Michigan State University received a $550,000 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 to develop synthetic methods for creating high-quality single crystals of hybrid layered semiconductors with precisely controlled magnetic dopants, specifically focusing on manganese (II) doping at concentrations exceeding 10%. The research team will employ metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) growth techniques with custom-designed precursor systems to achieve improved dopant incorporation and control, addressing the technical challenge of producing defect-free semiconductor crystals with uniformly distributed magnetic atoms suitable for quantum spintronic and photonic applications. Beyond the core research deliverable, the project includes educational and outreach components. The grant supports interdisciplinary training for undergraduate and graduate students in materials research, integration of materials science concepts into university coursework, and public engagement through K-12 outreach events. These activities advance both the scientific objective of enhancing semiconductor material quality and NSF's broader mission to strengthen the Nation's scientific workforce and public understanding of fundamental science.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
