This federal Project Grant award for $249,289 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049). The award supports a research project at Western Michigan University to study the role of defects in CuCrO2, a semiconductor material with potential applications in transparent electronics and magnetic data storage. The project aims to synthesize high-quality thin films of CuCrO2, introduce controlled defects, and investigate how these defects impact the electronic and magnetic properties of the material. This research is expected to expand the understanding of how defects affect the behavior of quantum materials and provide insights for creating tailored material properties. The project also provides training opportunities for students in experimental methods relevant to industrial materials processing and cutting-edge research in this field.
