PhD Position:School of Electronic and Electrical Engineering,UK
Job Title: Terahertz devices from nanoscale semiconductors
They seek a PhD student in the field of experimental terahertz (THz) electronics. The post is available from 1 October 2010, and represents an outstanding opportunity for an enthusiastic and dedicated person to join a world leading THz research team. The post funded as part of recent major awards (totalling ~£6.5M) from both the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Councils and the European Research Council.
You will develop and exploit ultrafast (THz frequency / picosecond timescale) techniques to investigate the physics of nanoscale quantum confined semiconductor systems, and build on these findings to develop new technology for the study of single-electron transport. The project will involve the design, fabrication, and measurement of novel nanoscale semiconductor-based nanostructures, using state-of-the-art experimental techniques including electron-beam-lithography. You will also receive training in, and then use, a wide range of experimental equipment, including ultrafast lasers, and a milli-Kelvin cryostat. This CASE PhD award is jointly funded by an industrial partner, the National Physical Laboratory, who will provide additional training and resources during the PhD.
The project will make extensive use of the University of Leeds Terahertz Photonics Laboratory. Sited in the School of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, this Laboratory is a dedicated facility for the investigation and exploitation of THz frequency components and systems. Built in April 2004, it is probably the largest university facility for THz research in Europe/Asia, and one of the largest in the world. The facility contains eight optical bench systems, and includes: five pumped Ti:sapphire laser systems; a Bruker 66V FTIR spectroscopy system; three continuous flow helium cryostats, and one 1.2 K Oxford Instruments pumped helium bath cryostat, all with optical access; a 12 T, 8 mK base temperature dilution refrigerator; purged and evacuated THz time-domain spectroscopy systems, including an ultra-broad bandwidth capability; and on-chip, guided-wave THz apparatus. The project will also make use of our III-V semiconductor MBE laboratory, nanotechnology cleanroom, and microwave electronics laboratories.
Formal applications for research degree study should be made either on line through the University website, or on the University’s application form. Detailed information of how to apply on line can be found at:
