Missions
The successful candidate will join the “low dimensional systems and quantum transport group” at LNCMI-G (B.A. Piot), focusing on the experimental study of low dimensional electronic systems. He/She will study graphene-based systems, exhibiting unique even-denominator fractional quantum Hall states thought to host excitations that have non-abelian quantum statistics, making them promising candidates for the implementation of topological quantum computation. Historically studied only in the cleanest ultra-high mobility GaAs MBE-grown quantum wells, recent reports of particularly robust even-denominator states in bilayer graphene now promote graphene-based systems as a privileged platform to identify, study, and stabilize these new states of matter.
Activities
His or her main task will be to perform transport and magnetic resonances experiments on state-of-the art graphene or bilayer graphene samples down to very low temperatures (~ 10 mK) and under magnetic fields up to 36T.
Skills
Candidates should hold a Ph.D. in experimental condensed matter Physics. A very good technical background in low temperature experiments, and in particular an experience with “wet” dilution refrigerators, is crucial. Previous experience with 2D materials, transport experiments and magnetic resonances would be appreciated.
Work Context
LNCMI-G, CNRS-Grenoble, France), is a French large-scale facility enabling researchers to perform experiments in the highest possible continuous magnetic fields.
