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

The Department of Energy Conversion and Storage at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) is seeking a highly skilled postdoctoral researcher to contribute to the development of functional oxide thin films for next-generation piezoelectric materials. The successful candidate will work on engineering large-area oxide thin-film materials on silicon and characterizing their electromechanical energy conversion properties.

Key Responsibilities
  • Establish optimal deposition conditions of highly textured oxide films on Si using wafer-scale sputtering and pulsed laser deposition (PLD).
  • Engineer new piezoelectric oxide thin films by controlling ionic defects.
  • Investigate emergent piezoelectric effects in large-area CGO films on silicon.

The research fellow will be responsible for growing functional oxide thin films, fabricating devices, and performing electromechanical measurements. The focus will be on defect-mediated symmetry breaking in oxide films on silicon wafers using sputtering and PLD systems at DTU Energy. The films will undergo advanced characterization to optimize their properties.

Required Skills and Qualifications
  • PhD degree in materials science or solid-state physics-related discipline.
  • Experience working with oxide thin film materials, particularly with ferroic materials.
  • Deep knowledge of solid-state physics or materials science.
  • Experience with sputtering or PLD of complex oxide thin films and heterostructures.
  • Excellent programming skills for variable temperature and electrical measurements.
