PhD scholarship in Multimodal Quantum Materials Devices
Your overall focus will be to develop device platforms that allow engineered quantum superlattices to be studied by complementary electrical and structural probes. You will work experimentally with nanofabrication, 2D materials and electronic transport, and develop sample architectures that can be transferred between measurement platforms. A central goal is to connect the structure of a fabricated superlattice with its measured electronic response. You will work closely with researchers at DTU Physics, DTU NanoLab and external collaborators. Your primary tasks will be to: Design and fabricate chip architectures for quantum superlattice devices, including embedded contacts and electron-transparent regions. Develop transfer and stacking processes for graphene, hBN, transition metal dichalcogenides and charge-transfer materials. Develop device geometries compatible with low-temperature transport, TEM and surface-sensitive measurements. Perform electronic transport measurements and correlate them with TEM, SEM, AFM and related characterization. Develop open-surface sample platforms for nanoARPES and related probes with external collaborators. Establish reproducible fabrication and measurement protocols and analyse experimental data.
Postdoctoral Fellowship in Experimental Quantum Matter
The work is at the border of quantum simulation and quantum matter, and takes advantage of novel epitaxial hybrid materials. Candidates should have a PhD in condensed matter experimental physics, mesoscopic electron transport, or experimental solid-state quantum information science. The project combines nanofabrication, low-temperature measurements using a cryofree dilution refrigerator, low-noise and high frequency electrical measurement techniques, data analysis, and close collaboration with theoretical physicists. Scientific writing and communication will be in English. Inquiries about the position can be made to Associate Professor Saulius Vaitiekėnas (saulius@nbi.ku.dk).
