Norfolk State University received a $519,949 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) awarded October 1, 2025, with completion targeted for September 30, 2026. The grant funds "Excellence in Research: Investigation of Novel Spin Textures in Non-Centrosymmetric Magnetic Materials," a research initiative focused on synthesizing and characterizing non-centrosymmetric magnetic materials through neutron scattering techniques. The project will investigate the fundamental spin and lattice properties of materials such as ScTMGe (where TM represents iron, manganese, cobalt, nickel, and copper), manganese-doped ScFeGe, and chiral magnetic oxides to determine their spin arrangements and potential applications in future nanometer-scale quantum-information technology. The grant supports collaborative research involving Norfolk State University, Prairie View A&M University, and Rice University, combining expertise in novel complex materials synthesis with neutron scattering characterization. Deliverables include advancing research capacity at an historically black college and university (HBCU) institution, training the next generation of graduate and undergraduate students in neutron scattering measurements, data analysis, single crystal growth, and low-temperature physics laboratory techniques. The project aligns with the NSF Office of Integrative Activities program's mandate to enhance U.S. research competitiveness and broaden participation in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) research and education.
