**About the position**
PhD-Student (M/F/d) - Computational design of advanced hybrid group III-V compounds

This project will center on employing Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Reactive Force Field (ReaxFF) methods to investigate the molecular beam epitaxy growth and characterization of group III alloys, e.g. Al, Ga, In, and Sc, and their respective group V compounds

Project aims to:
Establish correlations between synthesis parameters and fundamental solid-state phenomena in group III alloys and their group V compounds.

Develop innovative computational methods for stabilizing energetically unfavorable phases.
- Identify and design new materials with optimized optical, electrical, and structural properties.

For more information about the project, please contact Prof. Nadire Nayir
