Spin-Wave Generation in Quantum Materials

We are looking for a highly motivated PhD candidate to join the Quantum Spintronics (QuSpin) Lab in the Department of Quantum Nanoscience, TU Delft. The project is aimed at developing spintronic devices that operate based on magnons (spin-waves) in two-dimensional magnetic materials. The project involves exploration of various mechanisms for the generation and detection of magnons in quantum materials, involving electrical, thermal, and radio-frequency generation of spin signals. Your research will focus on understanding and controlling spin-waves at the nano-scale. Your main tasks will include: - Assembly of van der Waals magnets using dry-transfer techniques - Fabrication of spintronic nano-devices using state-of-the-art cleanroom facilities - Low-temperature transport measurements - Data analysis and modelling of the measurements - Close collaboration with other researchers within the department, and interaction with leading experimental groups within the Dutch quantum ecosystem - Attendance and presenting at national/international conferences - Note that this project is in direct collaboration with Japan; thus, the PhD candidate is expected to travel to Japan for consortium meetings and collaborations, for stays with a total duration of (at least) 42 weeks at the Japanese site. Travel costs will be covered. Please apply through this link: https://careers.tudelft.nl/job/Delft-PhD-Position-Spin-Wave-Generation-in-Quantum-Materials-2628-CD/1362760757/
