Descripción de la vacante

Institut Català De Nanociència I Nanotecnologia (ICN2) in Bellaterra (Barcelona) invites applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Thermal Properties of Nanoscale Materials group. The project GLASSPIKE focuses on vapor-deposited molecular glasses with programmable polarization for analog memory and spike-based computing.

You will work in a multidisciplinary environment combining thin-film growth, AFM/KPFM, and electrical characterization.

Formación

• PhD in Physics, Materials Science, Nanoscience, Physical Chemistry, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
• Peer-reviewed publications demonstrating KPFM (preferably quantitative FM-KPFM), ferroelectric/polarization phenomena, and molecular organic materials or organic thin films.
• Hands-on AFM/KPFM and electrical characterization experience.

Responsabilidades

• Grow and optimize vapor-deposited molecular-glass thin films.
• Characterize molecular orientation, polarization, and surface potential.
• Develop quantitative KPFM/FM-KPFM methods for polar films.
• Investigate voltage-driven polarization and depolarization.
• Generate programmable polarization states and study interfacial imprinting and stability.
• Analyze and publish results from thermally stimulated depolarization and related measurements.
