Internship: Probe Pressure-Driven Band Bowing in Perovskites

FOM Institute AMOLF; Amsterdam; Hybrid; EUR 11,000 - 17,000; Full time

Job summary

AMOLF is hosting an internship to explore pressure-dependent band-bowing in tin-lead perovskites. You will learn to synthesize perovskites via spin coating, perform structural analyses with X-ray diffraction, and assess stability under different conditions.

The project aims to reveal how pressure shifts band gaps and affects material performance. The trainee will be embedded in AMOLF's Hybrid Solar Cell Group at Amsterdam Science Park, supporting experiments and data analysis as part of a

Qualifications

• Enrollment in a Master’s program in physics, chemistry, or materials science; must be part of curriculum.
• EU nationality or student at a Dutch university; internship must be in curriculum and available for at least 5 months.
• Interest in perovskites and energy materials; motivation to contribute to understanding bandbowing.

Responsibilities

• Study how pressure affects band-bowing in tin–lead perovskites.
• Synthesize perovskites using spin coating.
• Perform structural characterization using X-ray diffraction and stability testing.
• Carry out pressure-dependent band-gap measurements.
