PhD studentship (start date 01 October 2011) School of Physics, University of Exeter, UK
Our research group studies quantum phenomena in nanostructures and nanomaterials using optics, i.e. lasers, and magnetotransport.
Optical investigations of graphene
Graphene (a single layer of graphite) is a new two-dimensional system (Its discovery won the 2010 Nobel physics prize.) which is now attracting enormous attention because of its intriguing properties and potential applications in carbon-based electronics. It is a zero-gap semiconductor and its charge carriers have zero effective mass and therefore move relativistically. This makes the study of relativistic quantum mechanics, normally a rather exotic activity, potentially accessible using the experimental techniques available in our laboratory.
We plan to study graphene using Raman spectroscopy. This experimental technique has been shown to be an important tool in studies of single and multilayer graphene: it is sensitive to the details of the crystal structure, defects, doping and evolution of the material under chemical treatment. As well as providing a valuable non-invasive method to distinguish monolayer graphene from bilayers and multilayers, in Exeter we will study the Raman spectrum as a function of the temperature using a wide variety of lasers, ranging in wavelength from 325 nm to 785 nm. We expect the intensity and position of the various Raman peaks in the spectrum to be sensitive to the sample temperature and the incoming photon energy.
Prospective candidates, who have a very good Bachelor or Master's Degree in physics (or equivalent) and excellent references, should send a short CV to Dr. Annette Plaut (A.S.Plaut@exeter.ac.uk).
Application deadline 28 February 2010.

Вакансию запостил мой брат, защитивший PhD в Англии. Очень интересная вакансия для тех, кто видит себя дальше в науке. Я не очень разбираюсь в том, какие преимущества для обучения дальше физики, но могу заверить, социальные условия прекрасные.

почему такой темы не было у меня на диплом... правда лазеры у меня были YaG:Nd 1,06 мкм и на красителе 0,6 мкм.

Спускаешься такой по лестнице, а она социальная... |
