Job Overview
This PhD project focuses on the development of solution-derived metal-oxides, such as barium titanate or lithium niobate. Our goal is to characterize their nonlinear optical properties and design metasurfaces for exploring polycrystalline materials as quantum light sources.
The research involves several key areas:
* Exploring chemical synthesis routes for ternary metal-oxides.
* Combining these with nanopatterning methods like soft nanoimprint lithography.
* Utilizing standard nanofabrication processes, including lithography, etching, and electron microscopy.
We also aim to develop numerical simulations for metasurfaces and implement designs in chip fabrication. Furthermore, we will conduct linear, nonlinear, and quantum optical experiments.
To be successful in this role, you should be highly motivated and creative. A Master's degree in physics, nanotechnology, material science, photonics, or a related field is required. Additionally, you should be interested in working in an interdisciplinary environment at the interface of quantum photonics and material science.
