PhD student (2x2 years) in charge transfer in semiconducting polymer / CVD
diamond heterostructures
(mandate WNI/2009/002)
Job description
The PhD student will conduct research within the BOF-project “Formation and
charge transfer mechanism in semiconducting polymer / CVD diamond
heterostructures – POLYDIAM”. In collaboration between different research
groups of the Institute for Materials Research (IMO), various small molecules
and conducting oligomers/polymers will be combined with CVD diamond films to
form heterostructures. The candidate will focus on chemical bonding procedures,
developing photo and electrochemical coupling procedures of short chain
molecules to diamond surfaces. He/she will perform morphological and structural
characterisation of the formed heterostructures, followed by a thorough
electronic and optoelectronic characterisation using highly sensitive
techniques studying the charge transfer mechanism present in said structures.
The nature of the project is highly cross-disciplinary and requires a candidate
with good communication skills and a keen interest in team
work.
Profile
Master degree (or equivalent) in physics, chemistry, engineering or materials
science. A background in any of the fields mentioned in the job description
will be considered a plus. Students who will obtain their diploma at the end of
this academic year, are also invited to apply.
Offer
The appointment has a duration of 2x2 years (assessment after 2 years).
