About this position

PhD opportunity in Quantum Control of Emission in Valleytronic Materials at Aarhus University, Department of Physics and Astronomy, in the new group of Christian Frydendahl.

The project focuses on how monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) can be used to create electrically driven sources of circularly polarized light. The research explores the Valley Hall effect and valley occupation control to develop a new light-emitting diode geometry for electrically excited circularly polarized emission.

You will work with 2D materials, nanofabrication, and optoelectronic characterization. Planned activities include van der Waals stacking of hBN-encapsulated TMDC monolayers, device fabrication using EBL, RIE, and metal deposition, and polarization- and time-resolved spectroscopy at room and cryogenic temperatures.

The project also includes a planned six-month research stay at the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), where you will develop nanophotonic cavities for integration with the diode design.

Start date: February 2027. Application deadline: 2026-11-01.

Ideal for candidates interested in physics, materials science, electrical engineering, nanophotonics, and optoelectronics.
