Not funded by a EU programme Is the Job related to staff position within a Research Infrastructure? No Offer Description In this project, you will explore light-matter interaction in two-dimensional systems in high magnetic fields, with the goal of understanding and engineering novel optoelectronic functionalities. The research combines materials synthesis, heterostructure assembly, advanced spectroscopy, and device fabrication. As a PhD candidate, you will: - Synthesize and characterize 2D materials, for instance, layered halide perovskite semiconductors. - Fabricate and assemble van der Waals heterostructures combining halide perovskites with transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). - Investigate their optoelectronic properties, including excitonic effects and charge carrier dynamics, in high magnetic fields and under optical/THz excitation. - Probe light-induced excitations and their coupling to electronic and excitonic states in high magnetic fields. - Develop and test photodetectors and optoelectronic devices based on these materials. You will work in a collaborative and interdisciplinary environment, interacting with PhD candidates, postdoctoral researchers, scientific and technical staff, and contributing to joint experimental campaigns. You may also contribute to teaching activities within Radboud university and support for guest researchers of the research facility of HFML-FELIX (maximum of 10% of your time). This project aims to bridge fundamental physics of two-dimensional semiconductors with next-generation optoelectronic applications, i...
