丹麦：纳米技术博士后机会
[color=Blue]1 Postdoctoral and 1 PhD position available in nanoengineered graphene devices at the Technical University of Denmark.[/color]
In the framework of a national project entitled “Nanoengineered Graphene Devices” and funded by The Danish Research Council for Technology and Production Sciences, we seek researchers with documented expertise in micro- and nanofabrication, transmission electron microscopy, focused ion beam milling/lithography and electrical/structural/optical characterisation of nanoscale devices, in particular carbon materials. The aim of the project is to develop routes to engineering the electrical properties of graphene towards device applications using advanced, state-of-the-art processing and characterisation technology.
One Postdoctoral and one PhD position are available in the Nanointegration Group at DTU Nanotech, Tech. Univ. of Denmark. Candidates with a master degree (for the PhD position) or a PhD degree (for the Postdoc position) or equivalent in physics or engineering are invited to apply for a three year PhD position or a two year post-doc position, respectively.
The PhD position is available from September 1, 2008. The workplan has the following elements:
* Modification of graphene using (i) focused ion beam milling, (ii) electron beam induced etching, and/or (iii) electron beam nanolithography
* Microfabrication of TEM-compatible chips for the simultaneous structural and electrical characterisation, and integration of graphene.
* Demonstration of transistor (electrical gating) and sensor (chemical gating) functions with nanoengineered graphene.
The PhD student will be enrolled in one of the general degree programmes at DTU. More information on terms of study and employment may be found at [url]http://www.dtu.dk/English/Research/PhD_programme.aspx[/url]
The salary and appointment terms are consistent with the current rules for PhD degree students.
The post-doc position is available from January 1, 2009. The workplan has the following elements:
* Correlation of measured electronic properties with nanopatterning and subsequent treatments (annealing, passivation) and comparisons with theory.
* Correlation of electronic properties with spatial and chemical characteristics of adatoms, investigated using atom-level, in situ TEM, and comparisons with theory.
* Measurements on demonstrator (sensor, transistor) devices and comparisons with theory.
* Optical measurements of band gaps and excitons.
In the assessment of candidates, consideration will be given to:
* Experience in the design and fabrication of microsystems and practical clean room work (PhD)
* Experience in advanced nanolithography (electron beam lithography, ion beam milling) (PhD)
* Experience in micro or nanomanipulation, and characterisation of nanostructures (PhD)
* Transmission electron microscopy and analysis (TEM, STEM) (PD)
* Experience in the optical characterisation of electronic properties (PD)
* Electrical and structural characterisation of nanoscale devices (both)
* Experience in project- and team work in an international environment (both)
* An open independent working style and good communication skills (both)
according to the individual workplans for the two positions.
The salary and appointment terms are consistent with the current collective agreements for Danish University faculty members.

[b]About the research group[/b]
The Nanointegration group at DTU Nanotech develops methods to integrate nanostructures with microsystems. We consider nanostructures with the potential to be used as mechanical and electrical components, such as carbon nanotubes, inorganic nanowires, self-assembled organic nanowires and molecules. Among others, we develop advanced probes and nano-grippers for nanomanipulation and mechanical/electrical/structural characterisation, to ultimately test, prototype and fabricate systems based on nanocomponents. The work will however be in close collaboration with researchers from the theory group at DTU Nanotech, as well as DTU CEN (see below) and iNANO (Ålborg University).
[b]About the involved institutes[/b]
DTU Nanotech – department of Micro and Nanotechnology at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) is bridging the gap between state-of-the-art research and real-life applications of micro and nanotechnology, using our 1100 m2 cleanroom facility equipped with all standard silicon processing equipment as well as a JEOL JBX9300FS e-beam writer.
DTU CEN – Center for Electron Nanoscopy, newly opened center at DTU, is hosting the most powerful collection of electron microscopes ever made available at an academic institution, including two unique FEI Titan TEMs with 0.6 Å resolution, spherical aberration correction, monochromation and environmental cell.
