The research group Materials for electronics at Ilmenau University of technology is now offering a PH.D. position (1/2 E13). The Ilmenau University of Technology is a German public research university located in Ilmenau, Thuringia, Germany. The research group Materials for electronics belongs to both institute of materials engineering and science and institute of micro-and nanotechnologies (IMN). The lab has many modern instruments and facilities for nanofabrication and characterizations located in the clean room (over 1000 m2). 
The topic is on synthesis of metallic nanoparticles, alloys and nanosponges and investigation of their plasmonic properties. This research work consists of fabrication and synthesis, materials characterizations by using SEM, XRD, EDS, FIB and TEM, and optical measurement and simulation (FDTD simulation).
Profile of requirements:
The candidate should have master degree in physics, materials science or chemistry. Good knowledge and experiences in following areas are expected: plasmonic properties of noble metal nanostructures, fabrication and synthesis of metallic nanoparticles, and nanofabrication (lithography, Reactive ion etching), finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) simulation.
In addition, the candidate should speak good English and have the ability to work in the interdisciplinary area of physics and materials science and to write publications.
By interest please contact to Dr. Dong Wang (dong.wang@tu-ilmenau.de) or Prof. Peter Schaaf (peter.schaaf@tu-ilmenau.de). 返回小木虫查看更多
