Research Fellow on low-dimensional spin dynamics

This post is funded by a new Leverhulme Trust grant on spin dynamics at the 2D limit in collaboration with Prof. John Morton’s quantum spin dynamics group at UCL. The postholder will exfoliate and transfer 2D van der Waals magnetic flakes on purpose-built superconducting resonators to achieve strong photon-magnon coupling (C. W. Zollitsch et al., Nature Comm. 14, 2619 (2023)), through which dynamical responses of the monolayer flakes are measured at cryogenic temperatures. We will perform spectral analysis of the hybrid states and extract the device and material parameters to develop a working model to explain magnetism at the 2D limit. The postholder will be strongly encouraged to take the lead in writing up manuscripts for journal publication as well as participating scientific conferences for dissemination.
