The University of Virginia received a $232,098 collaborative research project grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2028. This Research at Undergraduate Institutions (RUI) award funds experimental and theoretical investigation of topologically protected magnetic phases in Heusler alloys—metallic compounds that exhibit unique geometric robustness properties with potential applications in quantum computing and information storage. The research combines crystallographic, chemical compositional, and electronic band structure analyses to identify Heusler alloy platforms capable of supporting non-collinear (non-parallel) magnetic configurations that leverage topological protection to resist deformation and disruption. Beyond the core scientific research deliverables, the project provides structured training and research experience in cutting-edge quantum science for undergraduate and graduate students at the University of Virginia's Charlottesville, Virginia campus, thereby contributing to workforce development in quantum technologies. The collaborative, interdisciplinary approach integrating experimental measurements with theoretical modeling is characteristic of NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program, which emphasizes fundamental research advancing the nation's scientific enterprise across mathematics, physics, materials science, and related disciplines.Summary
