Doctoral student in Physics within nanowire based light emitting diodes
The goal within the project is to evaluate the potential for charge carrier diffusion-induced light-emitting diodes based on nanowires. The candidate will develop the growth and characterization of nanowires for light-emitting diodes based on charge carrier diffusion and also quantized heterostructures for fundamental electrical and optical measurements.
- The work is mainly experimental and you will work in a clean room environment.
- You will learn and optimize metal-organic gas phase epitaxy for synthesis, and cleanroom tools will be used for processing and further characterization.
- Process development for surface passivation and fabrication of millimeter-sized nanowire light-emitting diodes containing millions of light-emitting diodes will be essential.
- You are expected to work independently and, in a group, as well as in close collaboration with other research groups linked to the project. For example, another EU-funded project based on light emission and light detection is underway where you will contribute materials and knowledge about their production and properties.

Postdoctoral fellow in Physics within THz-electron spin resonance-ellipsometry
Project: The aim of this postdoctoral project is to conduct research in THz material analysis to expand the scope of THz ellipsometry and optical Hall effect to electron spin resonance ellipsometry. The method will mainly be applied in materials science, in particular for the investigation of crystal phases and defects in semiconductors. In addition to nitride material systems, a focus area will be Ga2O3 and other ultrawide bandgap semiconductors.
Group leader: Prof. Vanya Darakchieva, Solid State Physics
