Masters, PhD, Postdoc, Research: University of Sheffield
Applications accepted all year round
Competition Funded Project (Students Worldwide)
Overview
1. The isolation of single-atomic layer graphene has led to a surge of interest in a large family of layered crystals with strong in-plane bonds and weak van der Waals interlayer coupling.
2. Properties of such quantum materials in a few-atomic-layer form are strongly influenced by the quantum confinement of the electronic excitations due to the extreme crystal thinness.
3. Heterostructures made by stacking different atomically thin 2D crystals provide a platform for creating new artificial materials with potential for discoveries and applications.
4. PhD project you will work on advancing fabrication technology to explore the potential of van der Waals heterostructures in photonics.
5. The focus on studies of the strong light-matter interaction in 2D materials embedded in microcavities, opening unprecedented possibilities to explore new physics and device applications.
6. The candidate will join an energetic team of PhD students and postdocs. Candidate will perform advanced optics experiments in the state-of-the-art laboratories of the Sheffield group, work on novel device fabrication in the modern clean room and collaborate with leading groups around the world on 2D physics and technology.
