Job description

New design methodology for future 2D materials based on physical and computational rationale

2D materials, built out of a single atomistic layer, are at the moment at the forefront of materials engineering research. They give us realistic chance to create the thinnest possible devices, with unique functional properties. The first material of this class, graphene, has already transformed our thinking about nano-electronics and that has led to a recent Nobel prize in physics. In this project we aim for a numerically optimized search for a new large scale allotropes of 2D materials.

The specific task of the MSc student will be to devise and 3D print Moiré structures in the large scale. Firstly, this will allow to visualize these atomistic structures at the macroscopic scales visible to a bare human eye. Moreover, secondly, there are further important applications of these macroscopic models: spectroscopic methods could potentially allow to measure local strains while viscosity measurements could allow to search for further interesting engineering applications in hydrodynamics. We are looking for a person with a keen interest to develop 3D printing methods that can be applied to model structures at the frontier of materials science.
