The Hybrid Materials for OptoElectronics (HMOE) group is looking for a PhD researcher to develop the novel plasmonic molecular materials for opto-electronic computing. To realise non-von Neumann neuromorphic computation, development of opto-electronics based on organic molecular materials is promising, due to their low switching energies and high flexibilities compared to the conventional silicon-based circuits. The aim of the project is to develop fundamental understanding of charge transport and light-matter interactions involved in the molecular materials, which can then be tailored to emulate brain-like computation.
The PhD researcher will fabricate opto-electronics based on molecular tunnelling junctions consisting of tuneable organic molecules and thin films of flexible materials, perform electrical measurements, build optics to realise imaging and spectroscopy of the junctions, and analyse the electrical and optical responses of the system. This will eventually enable the evolution of molecular tunnelling junctions to be photonically active devices, which opens prospects for the innovative optical computing.
The project will be carried out in a multidisciplinary research programme. You will be part of the HMOE group (Department of Molecules & Materials, Faculty of Science & Technology), working closely with the leading theoretical and experimental groups worldwide, and backed by MESA+ Institute for Nanotechnology, the largest research institute of the UT.
