The Centre NanoSYD at The Mads Clausen Institute invites applications for a 3-year PhD scholarship in the field of organic thin-film devices for photodetector applications. The position is located in Sønderborg, and the starting date is 1st of September 2021 or as soon as possible thereafter.
About the project
About the project
The research focus of the PhD project is to develop photodetectors based on a graphene-organic semiconductor heterostructure. It will be a primarily experimental project that focuses on investigations of how the organic thin-film microstructure can be optimized for improved photodetector device performance. The project includes thin-film deposition and characterization experiments as well as device fabrication and testing.
