The Role
The School of Mathematics, Statistics and Physics, within the Faculty of Science, Agriculture and Engineering is seeking to appoint an enthusiastic Research Associate/Assistant in mixed-anions semiconducting materials and devices, to work with Dr Elisabetta Arca on the synthesis of van der Waal mixed-anions semiconductors and their implementation into devices such as p-n junctions.
Semiconductors are key-components of electronic and optoelectronic devices thus playing a pivotal role in the advancement of a number of seemingly unrelated technologies such as the field of microelectronics, the renewable energy sector and the communication sector.
Traditional semiconductors are getting pushed to the edge of their physical limits by the constantly increasing.
and often conflicting requirements of modern devices. van der Waals (vdW) semiconductors and related two-dimensional materials (2D) can provide a solution to these challenges due their ability to overcome some of the physical limitations affecting traditional semiconductors.
The is a full-time (37 per week) fixed term position with an estimated start date of January 2024 or shortly thereafter.
