This $1,000,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Materials Research supports the collaborative research project "DMREF: NSF-NSERC: Targeted Design of Quantum Diodic Magnets (QUDIM) for Low-Power Applications". The project aims to design, synthesize, characterize, and benchmark a new class of quantum magnetic materials called QUDIM, which exhibit intrinsic nonreciprocal transport enabling direction-dependent conductivity for electrical and microwave rectification. This research seeks to develop a discovery pipeline linking theory, computation, synthesis, and experimental characterization of QUDIM materials. The project will also promote interdisciplinary education by developing teaching modules on computational, data-driven, and AI-based approaches in quantum materials research. The award period runs from October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2029, and the research will be conducted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
