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.

The Photonics Theory Group, III-Materials and Devices Group and Nanoelectronic Materials and Devices Group at the Tyndall National Institute together with the University of Glasgow, UK, have recently attracted major funding to evaluate the potential of high aluminium-content AlxGa1-xN (0.5 < x < 1) alloys as an active, ultrawide bandgap semiconductor for robust, high power and high frequency electronic applications. This work requires detailed theoretical and experimental understanding of the fundamental properties of the material and their consequences for electronic devices.
As part of this award, Tyndall and University College Cork are inviting now applications for a researcher focusing on the theory of carrier transport in aluminium rich semiconductor alloys and heterostructures. The researcher is expected to develop and implement theoretical methods which operate and connect different length scales (multi-scale simulations). To achieve this semi-empirical electronic structure (e.g. tight-binding, k.p and localization landscape) methods and carrier transport (e.g. modified drift-diffusion) models will be employed. The theoretical studies will go hand in hand with the experimental investigations carried out in the project to ensure the overall success of the project. The groups involved are well-established with significant teams, and who interact with others as part of a vibrant multi-investigator activity covering high power RF device applications.
