Boston College received a $429,939 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Materials Research (CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences) to conduct nanoscale imaging research on novel electronic states in kagome metals. The award, effective August 1, 2026 through July 31, 2029, supports fundamental scientific research utilizing spectroscopic-imaging scanning tunneling microscopy to visualize how intertwined electronic and magnetic orders form and vary across kagome lattice materials at the atomic scale. The research focuses on two structural families of materials: A(V,CR)3SB5 (where A is cesium, potassium, or rubidium) and CeT13Bi4, investigating how kagome lattice geometry, electronic correlations, disorder, strain, and magnetic field produce electronic reconstruction, rotational symmetry breaking, density waves, superconductivity, and magnetic textures. In addition to research deliverables, the grant integrates educational and workforce development components through training of graduate and undergraduate students in advanced materials measurement, data analysis, and scientific instrumentation. Boston College also provides hands-on laboratory experiences for high school students through the Research Science Institute and conducts outreach activities including laboratory tours and presentations for K-12 audiences. These activities are designed to provide early exposure to cutting-edge materials research and prepare students for careers in science and technology fields.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
