The Fritz-Haber-Institute (FHI) in Berlin-Dahlem is one of the most renowned institutes within the Max Planck Society (MPG), Germany's organization for basic research. At the FHI, scientists from all over the world are engaged in fundamental studies in the field of chemical physics at interfaces and surfaces, catalysis research and molecular physics.
The Emmy Noether research group Dynamics of Correlated Materials at the Fritz Haber Institute is offering a PhD position in experimental condensed matter physics. Our group investigates the ultrafast dynamical processes in strongly correlated and low-dimensional systems, in order to understand the microscopic interactions governing their fascinating physics. The Fritz Haber Institute and the Department of Physical Chemistry offer an excellent and interdisciplinary environment for top-of-the-line research. The group operates a world-leading high-repetition rate extreme ultraviolet (XUV) time- and angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (trARPES) setup including a momentum microscope and performs time-resolved x-ray experiments at large scale research facilities.
We offer an open PhD position (m/f/d) Ultrafast electron dynamics of 2-dimensional van-der-Waals ferromagnets
Topics of the research
This research will be embedded within the collaborative research center CRC/TRR227 Ultrafast Spin Dynamics, which starts now into its 2nd funding period. The offered position concentrates on the femtosecond dynamics in 2-dimensional van-der-Waals ferromagnets and their heterostructures. The successful candidate will investigate the ultrafast dynamics of their electronic structure mainly using trARPES, and study the response of their band structure to ultrafast magnetization changes. Additionally, the interaction of spin-polarized currents with the spin/valley polarized band structure of transition-metal dichalcogenides will be studied. The PhD position is offered for a duration of three years.
Your profile
Applicants should hold a master’s degree or equivalent in physical sciences and should have a strong background and interest in at least one of the following areas:
