The Quantum Material Dynamics group (Prof.
Elsa Abreu, qmd.ethz.ch) in the Department of Physics of ETH Zürich has an open PhD position in THz dynamics of quantum materials.
Project background Quantum materials exhibit rich phase diagrams, strongly sensitive to external parameters, which include intriguing and technologically relevant properties.
Learning how to understand, modify and control these phases and their properties is at the heart of many current scientific endeavors, both experimental and theoretical.
The interesting macroscopic physics of these materials arises from complex interactions between microscopic degrees of freedom, which are challenging to identify and to decouple.
One approach that has proven successful in decoupling the effect of different degrees of freedom is to perform time-resolved measurements, which yield the non-equilibrium response of different components of the system following an ultrafast perturbation.
Job description The aim of this project is to investigate ultrafast dynamics of quantum materials, with a focus on the THz frequency range.
Our goal is to investigate the dynamical response of the system once it is brought out of equilibrium following excitation by an ultrashort pulse of optical or THz light.
The knowledge acquired from this study will enable a better control of the properties of quantum materials and will inform theory developments that seek to model ultrafast material responses.
This project will be based in Prof.
Elsa Abreu's Quantum Material Dynamics group at ETH Zürich, in the Institute for Quantum Electronics.
This PhD position is full time , with possible starting dates after January 2025 .
Profile Holds a Master's degree preferably in physics, alternatively in a related field
Has a background in condensed matter physics
Ideally has experience with time-resolved experiments
Must demonstrate proficiency in oral and written English
Must be enthusiastic, creative and self-motivated
We offer Through this project you will develop and improve:
Your experimental skills, for time-resolved measurements at low temperature
Your analytical skills, for data analysis and modeling
More broadly, this position will enable you to:
Be part of a diverse and dynamic team
Join discussions and collaborative efforts ranging from technical issues to full experiments or data analysis
Collaborate with experimental and theory groups, both in Switzerland and abroad
Connect to ETH students through attending and teaching courses
Define, jointly with the rest of the group, a work schedule that best fits your preferences and constraints
We value diversity In line with our values , ETH Zurich encourages an inclusive culture.
We promote equality of opportunity, value diversity and nurture a working and learning environment in which the rights and dignity of all our staff and students are respected.
