Job Description:

ZnO-based materials have important potential industrial and medical applications

due to their biocompatibility and biodegradability properties. The main goal of the

project is to perform a systematic study of the MgxZn1-xO alloys and quantum structures

in RS phase: this study will include their epitaxial growth, the experimental

determination of their fundamental physical properties (bandgap nature, energy

bandgaps, bandgap offsets, etc.), which will be supported by theoretical simulations of

their electronic and optical properties. In a second stage, we will exploit the grown

quantum structures for demonstrating oxide-based emitters at wavelengths smaller than

300nm. The main outcome of the project will be a set of new oxide materials, enabling

the fabrication of deep-UV emitting devices, and a proof-of-principle working device.

Requirements:

- Master’s degree in physics (or an equivalent that qualifies one for PhD studies in

physics in the country of issue).

- To be employed, the candidate must be accepted into the PhD school in which the

Institute of Physics participates. Applications for the position are through recruitment to

the School, online at warsaw4phd.eu
