Offer Description
This position is available to candidates interested in pursuing a research and academic career at the University of Nova Gorica . We offer the opportunity to work in a dynamic environment supported by state-of-the-art research equipment and a strong involvement in international research.
Research activities will take place at theLaboratory of Quantum Optics .
Applications are welcomed for a post-doctoral position in experimental physics at the Laboratory of Quantum Optics, University of Nova Gorica (Slovenia). The focus of the research project is the investigation of static and dynamic properties of magnetically ordered systems utilizing laser-based magneto-optic effects, such as Kerr and Faraday. The research will delve into the realms of magnetism in diverse metal/semiconductor heterostructures and the impact of spin diffusion on ultra-fast magnetism phenomena.
Experimental activities will be conducted using a setup that generates high-order (XUV) harmonics of an infrared high-power laser, yielding short pulses in the tens-of-femtoseconds range. Such radiation can be precisely tuned at the M and N absorption edges of various transition metal and rare-earth compounds, enabling element-sensitive, time-resolved investigations of complex magnetic materials, in response to electronic and crystal excitations.
The project entails further development and characterization of the experimental setup, encompassing the generation of ultra-short (few-femtosecond and attosecond) XUV pulses, carrying both spin and orbital angular momenta.
