Kongens Lyngby, Lyngby-Tårbæk Kommune, Denmark DTU - Technical University of Denmark Full time

As part of the recently funded national Villum project, SYMTEC, we are looking for a talented postdoctoral researcher to join our team at the Department of Energy Conversion and Storage at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). The project focuses on discovering new piezoelectric oxide thin-film materials compatible with existing silicon technology.

About the Project

The SYMTEC project aims to provide new directions for developing lead-free piezoelectric materials that are compatible with Si-based CMOS technology. This will be achieved by engineering functional defects in centrosymmetric oxide thin-film materials, expanding the range of available piezoelectric materials and opening new areas of research.

Responsibilities and Qualifications
  • Grow functional oxide thin films using wafer-scale sputtering and PLD.
  • Characterize the electromechanical energy conversion properties of the films.
  • Develop new piezoelectric oxide thin films by controlling ionic defects.

The successful candidate will have a strong background in materials science and experience with sputtering or PLD of complex oxide thin films and heterostructures. Excellent programming skills for variable temperature and electrical measurements are also required.
