Ph.D. student in theoretical condensed matter ph ... (No replies)
The condensed-matter group (http://lnu.se/cmp) in the Department of Physics and
Electrical Engineering at Linnaeus University (www.lnu.se ) invites applications for
a Ph.D. student in theoretical condensed matter physics . The successful applicant
will work in a very active research environment, with a long tradition of national and
international collaborations in front edge areas of condensed matter physics/nanophysics,
such as nanomagnetism and nanospintronics, molecular electronics, quantum
computation, strongly correlated electron systems and topological phases of matter.
The department of physics and electrical engineering at Linnaeus University has about
25 employees . Linnaeus University has an international profile , and several programs
and courses in physics are taught in English both at the undergraduate and at the graduate
level.
Job description
The research area of the Ph.D. position deals with theoretical studies of Dirac’s materials
such as topological insulators and graphene. Possible project s include: spintronics at the
atomic scale in magnetically -doped topological insulator surfaces; electronic, thermal and
spin transport in topological insulator nanostructures such as nanowires and nanoribbons;
quantum Hall effects; time dependent spin dynamics. The projects will involve both analytical
investigation s of quantum mechanical models, and the development and the use of advanced
computational methods (based both on atomistic tight-binding models and first-principles
approaches) to address realist ic properties of these quantum materials. The research will
be carried out partly in close collaboration with experimental groups investigating the physical
systems studied theoretically.
The application
The application should be submitted electronically using the link found at
https://lnu.se/en/meet-linnaeus-university/work-at-the-university/ -- Ph.D. Student in
theoretical condensed matter physics/nanophysics, no later than the 27 August 2016.
