The University of Texas at Dallas received a $478,361 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Materials Research under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) on February 15, 2026, with a completion date of January 31, 2031. Under this CAREER award, Prof. Kyle McCall and his research team will characterize the local atomic structure of soft metal halide and chalcohalide semiconductors using X-ray total scattering techniques. The project will link local structural distortions—particularly those involving anharmonic ns² lone pairs—to optical and electronic properties, advancing the scientific understanding necessary to engineer semiconductors with enhanced performance characteristics for electronics and energy applications. Beyond research outcomes, this award includes substantial workforce development and educational components. Graduate and undergraduate students will receive training in materials chemistry and electronic characterization, strengthening the semiconductor workforce in the Dallas-Fort Worth region. The project will establish a 4-semester undergraduate team research course and create an emerging materials workshop providing lesson plans and demonstrations for K-12 and undergraduate educators. These educational initiatives aim to foster sustained interest in materials research and build pipeline capacity in semiconductor-related fields across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.Federal Grant Award Summary
