Beschreibung

We are offering a

PhD Student Position (M/F/d)

for the topic:

"Acoustophotoelectric Effect in 2D-vdW-semiconductors for efficient photodetection"
Dynamic strain engineering in 2D-van der Waals (vdW) materials opens new perspectives in materials design.

The goal of this project is to investigate the photoelectric response of 2D-vdW-semiconductors under the influence of surface acoustic waves (SAW).

The planned works will be carried out mostly in Prof. R. Blick's group, CHyN, Universität Hamburg, and partially at the Leibniz-Institut für Kristallzüchtung (IKZ, Berlin). At IKZ, we produce piezo-electric oxide perovskite films, 2D-vdW-semiconductors and have established layer transfer processing. In cooperation with IKZ-scientists, these materials should be optimized to increase the coupling efficiency between SAW and 2D-materials.

At University Hamburg, the tasks of the PhD student will include sample fabrication via layer transfer and lithographic processes, measurements of the photoelectric effect under the influence of SAW and THz radiation, and interpretation and modelling of experimental data.

Qualifications:

Applicants should be highly motivated to explore and develop a novel material platfor
Applicants must hold a master degree either in physics, chemistry, materials science or related fields with relevant experience and must have an experimental background
Skills in these fields are welcome: materials science, high frequency equipment, piezo/ferroelectricity, data analysis (e.g. Origin, Matlab, Python, Autocad)
Good English language skills written and oral
