The University of California, Berkeley received a $412.8K Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Materials Research under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2029. The award funds research focused on imaging electronic wavefunctions in two-dimensional (2D) semiconducting devices at high magnetic fields. The primary research deliverable involves using Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) to directly visualize and characterize correlated electron behavior in single-layer and bilayer Transition Metal Dichalcogenide (TMD) field-effect transistor devices operating at low temperatures and high magnetic fields, with particular emphasis on exploring how applied fields affect electronic wavefunctions in Moiré-based homobilayer systems. Beyond direct research outcomes, the project delivers workforce development products through training of graduate students and postdoctoral researchers in cutting-edge experimental STM techniques. The research is designed to generate fundamental scientific characterization of 2D materials behavior that will validate or refute theoretical predictions regarding electronic properties unique to these atomically thin materials, thereby supporting the technological development of next-generation semiconductor devices with applications in miniaturization, energy efficiency, communications, and quantum information manipulation.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
