Excitonic recombination processes

Excitonic recombination processes in group-III-nitride nanostructures

The "Applied Semiconductor Physics" group at the Institute of Applied Physics at TU Braunschweig conducts application-oriented basic research on semiconductor nanostructures. In particular, we are fascinated by light produced with such semiconductor structures.

For a project funded by the German Science Foundation we are looking for

a PhD candidate in Physics (m/f/d)

The position is limited to 36 months for now. The compensation is according to E13 TVL (75%).

The tasks include to investigate the effects of the formation of excitons, especially in III-nitride quantum wells, on
both radiative and non-radiative recombination processes. Systematic investigations of the recombination kinetics as a function of charge carrier density and temperature are to be carried out experimentally in order to clarify the influence of the electron-hole interaction for both radiative and non-radiative processes.

For this purpose, the main tool will be a femtosecond laser system in the new research center LENA. More information is available on the website of the Institute (www.iap.tu-bs.de) or from Prof. Dr. A. Hangleiter at extension +49 531 391 8501 or via email at a.hangleiter@tu-bs.de.

Requirements are a very good university degree in physics (diploma or master) or related subjects with relevant experimental experience in optical spectroscopy and knowledge in at least one of the fields of semiconductor physics, semiconductor technology, as well optical characterization. Team play and good English language skills are desirable.

Handicapped applicants will be preferred if equally qualified. Evidence must be enclosed. Applications from people of all nationalities are welcome.

TU Braunschweig strives in all areas and positions, to reduce an underrepresentation of women. Therefore, applications from women are especially welcome.
Application costs can not be refunded. Please understand that applications will be returned only if a self-addressed stamped envelope is provided. During the application process, personal data will be stored electronically.

Please send your application exclusively by email until 28.02.2021 to
