(DURIP-21) INSTRUMENTATION FOR CHARACTERIZING MAGNETO-OPTICAL RESPONSE OF 2-D AND CHIRAL MATERIALS AND THEIR MAGNETIC NANOCOMPOSITES
Abstract
The proposed instrumentation will provide key characterization of combined optical and magnetic properties of new generation magneto-optical materials, leading to materials discovery that will enable multiple novel optical and magnetic technologies of high value to Air Force missions. It will enable testing and screening of magneto-optic activity in a broad range of novel magnetic 2-D materials being developed in collaboration with AFRL, and chiral polymer magnetic nanocomposites developed under another AFOSR-supported program to produce dramatically enhance magneto-optic response. Ultimately, these materials with unprecedented magneto-optical response may enable optical detection of very weak magnetic fields such as those arising from brain waves. The resulting science and subsequent technology would provide quantification and assessment of the cognitive state of military personnel by magnetoencephalography, leading to a new Quantified Warrior Paradigm. The educational experience of students, from undergraduates to post-doctoral researchers, will be enhanced by working with this state-of-the-art instrument.
