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

About the Role

We are seeking a highly talented and self-motivated researcher to join our team at DTU - Technical University of Denmark. The successful candidate will work on engineering large-area oxide thin-film materials on silicon and characterizing their electromechanical energy conversion properties.

Project Overview

The project focuses on discovering new piezoelectric oxide thin-film materials compatible with existing silicon technology. We aim to provide new directions for developing lead-free and Si-based CMOS technology compatible piezoelectric materials by engineering functional defects in centrosymmetric oxide thin-film materials.

Main Objectives

  • 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.

Responsibilities and Qualifications

The successful candidate will be responsible for growing functional oxide thin films, fabricating devices, and performing electromechanical measurements. To achieve this, the candidate should have:

  • Experience working with oxide thin film materials, particularly ferroic materials.

  • Deep knowledge of solid-state physics or materials science.

  • Experience with sputtering or PLD of complex oxide thin films and heterostructures.

  • Experience with ionic transport, dielectric, and electromechanical measurement skills.

  • Experience with piezoelectric force microscopy (conductive AFM).

  • Excellent programming skills for variable temperature and electrical measurements.

Benefits and Terms of Employment

DTU offers a rewarding and challenging job in an international environment. As a postdoctoral research fellow, you will have the opportunity to work on cutting-edge research projects, collaborate with experienced researchers, and contribute to the development of new technologies. You will also receive a competitive salary and benefits package.
