Tasks
- Growth of thin films and heterostructures by means of Pulser Laser
Deposition
- Structural characterization by means of X-ray Diffraction
- Investigation of electronic properties by synchrotron radiation based techniques such as X-ray Photoemission Spectroscopy and X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy
Profile
You have a Masters level degree in science or engineering and have a
keen interest in applied research in highly correlated electron
materials in forms of thin films and heterostructures. You are a highly
motivated team player and would like to contribute to the experimental
activities concerning the growth of thin films by PLD, their structural
and electronic characterization.
Proven experience in thin film deposition research and in-situ growth
monitoring RHEED technique, as well as good knowledge of typical
materials science research topics concerning structural (e.g. substrate
induce strained thin film growth) and electronic properties, addressed
by X-ray Diffraction and synchrotron based advanced techniques (e.g.
X-ray photo-emission and X-ray absorption spectroscopies) will be of
advantage.
The successful candidate will contribute to the experimental activities
concerning the development of protocols for the growth of materials and
heterostructures thin films by Pulsed Laser Deposition, in particular
for the study of heterostructures based on strongly electron correlated
materials. The candidate will also work on the structural
characterization of the grown materials/heterostructures by X-ray
diffraction and to the investigation of the electronic and magnetic
properties of such systems by means of synchrotron radiation
spectroscopies.
Call instruction soon available.
