Descripción del empleo

Overview

Altermagnets are redefining the basic classification of magnetic materials and studying them is fundamentally important because they enable new approaches to designing spintronic devices that use spin polarization without producing stray fields, thus merging the benefits of both ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic systems. In addition, altermagnets provide a novel platform for investigating symmetry-protected electronic states, with promising applications in quantum technologies and energy-efficient information processing.

The candidate will work on the characterization and integration of altermagnetic materials in spintronic devices, in order to exploit their alternating spin splitting, leading to unique spin transport properties.

Responsibilities

• Characterization of altermagnetic thin films
• Patterning into devices using advanced techniques such as e-beam lithography
• Electrical characterization of devices
• Work on the integration of altermagnetic materials in spintronic devices to exploit their properties

Qualifications

• PhD in Physics or a similar field
• Experience in nanofabrication (e-beam lithography, materials growth and characterization, etching)
• Electrical transport measurements
• Previous knowledge in magnetism, electronics and/or spintronics
• Proficiency in spoken and written English

Desirable

• Previous track record in publications at the highest level
• Self-motivated and a team player willing to coordinate research on a particular topic

Offer and Environment

We offer an international and competitive environment, state-of-the-art equipment, and the possibility to perform research at the highest level. We promote teamwork in a diverse and inclusive environment and welcome all kinds of applicants regardless of age, disability, gender, nationality, race, religion, or sexual orientation.
