Subject: PhD student position Optoelectronic Properties of Quantum Dot Solids

PhD student position available in Delft The Netherlands

Project title: Optoelectronic Properties of Quantum Dot Solids

A position is available for a PhD student to study new functional metamaterials based on
semiconductor quantum dots. The combination of quantum dots with different size or
composition leads to optoelectronic properties  that are of great promise for application in
e.g. solar cells, transistors, catalysis, labeling and bio-medical testing. The project is part
of a collaborative research program with the University of Utrecht and the Kavli Institute
for Nanoscience in Delft.
The project focuses on fundamental studies of electronic excited states (excitons) and
charge carriers in thin films consisting of a combination of self-organizing quantum dots,
such as CdSe, CdTe, PbSe, PbS, InAs. You will study the dynamics of excitons and charge
carriers with femtosecond and nanosecond pump-probe laser techniques, including
microwave and terahertz conductivity measurements. In addition high-energy electron
pulses can be used to specifically generate charges. The aim is to provide fundamental
insights into the effects of material composition on exciton and charge dynamics. You will
study to which extent charge generation by photon absorption can be optimized.
Particular attention will be paid to charge generation in donor-acceptor systems. The
mechanism of motion of excitons and charges from one quantum dot to another will be
characterized.
