Graphene is known to possess countless extraordinary properties. However, despite the fact that graphene is considered a miracle material, there are also properties which are not inherently present in graphene: these being an electronic bandgap and magnetic properties.
The aim
Graphene is known to possess countless extraordinary properties. However, despite the fact that graphene is considered a miracle material, there are also properties which are not inherently present in graphene: these being an electronic bandgap and magnetic properties.
The aim of the present postdoc position is to modify graphene´s properties by adsorbing specially synthesized molecules on its upper surface, in combination with selecting the substrate which is in contact with its lower surface. In particular the fabrication of metal-organic coordination structures on graphene enables the periodic arrangement of magnetic atoms. These types of structures should be tested for inducing magnetism into graphene.
The necessary characterizations regarding structural, electronic and magnetic properties will be carried out with scanning probe microscopy/spectroscopy, photoelectron spectroscopy and transport measurements.
We are looking for a motivated candidate with:
- a PhD, obtained no longer than 4 years ago, in Physics, Material Sciences or Physical Chemistry
- experience in at least one of the following areas: scanning probe microscopy, photoemission spectroscopy or transport measurements
- a good command of English (oral and written), enthusiasm and a team player
- a passion for science
- excellent communication skills
- the ability to write scientific papers and deliver presentations.
