About this position
PhD opportunity at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore in Electrical Engineering / Electronic Engineering, with strong links to materials science, physics, and chemistry.
This funded PhD project focuses on CVD growth of isotopically engineered carbon-doped hBN single-photon emitters. The research aims to develop a new chemical vapour deposition route to wafer-scale, quantum-grade hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) for room-temperature single-photon emitters, which are important building blocks for quantum communication and integrated quantum photonics.
The student will work on growing single-crystal hBN on molten copper and copper-tin alloys, using atomically smooth surfaces to reduce grain boundaries. The project also includes 10B isotopic enrichment to sharpen emission and pulsed delta-doping to confine carbon defects to a single atomic plane. Characterisation will include Raman, photoluminescence, and single-photon (g²(0) < 0.1) measurements.
Eligibility highlights: candidates should have a strong background in Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Materials Science, Applied Physics, or Chemistry. Experience with thin-film growth, especially CVD of 2D materials, and cleanroom nanofabrication is ideal. Familiarity with Raman, photoluminescence, SEM, or AFM is an advantage.
Funding: the project is advertised as a funded PhD project for students worldwide. No stipend amount or tuition details are stated in the post.
Application: applications are accepted all year round. Interested candidates should register their interest via the FindAPhD project page and submit an enquiry through the platform. The university will respond directly.
Funding details
Full funding including tuition fees and living expenses is available for this position. The scholarship covers all educational costs and provides a monthly stipend.
How to apply
Please submit your application including a cover letter, CV, academic transcripts, and contact information for two references. Applications should be sent via the online portal before the deadline.
