Overview
The Theory of Quantum Nanostructures RG is dedicated to Curiosity Drive Research on electronic, magnetic and light-matter interaction of Quantum Nanostructures, with special emphasis on the quantum properties of two-dimensional systems. We are looking for a qualified research fellow with previous training on theoretical condensed matter physics and theoretical nano-optics, with special emphasis on light-matter interaction in excitons, and exciton-polaritons in low-dimensional systems, to join our team under the Adaptation Pathfinder Project funded by the European Commission, with the code 101129661.
Job Duties
The job duties will be the following:
- Detailed review of recent literature on excitons in J-aggregates films;
- Formulation of the problem of exciton dynamics in second quantisation;
- Quantum description of the optical response of J-aggregates thin films due to exciton formation;
- Clarification of the nature of the excitons in J-aggregates films on which concerns their Frenkel or Wannier nature;
- Application of the Hopfield method for the description of exciton-polaritons in J-aggregates;
- Theoretical light-matter interaction description of heterostructures and cavities composed of J-aggregates films;
- Theoretical study of excitons in composite structures made of J-aggregates films and nano-particles;
- Theoretical description of energy transfer between idealised two-level systems in the presence of J-aggregates films;
- Participate in outreach activities;
- Disseminate scientific results in international scientific events.
Mandatory Qualifications
Education
- PhD degree in Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics, Theoretical Nano-Optics, Physics or Physics Engineering.
Experience
- Light-matter interactions in low dimensional systems;
