Postdoc Vacancy: Terahertz Microscopy and Imaging on 2D Heterostructures

Postdoc Vacancy: Terahertz Microscopy and Imaging on 2D Heterostructures

ARCNL - Advanced Research Center for Nanolithography

Amsterdam, Netherlands

Work Activities

In this project you will work on expanding our terahertz (THz) time domain microspectroscopy and imaging capabilities, and on applying THz (emission) microscopy to study 2D materials and 2D heterostructures. The microscope will use femtosecond lasers to generate and detect terahertz pulses using non-linear optical techniques. You will then apply the THz microscope to measure the properties of 2D materials and 2D heterostructures on micrometer length scales.

The proposed work is part of the Teratom project, led by the Technical University Eindhoven, and financed by National Growth Fund NXTGEN Hightech programme: Future-proof high-tech equipment.

Qualifications

A PhD degree in physics, physical chemistry, or a closely related subject is required for this project. You have to enjoy working with optics and ultrafast lasers and have some affinity with electronics. If you have experience with one or more of the following topics: femtosecond lasers – terahertz time-domain generation and detection – nonlinear optics, this is considered a strong advantage. Very good verbal and written communications skills (in English) are required.
