This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research by The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to realize ultra-high mobility semiconductors through the manipulation of light-matter interactions. The $283,100 award, running from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2030, focuses on two key aims: 1) suppressing charge carrier scattering in disordered van der Waals semiconductors via strong light-electronic excitation coupling, and 2) accelerating exciton and charge transport in 2D semiconductors using phonon-polaritons in polar dielectrics. The research team will utilize non-contact ultrafast optical microscopy to directly visualize the dynamics of charges, excitons, and polaritons, providing mechanistic insights to inform the development of high-speed, low-resistance semiconductor technologies for applications like microelectronics. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
