PhD scholarship in Room Temperature Ballistic Graphene Devices

jobbeskrivelse:
Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (DTU Nanotech) seeks a candidate for a vacant PhD position. EDGE aims to do fundamental research towards room temperature quantum transport devices based on ballistic transport and electron optics. The candidate will belong to the Nanocarbon group at DTU Nanotech, but work closely with two other PhD students in DTU Nanotech and DTU Fotonik, in a dynamic and exciting environment with researchers and students from the EU Graphene Flagship project as well as the Danish Centre of Excellence, Center for Nanostructured Graphene. The Nanocarbon group operates in three laboratories covering graphene and heterostructure synthesis and transfer, cryogenic transport measurements, Raman spectroscopy, 2D heterostructure assembly, and device fabrication, advanced scanning probe techniques, as well as the 1200 m2 state-of-the-art cleanroom (DTU Danchip) and Center for Electron Nanoscopy (DTU cen) with 2 FEI Titan Transmission Electron Microscopes. Responsibilities and tasks The PhD project involves the following tasks •Fabrication of ballistic graphene heterostructure devices using high resolution lithography (electron beam) as well as bottom-up synthesised nanostructures to guide electrons. •Electrical characterization and comparison with theoretical predictions at cryogenic and room temperatures. •Scanning probe microscopy and Kelvin-probe potentiometry in combination of four terminal device measurements. Qualifications Candidates should have a master's degree in engineering or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to the master's degree in engineering, and should have a strong background in solid state physics. Approval and Enrolment The scholarships for the PhD degree are subject to academic approval, and the candidates will be enrolled in one of the general degree programmes of DTU. For information about the general requirements for enrolment and the general planning of the scholarship studies, please see the DTU PhD Guide. Assessment The assessment of the applicants will be made by Professor Peter Bøggild and will be made with respect to the following criteria: •Strong background in solid state physics, quantum physics and nanoelectronics •Knowledge of transport properties of 2D materials and devices •Experience with transport measurement techniques and analysis •Experience with device fabrication and nanolithography, preferably 2D materials devices. •Experience in scanning probe microscopy, including Kelvin Probe force microscopy and surface potentiometry We offer We offer an interesting and challenging job in an international environment focusing on education, research, public-sector consultancy and innovation, which contribute to enhancing the economy and improving social welfare. We strive for academic excellence, collegial respect and freedom tempered by responsibility. The Technical University of Denmark (DTU) is a leading technical university in northern Europe and benchmarks with the best universities in the world. Salary and appointment terms The salary and appointment terms are consistent with the current rules for PhD degree students. The period of employment is 3 years.
