This $590,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Chemistry under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program supports a collaborative research effort between Professors Oliver Monti of the University of Arizona and Yonatan Dubi of Ben Gurion University. The project aims to develop a quantitative understanding of the chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect, where chiral molecules can preferentially transmit electrons of a specific spin without...

This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $493,565 awarded on July 15, 2022 will support research into coherent control and analysis of atomic multi-photon processes at the Missouri University of Science and Technology through June 30, 2025. The research aims to advance established coherent control schemes and develop new methods to manipulate electron dynamics in photo-absorption processes using lithium atoms. Investigators will shape both the microscopic properties of femtosecond laser...

The Regents of the University of California at Riverside received a $501,641 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (47.049) program to develop novel plasmonic chiral superstructures using magnetic assembly of hybrid magnetic/plasmonic nanoparticles. Professor Yin and his team will explore how to create inherent chirality, or handedness, in nanostructures by assembling hybrid nanoparticles containing magnetic oxides and noble metals in magnetic...

The National Science Foundation awarded a $369,059 CAREER grant under the Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program to Auburn University. The grant, titled "CHIRAL PHENOMENA OF EXCITED STATES IN SPINTRONICS", supports a 5-year research project investigating novel magneto-optical effects and nonreciprocal transport properties that emerge from chiral interactions between magnetic, phononic, and photonic excitations in two-dimensional materials and van der Waals heterostructures. The...

This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Chemistry, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, supports research by Diana Qiu of Yale University to develop theoretical and computational tools to understand how electrons in materials interact with circularly polarized light. The $424,443 award, running from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2027, will focus on hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite materials that can couple...

This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry award provides $760,000 over 4 years to support an interdisciplinary research project led by Professors Colin Nuckolls and Xavier Roy of Columbia University. The project aims to explore the development of a new class of macromolecular materials that combine electronic and chiral properties, with the goal of understanding how chirality can be used to control spin-selective electron transport. This research will integrate advanced design...

This three-year, $440,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemistry will support research into controlling the selectivity of photochemical reactions through the use of aligning media and plane-polarized light. Professor Evgueni Nesterov of Northern Illinois University will investigate a novel method for tuning photochemistry with polarized light, which has the potential to control reaction pathways and selectivity by uniformly aligning photoreactive compounds...

The National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry awarded the University of California, Los Angeles a $600,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to investigate spin, exciton, and chemical dynamics in crystalline solids for applications in quantum information science. Professor Miguel A. Garcia-Garibay and his research group will use pulsed lasers on nano-crystals of selected ketones suspended in water to detect the absorption spectra and decay...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program provides $430,000.00 in funding to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to explore controlling photoinduced spin processes through polymer design. The key products and services to be delivered under this 3-year award include: Developing novel macromolecular architectures that enable control over exciton dynamics and spin interactions in...
