Graduate research assistantship positions
Graduate research assistantship(s) are available to study the properties of 2D correlated electron materials using low temperature ultra-high vacuum scanning probe microscopy, transient optical spectroscopy and transient electron diffraction. Our laboratory is involved in synthesis and characterization of several layered transition metal dichalcogenides (2D materials beyond graphene) that exhibit interesting electronic properties (charge density waves, superconductivity, magnetism). We are interested in understanding fundamental properties of these systems (why these materials exhibit these peculiar properties) as well as in applying these novel properties into novel devices and sensors. Having at disposal high spatial resolution techniques (scanning probe microscopy) and high temporal resolution probes (on the order of 50 femtoseconds) we are in position to obtain complete picture of structural and electronic properties of these systems.
The research is supported by DOE and NSF grants. To learn more about the opportunities please contact Prof. Karapetrov.
