Federal Project Grant Award Summary New Mexico State University's Research Administration Services Division received a $255,382 CAREER (Faculty Early-Career Development Program) Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Materials Research under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), awarded July 15, 2026, with completion targeted for June 30, 2031. The award supports fundamental research to establish engineering methods for creating and controlling emergent magnetic behavior in complex oxide heterostructures—layered materials where novel magnetic properties arise from combined electron interactions, atomic arrangements, and material structure rather than individual atomic properties alone. The research deliverables encompass three interconnected technical objectives: stabilization and control of magnetic skyrmions (swirling magnetic patterns); engineering Berry-curvature junctions with nonreciprocal transport properties; and realizing synthetic altermagnetism through integrated oxide layers with contrasting properties. The project employs thin-film synthesis via pulsed laser deposition and characterization using x-ray diffraction, magnetotransport measurements, and vibrating sample magnetometry. Complementing the research portfolio, the award integrates education and workforce development through new quantum materials coursework, hands-on student research training, and public engagement activities to advance participation in modern materials science and support emerging quantum technology applications.
