Postdoc - Spin-polarized 2d Hole Gases in Gan

vor 2 Wochen


Berlin, Deutschland Paul Drude Institut Berlin Vollzeit

**About the position**
PostDoc (M/F/d)

Creating spin-polarized two-dimensional hole gases in nitride heterostructures

Can high hole densities indeed induce room-temperature ferromagnetism in GaN?

These structures will be grown using molecular-beam epitaxy. Achieving ferromagnetism in such systems could significantly impact the development of multi-functional advanced devices on well-established nitride-based platforms.

This advancement will lead to new types of memory devices, logic circuits, and quantum computing elements with enhanced performance and new functionalities.

**Your responsibilities**
- Growth of nitride heterostructures by molecular beam epitaxy
- Sample characterization by x-ray diffractometry, atomic force microscopy, and magneto-transport and C-V measurements
- Fabrication of gated-Hall bars
- Band diagram simulation using 1D Poisson-Schrödinger solver
- Data analysis and planning of experiments
- Assisting in the preparation of proposals for external funding
- Presentation of results at conferences and in publications

**Your profile**
- PhD degree in condensed matter physics, electrical engineering, materials science, or a related field
- Preferentially background in spintronics or device physics
- Hands-on experience with nitride-MBE is advantageous

**Position and salary**
This position is available from October 01, 2024 and is limited to a 2-year period initially with excellent chance to be extended.

Salary and benefits are according to the Treaty for German public service (TVöD Bund) to a level of E13 (100%), taking work experience and special professional skills into account.

**What we offer**
- Modern laboratories with a wide range of experimental techniques
- Supportive environment with experts for various scientific sub-fields
- International and culturally diverse community
- Location in the heart of Berlin with excellent public transport connections
- a subsidized travel ticket
- Possibility to participate in professional development and/or exchange programs

**About PDI**
The Paul-Drude-Institute is part of the Forschungsverbund Berlin e.V. and a member of the Leibniz Association. The institute carries out basic and applied research at the nexus of materials science, condensed matter physics, and device engineering.

In the Epitaxy department at PDI, a dedicated team of scientists, technicians, postdocs, and students operates 13 MBE systems for the synthesis of a wide range of material systems, including arsenides, nitrides, oxides, and 2D materials. This in-house collaborative environment offers abundant opportunities for both direct and indirect learning in various MBE technologies, making it an ideal place to start a career in the field.

For scientific information about the project, please contact Dr. YongJin Cho.

**Inclusive & equal opportunity employer**
- and life-conscious working environment.

**How to apply**

Your documents should include
- a dedicated cover letter
- CV
- diploma(s) and transcript(s)
- publication list
- letter(s) of recommendation/contact information of references
