Postdoc: Band structure engineering of graphene by supramolecular network

The objective of this project is the development of hybrid organic/inorganic a supramolecular network of zwitterionic molecules deposited on graphene. The candidate will simulate the networks of polar molecules on graphene and will investigate how these networks impact the band structure and anomalous transport properties. This work will involve both first principles calculations and quantum transport simulations. Collaboration with experimental groups at CINaM is expected.
