This $746,200 Project Grant was awarded on September 1, 2025 by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to the University of South Carolina. The project aims to experimentally investigate the physical properties of unconventional superconductors to expose new phases and identify signatures of superconducting pairing symmetries. The research team will utilize second harmonic generation, a nonlinear optical measurement method highly sensitive to material symmetries, in combination with other electronic and magnetic property assessments. The goal is to provide insights that could guide the custom design of materials capable of hosting superconductivity under less extreme conditions, with the potential to dramatically improve energy efficiency. The project also includes an educational component focused on engaging young minds in physics and preparing the next generation quantum technology workforce.
