The National Science Foundation Division of Materials Research awarded Louisiana State University $399,319 on September 1, 2026, for research on spin transport across interfaces in unconventional superconductors under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The project runs through August 31, 2029, with performance in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The research develops methodology and quantitative estimates for spin currents in triplet superconductor structures, analyzing how superconducting behavior changes near contacts that inject or collect spin currents. The principal investigator and team examine spin and charge transport as functions of superconductor type, lead material composition, and contact and interface properties, with outcomes intended to guide the use of triplet superconductors in quantum information, metrology, and sensing applications. The work includes training of graduate and undergraduate students in technical skills, high-performance computing, and soft skills in communication, mentoring, and collaboration for the quantum science and technology workforce.
