About this position
This research opportunity at the DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory focuses on nanoscale materials and devices with an emphasis on the growth, synthesis, metrology, functional property evaluation, and device concepts of semiconductor and metallic quantum dots, nanotubes, two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials, and their heterostructures.
The project spans a broad experimental toolkit for creating and studying advanced nanomaterials. Candidate work may involve wet chemistry, bio-templated growth, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), electron-beam evaporation, and sputtering deposition to engineer materials for electronics, photonics, and magnetics applications.
Characterization is a major component of the research environment, using high-resolution and surface-sensitive tools such as HR-TEM, SAED, EDS, UHV-AFM, STM, X-ray crystallography, Raman spectroscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy, and photoluminescence measurements.
The project also explores key physical phenomena including electrical and thermal transport, electron tunneling, spin-aligned electron transport, Hall and magneto-optical effects, nonlinear optical responses, and plasmon/polariton-assisted strong light-matter coupling. These studies are connected to device-level implementation through E-beam and focused-ion beam lithography, wet and dry etching, and laser-assisted nano-structuring, with device performance assessed from room temperature down to cryogenic conditions using four-probe measurements, STM, VSM, PPMS, and magneto-optic Kerr effect setups.
The advertised advisors are Govind Mallick and Shashi Karna at ARL.
