This $5,186,797 federal Project Grant award was provided by the Air Force Research Laboratory under the Air Force Defense Research Sciences Program (CFDA 12.800) to the University of Arkansas to develop multifunctional multiferroic 2D sensors. The award has a period of performance from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2026.
Specifically, the work will focus on materials synthesis, ferroelectric and piezoelectric characterization, and device fabrication for 2D ferroelectric materials. This includes development of chalcogenide-based thin films and 2D piezoelectric materials using techniques like pulsed laser deposition, chemical vapor deposition, and mechanical exfoliation. The University of Arkansas will collaborate with Georgia Tech Research Corporation, who will lead the materials growth, ferroelectric response characterization, and investigations into multi-property coupling.
The objective of this research is to advance the understanding and capabilities of 2D ferroelectric materials for use in multifunctional sensor applications. The findings are expected to contribute to the Air Force's efforts to maintain technological superiority in areas like quantum computing, materials science, and advanced electronics.
