A new group (Epitaxy and Physics of Nanostructures) was established in January 2007 at Tyndall National Institute (http://www.tyndall.ie) under an SFI (http://www.sfi.ie/home/index.asp) Principal Investigator grant. The group is led by Dr. E. Pelucchi. The research concentrates on the epitaxy, optical properties and spectroscopy of site controlled Pyramidal (Al)InGaAs quantum dots and wires and on their extension to telecommunication wavelengths, while important results have been readily achieved (for example with record material purity performances, or the development of new InGaAsN dots).
This novel approach to site controlled quantum wires and dots (QD) growth has been pioneered by Dr Pelucchi in EPFL, using MOVPE growth on a pre-patterned substrate to achieve reproducible QD emission spectra with, for example, the lowest inhomogeneous broadening for a QD epitaxial field. The high level of growth control makes such
nanostructures ideal candidates for studies and devices related to quantum communication/information processing (efficient single photon emission being a good example), enabling the achievement of "atom-like" energy states whose energy and electronic wavefunction can be engineered at the nanoscale level by acting on a few parameters, so that the dots can, in principle, be individually and unambiguously (optically and electrically) addressed and controlled. Specifically, one of the main activities of the group will concentrate on the development of electrically controlled nanostructures.
Two PhD positions are open. The first one will concentrate on the epitaxial growth and device processing, while the second one will be devoted to the low temperature (10K) optical characterization and the photon correlation set-up.
We welcome applications from talented candidates with strong motivation and experimental skills. Please email or send (max 500 kB) a CV with the address of at least one reference to: Dr. Emanuele Pelucchi, SFI Principal Investigator - Tyndall National Institute, Lee Maltings, Cork, Ireland at emanuele.pelucchi@tyndall.ie
To apply, please submit your application and CV to careers@tyndall.iequoting the reference number.
At this time, Tyndall National Institute does not require the assistance of recruitment agencies.
