Descrizione

PhD Position: Excitons and Light–Matter interactions in Perovskite–TMD Structures in High Magnetic Fields Sintesi in italiano (traduzione automatica): Il progetto di dottorato presso l'Università di Radboud si concentra sull'interazione luce-materia in sistemi bidimensionali in campi magnetici elevati, con l'obiettivo di sviluppare funzionalità optoelettroniche innovative. Il candidato dovrà sintetizzare e caratterizzare materiali 2D, assemblare eterostrutture di van der Waals e indagare le loro proprietà optoelettroniche. È richiesta una laurea in fisica o ingegneria dei materiali. Il lavoro avverrà in un ambiente di ricerca interdisciplinare, collaborando con altri dottorandi e ricercatori post-dottorato. Inoltre, il candidato potrà contribuire ad attività didattiche e supportare ricercatori ospiti. Questo progetto mira a collegare la fisica fondamentale dei semiconduttori bidimensionali con applicazioni optoelettroniche di nuova generazione, come i fotodetettori e dispositivi energeticamente efficienti. In this project, you will explore light–matter interaction in two-dimensional systems in high magnetic fields, with the goal of understanding and engineering novel optoelectronic functionalities. The research combines materials synthesis, heterostructure assembly, advanced spectroscopy, and device fabrication. As a PhD candidate, you will: Synthesize and characterize 2D materials, for instance, layered halide perovskite semiconductors. Fabricate and assemble van der Waals heterostructures combining halide perovskites with transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). Investigate their optoelectronic properties, including excitonic effects and charge carrier dynamics, in high magnetic fields and under optical/THz excitation. Probe light-induced excitations and their coupling to electronic and excitonic states in high magnetic fields. Develop and test photodetectors and optoelectronic devices based on these materials. You will work in a collaborative and interdisciplinary environment, interacting with PhD candidates, postdoctoral researchers, scientific and technical staff, and contributing to joint experimental campaigns. You may also contribute to teaching activities within Radboud university and support for guest researchers of the research facility of HFML-FELIX (maximum of 10% of your time). This project aims to bridge fundamental physics of two-dimensional semiconductors with next-generation optoelectronic applications, including photodetection and energy-efficient devices. Your working environment The position is hosted by Radboud University and embedded in the PhD Graduate School of the Institute for Molecules and Materials . You will be based at HFML-FELIX, working in the Soft Condensed Matter & Nanomaterials group, while maintaining active connections with a network of research institutes across the Netherlands. You will be embedded in a dynamic and interdisciplinary research environment focusing on quantum and functional materials. The group combines expertise in 2D materials, perovskite semiconductors, and advanced optoelectronic characterization, with access to state-of-the-art facilities for high magnetic field experiments, spectroscopy, and nanofabrication. The research environment encourages close collaboration between experimentalists and theoreticians, alongside strong engagement with international research infrastructures and external guest researchers. This collaborative setting enables cutting-edge studies of light–matter interactions, excitonic phenomena, and device functionalities in low-dimensional systems. Annuncio in inglese.
