Job Description
Thesis Subject
The PhD project aims to develop and implement a photoluminescence excitation (PLE) spectroscopy setup on a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) operating under ultra-high vacuum and at low temperature (5 K). The objective is to investigate electronic and vibronic relaxation mechanisms in organic nanostructures such as individual molecules and graphene nanoribbons. The optical properties of these systems will be studied with unprecedented spatial (sub-nanometer) and spectral (micro-electronvolt) resolution.
Your Work Environment
The PhD candidate will join the STM group, which investigates the electronic, optical, and magnetic properties of atomic-scale structures at the IPCMS (Institut de Physique et Chimie des Matériaux de Strasbourg). The project will be carried out under the supervision of Guillaume Schull as part of the ERC Aether project, which is dedicated to the study of the photo-induced properties of organic structures at the smallest spatial scales.
The student will be enrolled in the Doctoral School of Physics and Physical Chemistry (ED182) at Université de Strasbourg. A university cafeteria is located approximately 30 meters from the laboratory. The laboratory, situated on the Cronenbourg campus, is about a 10-minute bus ride from Strasbourg railway station.
Constraints and risks
Apart from conference attendance, no travel is expected. There are no on-call duties; however, some experiments may occasionally need to be conducted outside normal working hours, including in the evening and/or during weekends.. The main identified risks are related to the use of cryogenic liquids and optical sources. Appropriate safety training will be provided to the successful candidate before commencing experimental work.
