The National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) awarded a $403,697 Project Grant to Emory University to advance magnetization dynamics and spin-dependent phenomena at interfaces. The project aims to develop a new device architecture for detecting voltage transverse to the current, which will produce larger signals and be compatible with a wider range of materials compared to the usual longitudinal voltage detection. By integrating engineering with fundamental research on the mechanism driving magnetization dynamics, the project will impact both nanomagnetic technologies and the scientific understanding of spin-dependent phenomena at interfaces. The project also includes innovative undergraduate STEM course development and a PI-STEM teacher partnership with a local elementary school to enhance the science curriculum through hands-on activities and engagement.
