  Toward next generation of solar cells: the correlation between efficiency and interface atomic structures in perovskite solar cells
University of York Department of Physics
  Research Group: Condensed Matter Physics
  Dr V Lazarov, Dr L Lari
Application Deadline: 1 September 2019
Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have the potential to revolutionise the field of solar cells. Their efficiency in the last decades has increased by an order of magnitude, which is unprecedented in this field.

  First principles modelling of defects in solar absorber materials
University of York Department of Physics
  Research Group: Condensed Matter Physics
  Dr K McKenna
Application Deadline: 1 September 2019
A number of materials are emerging as promising candidates to replace silicon in the next generation of solar cells. They offer the prospect of high efficiency, low cost and flexibility allowing for their incorporation into building materials for example.

  Modelling the properties of electron and hole polarons in materials
University of York Department of Physics
  Research Group: Condensed Matter Physics
  Dr K McKenna
Application Deadline: 1 September 2019
The strong coupling between electrons and phonons in some materials leads to the formation of small polarons (quasiparticles comprised of a localised electron and an associated polarisation field).

  Theory-led optimisation of materials for tunnelling magnetoresistive devices
University of York Department of Physics
  Research Group: Condensed Matter Physics
  Dr K McKenna
Application Deadline: 1 September 2019
Tunnelling magnetoresistive devices find applications as a magnetic sensors in hard disk read heads and in emerging non-volatile magnetic random access memory (MRAM) technologies.

  Nanophononic metamaterials: engineering phonons to convert between heat and electricity
University of York Department of Physics
  Research Group: Condensed Matter Physics
  Dr P Hasnip
Application Deadline: 1 September 2019
Thermoelectrics are materials which convert temperature gradients into electricity, or vice versa. These materials can harvest waste heat from industrial processes, turning it into electricity, or use current to provide efficient cooling.

  Light emitting two-dimensional materials for silicon emitters
University of York Department of Physics
  Research Group: Condensed Matter Physics
  Dr Y Wang, Prof T Krauss
Application Deadline: 1 September 2019
Silicon photonics has been widely recognized as the potential technology to achieve broadband, high-density, high-speed data interconnections for next generation computing.

Type/Funding
  Towards measuring the magnetic field of single atoms: EMCD in electron microscope
University of York Department of Physics
  Research Group: Condensed Matter Physics
  Dr V Lazarov, Dr D Kepaptsoglou
Applications accepted all year round
The desire for investigation tools with the ability of detecting very localized magnetic properties down to atomic scale is driven by the need of drive of developing ultrafast, low power and non-volatile data and logic devices.
