Superlattices and quantum confinement in 2D materials via substrate effects

This research activity will be focused on creating new nanophotonic devices based on 2D materials including (but not limited to) graphene, boron nitride and transition metal dichalcogenides . The candidate will study quantum confinement and band structure engineering of carriers and excitons in 2D and van der Waals materials using a patterned gate substrate, which can achieve nanometer-level features thanks to a new nanofabrication process. Funding for this position is provided by the European Research Council trough the 2020 Starting Grant “SubNanoOptoDevices’’

Requirements:  a degree in materials science, engineering, or physics, with a strong interest in solid state physics, nanomaterials, experimental optics and optoelectronics. Work experience within a micro/nano-fabrication facility will be positively considered. A working knowledge of Python or Matlab programming is desirable.
