IMPLS Internship: Decode Perovskite Stability Dynamics

EURAXESS Czech Republic; Amsterdam; Hybrid; EUR 8,900 - 13,000; Full time

Job summary

AMOLF in Amsterdam conducts research on the physics of complex matter and energy materials. This internship focuses on the Intensity-Modulated Photoluminescence Spectroscopy (IMPLS) method to probe dynamic electronic and ionic behavior in perovskites, aiming to extract activation energies and insights into ion migration.

You will perform temperature-dependent IMPLS measurements across a wide frequency range and contribute to the development of IMPLS as a diagnostic tool for solar cell materials

Qualifications

• Currently enrolled in a Master’s program in physics, chemistry, materials science, or a related field.
• You have EU nationality and/or study at a Dutch university.
• The internship must be a mandatory part of your curriculum; availability of at least 5 months is required; longer is preferable.

Responsibilities

• Explore IMPLS to study perovskite solar cells.
• Perform temperature-dependent IMPLS measurements across a broad frequency range.
• Estimate activation energies for ion migration or trap-related processes.
• Contribute to establishing IMPLS as a diagnostic tool for underlying dynamic processes in perovskites.
