PhD scholarship in Thiophosphate Thin Films for Quantum Technology
3 months ago
Do you want to be the first person to develop an entirely new class of materials for quantum technology? Then you have come to the right place. Your mission will be to synthesize metal thiophosphate thin films using vacuum-based techniques and evaluate their applicability as new building blocks for quantum technology. Thiophosphates are a family of materials composed of phosphorus, sulfur, and one or more metals. They have been previously studied as bulk crystals but are still virtually unexplored as thin films. Because quantum technology requires chip-based miniaturized devices, thin film synthesis of the targeted materials is a requirement for their real-world application. Many thiophosphate compounds exhibit large nonlinear optical responses due to their unique crystal structures. This feature is of particular interest for long-distance communication of quantum information, because high optical nonlinearity allows materials to efficiently convert light from one frequency to another. At DTU Nanolab, we have a world-unique suite of thin-film deposition and processing setups heavily customized for the inclusion of the "difficult" elements phosphorus and sulfur. The deposition setups are glovebox-integrated and compatible with high-throughput deposition of combinatorial thin-film libraries with different elemental composition in one process run. At DTU Electro, we have unique capabilities for characterizing nonlinear optical properties of thin-film samples. All experimental results (positive and negative) can be fed into a common database to ensure public availability and machine readability of the data.
Responsibilities and qualifications
You will apply combinatorial methods to synthesize and characterize new metal thiophosphate thin films with potential applications in quantum communication. You will be supervised by Associate Prof. Andrea Crovetto (DTU Nanolab) for thin-film deposition and for characterization of compositional and structural properties. You will work closely with other PhD students and postdocs developing thin-film materials for other optoelectronic applications. You will characterize the non-linear optical properties of the most promising films – and therefore their applicability for quantum communication – under the supervision of Associate Prof. Sanshui Xiao (DTU Electro). It is very important that you are willing to work and coordinate activities with these other researchers as a team.
Your primary tasks will be to:
Characterize compositional and structural properties of the thin-film combinatorial libraries using automated mapping techniques including XRD, EDX, XPS, UPS, and Raman spectroscopy.
Write scripts for semi-automatic handling and analysis of combinatorial data, as well as interfacing to the database
Characterize non-linear optical properties of the most promising thin films, including second harmonic generation efficiency and nonlinear spin-orbit coupling
Evaluate the potential for micro-structuring the most promising material identified in this project with an external stay in a research group specialized in dry etching of sulfides.
Exchange and analyze your ideas and data with other team members
Supervise BSc and MSc student projects that are relevant to your research
We expect the following from you:
Some experience with vacuum-based thin-film deposition
Some experience with characterization techniques and analysis for thin-film materials (see examples in list above)
Some experience with coding (preferably python)
Ability to work both individually and as part of a team
You must have a two-year master's degree (120 ECTS points) or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to a two-year master's degree.
Approval and Enrolment
The scholarship for the PhD degree is subject to academic approval, and the candidate will be enrolled in one of the general degree programmes at DTU. For information about our enrolment requirements and the general planning of the PhD study programme, please see DTU's rules for the PhD education
.
Assessment
The assessment of the applicants will be made by Associate Professors Andrea Crovetto (DTU Nanolab) and Sanshui Xiao (DTU Electro).
We offer
DTU is a leading technical university globally recognized for the excellence of its research, education, innovation and scientific advice. We offer a rewarding and challenging job in an international environment. We strive for academic excellence in an environment characterized by collegial respect and academic freedom tempered by responsibility.
Salary and appointment terms
The appointment will be based on the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations. The allowance will be agreed upon with the relevant union. The period of employment is 3 years.
The tentative start date is December 1st, 2024
(earlier or later dates are possible upon mutual agreement). The position is a full-time position.
