Experimental Synthesis and Microscopic Characterization of Novel Materials

This subcontract, titled Experimental Synthesis and Microscopic Characterization of Novel Materials, supports the Air Force Office of Scientific Research within the Department of Defense. The project focuses on the physical synthesis and microscopic characterization of novel material phases, specifically involving the synthesis of low-dimensional heterostructures and the engineering of nanoscale photonic structures. Work is performed using advanced cleanroom facilities and specialized equipment, including TEM/SEM, AFM, and nanolithography. The selected contractor is responsible for delivering synthesized material samples and experimentally validated property reports. Due to the nature of the research, compliance with NSPM-33 foreign tie disclosure is required. The opportunity was posted on October 28, 2026, with a response deadline of February 19, 2027, falling under NAICS code 541715.
