    Descripción

    Physics and Engineering of Nanodevices (PEN) group,

    Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2)

    Join ICN2 for an exciting PhD position centered on proximity-induced spin phenomena and spin-orbit torques in artificial heterostructures based on 2D quantum materials (2DQM). ICN2 is located 30 minutes north of downtown Barcelona, Spain ). You will be hosted by the group of ICREA Prof. Sergio O. Valenzuela ), whose main activities relate to the electronic properties of quantum nanomaterials and nanodevices. The group counts with extensive state-of-the-art facilities for material growth, device design and fabrication, as well as for magneto-transport measurements (from 20 mK to room temperature). It also counts with a strong collaboration network across Europe and the USA.

    The Project: Exploring spin phenomena in 2D quantum materials

    Our project is driven by recent technical advances in the field of 2DQMs, with a focus on cutting-edge heterostructures using graphene and other atomically thin materials. These innovative heterostructures open the door to groundbreaking physics concepts, including exotic topological phases, and offer new possibilities for data storage and computing. Proximity effects play a pivotal role in unlocking the immense potential of 2DQMs. By strategically bringing them into contact with suitable (insulating) materials, we can introduce desired properties into their electronic band structure. This results in enriched and tailored electrical, optical, and spin behaviors of 2DQMs, leading to transformative materials design for spintronic memories, THz detectors, and quantum manipulation.

    As a PhD student in our research group, you will focus on pioneering magnetic and spin-orbit proximity effects. Delving into the world of 2DQMs, you will be involved in the investigation of electronic properties in hybrid heterostructures, which will encompass a diverse range of materials, including metals, semimetals, semiconductors, and ferromagnets. This investigation will allow you to explore and tailor spin transport and spin-orbit torques exerted on ferromagnetic materials. The project combines solid-state physics, material science, and device engineering, offering you a unique opportunity to learn advanced nanofabrication techniques, perform low-noise electrical measurements, and conduct rigorous data analysis. Additionally, you will be in close collaboration with in-house theoretical physicists, fostering a stimulating environment for exchanging ideas and perspectives.
