Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.
In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.
4-year PhD studenship on computational optoelect ... (No replies)

The AtomEliX group at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid led by Prof. Juan José Palacios
(https://sites.google.com/site/palaciosjuanjose/home) offers a 4-year PhD position (FPI) associated
with the project Non-centrosymmetric materials for photovoltaics and spintronics, recently granted by Spanish AEI, to work on theory and computation of two-dimensional (2D) materials. Spatial symmetries have always been at the heart of our understanding of the response of materials to external stimuli; in other words, of the interconversion of physical magnitudes such as electromagnetic radiation, current, magnetization, heat, etc. One symmetry operation that stands out among all possible ones is inversion. Non-centrosymmetric materials, where inversion symmetry is absent, present unique optoelectronic and spintronic properties not shared by centrosymmetric ones. We aim at understanding the non-linear DC and AC electromagnetic response of these materials with emphasis on photovoltaic and spintronics applications.
We look for motivated students genuinely interested in Condensed Matter Physics theory, computer simulations, and mathematics, aiming to engage in cutting-edge research. The selected candidate may enjoy a temporary contract starting as early as October 2023, which will be effective until the PhD position officially starts.
