PhD - scholarship in Metamaterials
One 3 years PhD position for fabrication, characterization and modelling of negative refractive index materials (NIMS) is available at DTU Photonics - Department of Communications, Optics & Materials
Ansøgningsfrist: 15.02.2008
Starting in spring 2008
Metamaterials are new artificial materials that have the properties not yet encountered in nature (e.g. negative refraction, negative phase velocity). Using “classical” materials (metals and dielectrics) one can create a new class of composites whose properties are not simply the ones of the constituent materials, but much more different.
The main purpose of the project is to obtain isotropic metamaterials that exhibit, for IR and/or visible light, negative refraction. Such materials can be used to various applications like creating lens with resolution below diffraction limit, efficient “micro-world” and “nano-world” couplers or even invisibility cloaks.
In order to fabricate these materials, a great deal of the PhD work will take place in DTU’s cleanroom equipped with the state-of-the-art facilities.
The PhD student to be enrolled in this project has to have a good understanding of optical phenomena and photon-matter interaction. Willingness to work in the cleanroom and simulate (using mainly a commercial software but also a home-made one) such structure is also essential for this challenging work.
The candidate should have a master’s degree in optics, electrical engineering or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to the master’s degree in engineering. In addition basic chemistry knowledge (solution mixing and chemical handling) is an advantage.
A scholarship for the PhD degree is subject to academic approval, and the candidate will be enrolled in the Electronics and Communication degree programme of DTU. General information about the PhD studies at DTU and the requirements for enrolment may be obtained from the DTU website (http://www.dtu.dk/English/Research/PhD_programme.aspx) or from the PhD programme office at tel: +45 4525 1176 or +45 4525 1177.
The salary and appointment terms are consistent with the current rules for PhD degree students.
Please send your application in triplicate, including CV and M.Sc. certificate with grades, to:
