The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $250,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program to the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (New Mexico Tech) in Socorro, NM. The grant supports research to develop a process-driven approach for producing ultrathin dielectric layers using 2D layered materials. The goal is to provide an alternative to conventional deposition methods by converting selected 2D materials into functional dielectrics through controlled oxidation. This approach aims to address the challenge of making atomically flat and low-defect dielectric films for use in next-generation electronic components like computer chips, memory devices, and advanced sensors. The 26-month project, running from February 2026 to January 2028, will also provide students hands-on experience with advanced tools and materials, helping prepare them for careers in science and engineering.
