Condensed Matter and Materials Theory (349654)

From National Science Foundation (NSF)

The U.S. National Science Foundation is an independent federal agency that supports science and engineering in all 50 states and U.S. territories. NSF was established in 1950 by Congress to promote the progress of science, advance the national health, prosperity and welfare, and secure the national defense.

Type of Support

Overview

The CMMT program supports theoretical and computational materials research in various topical areas including Condensed Matter Physics, Biomaterials, Ceramics, Electronic and Photonic Materials, Metals and Metallic Nanostructures, Polymers, and Solid State and Materials Chemistry. Its goal is to advance conceptual understanding of both hard and soft materials, and materials-related phenomena. It emphasizes the development of analytical, computational, and data-centric techniques, including the use of data analytics and machine learning. The program provides support for predictive materials-specific theory, simulation, and modeling across a range of scales, from atomic to mesoscopic, aiming to yield fundamental insights into material properties, predict new materials and states of matter, and reveal new materials phenomena. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, strongly correlated electron systems, topological phases, low-dimensional materials, non-equilibrium phenomena, sustainable materials, and biologically inspired materials. CMMT encourages transformative research that includes developing new paradigms in computational and data-enabled approaches, fostering interdisciplinary research, and advancing understanding of emergent properties and phenomena.
