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.
Theory of Boron Containing Semiconductor Alloys ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
The III-Materials and Devices, and Photonics Theory Groups at Tyndall National Institute in Cork, Ireland, have recently attracted major funding to understand and develop semiconductor optoelectronic devices using III-nitride semiconductors with boron containing alloys. This work requires detailed theoretical and experimental understanding of the fundamental properties of the material and their consequences for optoelectronic devices.
As part of this award, Tyndall and University College Cork are inviting now applications for a postdoctoral researcher focusing on the theory of boron III-N alloys and heterostructures. The researcher will initially carry out density functional theory based calculations, which will then form the basis for developing semi-empirical electronic structure (e.g. tight-binding or k.p) and carrier transport (e.g. modified drift-diffusion) models. 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. Both groups are well-established with significant teams, and who interact with others as part of a vibrant multi-investigator activity covering infrared to ultraviolet optoelectronic devices.
