Dartmouth College received a $530,000 CAREER grant awarded August 1, 2026, through the National Science Foundation's Division of Materials Research under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. The five-year project, concluding July 31, 2031, advances the characterization of atomic-scale defects in quantum materials through the development and application of Broadband Cryogenic Transient Dielectric Spectroscopy (BCTDS). This proprietary measurement technique enables direct detection and analysis of two-level system defects that limit performance in semiconducting and superconducting devices. The research delivers quantitative data connecting material defects to manufacturing and processing methods, facilitating industry-wide identification of defect sources and mitigation strategies. Beyond core research deliverables, the grant supports the creation of open-access datasets, analytical tools, and pedagogical resources enabling broader adoption of BCTDS methodology across academic institutions. Educational and outreach components include development of interactive online modules, a research-focused podcast, and an illustrated children's book designed to increase accessibility of advanced materials science to undergraduate students and the general public. These integrated research and educational activities align with NSF's emphasis on both intellectual merit and broader impacts, strengthening the scientific workforce pipeline in quantum engineering and materials science disciplines.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
