Optical Physics (materials) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 96 Optical Physics (materials) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

New concepts and advanced materials for quantum nanophotonics

  Research Group: Inorganic Semiconductors
After the discovery of two-dimensional (2D) atomically thin carbon crystal, graphene, a very large family of layered 2D “van der Waals materials” came to light, called after the van der Waals forces holding together their atomic planes. Read more

Programming Colloidal Self-Assembly for Advanced Materials

A PhD place is available with Dr Dwaipayan Chakrabarti in the School of Chemistry at the University of Birmingham on a project themed on designing and developing colloidal advanced materials, using high-performance computing, underpinned by theories of statistical mechanics and wave propagation in periodic structures. Read more

Novel Phase Change Materials for Neuromorphic Applications

Supervisory Team: Ioannis Zeimpekis, Fred Gardes . Project description. In collaboration with a large EU consortium, we work to create a reprogrammable neuromorphic photonic platform for a variety of applications from telecommunications to biosensing. Read more

CDT-QTE: On-chip quantum cryptography using two-dimensional materials

Supervisory Team: Dr Yasir Noori, Prof Frederic Gardes, Prof Jize Yan. Project description: This project is part of the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Quantum Technology Engineering at the University of Southampton. Read more

Photonics for Net Zero Enabled by Patternable Boron-Phosphide Polymers

The manipulation of light in optoelectronic devices is a cornerstone for the delivery of Net Zero, for example in low-energy optical computing (silicon-photonics) and green hydrogen generation from water (photocatalysis). Read more

Industrial PhD project: Design and build of novel scientific instrumentation

X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) is the primary technique employed to determine the chemical composition and chemical state of material surfaces, with an analysis depth of approximately 5 nm. Read more

Quantum phenomena and energy conversion in two-dimensional materials nanostructures

The new PhD project in fundamental and applied physics is announced at Lancaster University Quantum Technologie Centre (LQTC) https://www.lancaster.ac.uk/quantum-technology/research/quantum-nanomechanics/… Read more
