Missions
The recruited researcher will be responsible for developing a confocal optical microscopy setup operating at low temperature (4 K) to study the properties of point defects in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN). The objective is to use these defects as two-dimensional quantum sensors by recording variations in their magnetic resonance frequency induced by external perturbations such as magnetic or electric fields. Once the experimental setup has been established, the work will focus on characterizing the sensor's performance, with particular emphasis on measuring the coherence time of the electronic spin state of the defect.
Activités
- Development of a new experimental setup operating at cryogenic temperature;
- Optically detected magnetic resonance spectroscopy ;
- Supervision and training of interns ;
- Writing of reports and scientific publications.
Compétences
- PhD in condensed matter physics with a solid foundation in quantum physics and quantum technologies.
- Experience in spin spectroscopy and characterization of point defects in semiconductors.
- Skilled in optical detection of magnetic resonance techniques.
- Excellent command of English, both written and spoken.
- Strong interpersonal and teamwork skills.
Contexte de travail
This project will take place within the “Solid-State Quantum Technologies” (S2QT) team at the Laboratoire Charles Coulomb (L2C, UMR5221) in Montpellier. This postdoctoral position is funded by the ANR QFOIL project (ANR-23-QUAC-0003).
The position falls within an area subject to the protection of scientific and technical potential (PPST) and therefore, in accordance with regulations, requires approval from the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research (MESR).
