The Ohio State University has been awarded $650,000 through the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemistry under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to conduct a three-year research project (August 1, 2026–July 31, 2029) examining the role of structural defects on electron dynamics in copper oxide semiconductors. The research team will deliver experimental benchmarks and theoretical frameworks through a dual-methodology approach combining extreme ultraviolet (XUV) spectroscopy with multiscale quantum chemical calculations. The primary deliverables include element- and oxidation-state-specific characterization of copper M-edge spectra in copper oxide thin films containing controlled populations of copper and oxygen vacancies, alongside a generalizable theoretical framework for understanding defect-mediated electron dynamics in semiconductor systems. Beyond the primary research outputs, the project will generate methodological advances applicable to semiconductor chemistry challenges in catalysis and quantum information technologies, establish computational and experimental protocols transferable to other material systems, and strengthen the ultrafast science research community through organized scientific workshops that foster collaboration between experimental and theoretical researchers. The work directly addresses national research priorities in semiconductor and microelectronics development by advancing understanding and control of structural defects that currently limit device performance in copper oxide and related p-type semiconductors.Federal Grant Award Summary
