Politecnico di Milano
For the EU-funded MSCA-ITN-2020 project entitled "Developing
optoelectronics in two-dimensional semiconductors" (project acronym
"2Exciting"), the Physics Department at the Politecnico di Milano
(POLIMI) offers 2 positions as Early Stage Researcher (ESR).
The work will be carried out in the research group of Prof. Christoph
Gadermaier (as part of the larger femtosecond spectroscopy activities),
please contact christoph.gadermaier (at) polimi.it for further information. The ESRs will be enrolled in the PhD programme at the Physics Department.
Job Positions
ESR n°1 will focus on the use of femtosecond optical spectroscopy to
explore possible handles for controlling the electron dynamics in
two-dimensional semiconductors via external and internal parameters. To
this end, the ESR will investigate the role of strain, defects, and the
dielectric environment on the electron dynamics, the dynamics of bright
and dark excitons, and the role of exciton diffusion for electron
relaxation and contribute to the development of devices that base their
functionality on the variation of these control parameters. explore the
effect of strain on the electronic properties in 2DS, including tensile,
biaxial, isotropic (3D) and shear strain. Influence of temperature,
stacking, environment (substrate/dielectric), and defects will be
considered. Close cooperation with experiments on the manipulation of
electronic structure by strain is envisaged.
ESR n°2 will focus on the use of femtosecond optical spectroscopy to
understand the role of the stacking angle on the charge separation and
recombination and on the properties of indirect excitons as well as the
influence of the Moiré pattern on the indirect exciton and the role of
the bright and dark exciton level alignment on the valley polarization.
To this end, the ESR will investigate the relaxation behaviour of bright
and dark excitons in different heterostructures, the spin transfer in
heterostructures and the possibility of dielectric control of the
relaxation behaviour.
Job Requirements:
University degree (MSc degree or equivalent) in physics, materials science or similar.
