The University of Delaware received a $600,024 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Materials Research under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), effective September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2029. This award funds research establishing the foundations of magnonic straintronics—an approach utilizing controlled strain to manipulate magnons (magnetic waves) and their interactions with crystal-lattice vibrations in ferromagnetic materials. The research team will design and fabricate patterned substrates that create uniform and nonuniform strain landscapes, conduct microwave antenna excitations to generate coherent spin waves, and perform spatially resolved measurements to characterize how strain modifies spin-wave propagation, interference, and robustness in both van der Waals ferromagnets and conventional ferromagnetic thin films. The project delivers both research outputs and educational products. Research deliverables include engineered magnonic crystal substrates with periodic strain patterns, experimental data on magnon-phonon coupling effects under static and dynamic strain conditions, and foundational knowledge applicable to next-generation low-energy magnetic devices. Educational outputs include training for undergraduate and graduate students in materials research, device fabrication, and data analysis, along with hands-on outreach activities utilizing three-dimensional printed structures to communicate strain concepts and material effects to students, teachers, and community members. These combined outputs position the work to advance integrated magnetic, mechanical, and electronic functionality in miniaturized devices while building workforce capacity in materials science research.Federal Grant Award Summary
