PhD Position: Functional heterostructures, C2N: PhD Position in Growth of advanced functional heterostructures in III-V nanowires at the Centre for Nanosciences and Nanotechnology – Marcoussis Campus

PhD position: Work will be carried out in the framework of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie European ITN project titled INDEED, that colaborates 11 academic labs, 2 industrial partners alongwith associated partners.

Work Involved: The PhD student at C2N will perform research on :

1. Growth by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) of nanowires of III-V semiconductors.
2. Maintain an intimate coupling between experimental investigations
3. Modeling of the nucleation and growth mechanisms.
4. Explore the growth of two kinds of heterostructures.
5. Involves a high aspect ratio quantum size insertions of a material different from the rest of the nanowire.
6. Nanowire where a spatial modulation of the electronic properties will be achieved by varying the diameter of the structure rather than composition.
7. Fabricating arrays of such structures on a patterned substrate with a high yield of vertical and identical nanowires.

To develop and perform advanced modeling of the growth of these structures and to investigate experimentally their fabrication.
