PhD on Modeling of electronic processes in organic light-emitting diodes

 Deadline: 14th August 2012
Nationality: Any
TU Eindhoven

How to Apply.

This theoretical project concerns the modeling of electronic processes in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). OLEDs have unique properties: they are energy-efficient, have a large area, and can be made flexible and transparent. For these reasons they are considered to be the light sources of the future. OLEDs are presently rapidly entering the display and lighting market. Several mobile-phone brands nowadays offer OLED displays that are superior to the usual LCD displays with backlight. The first white OLEDs for lighting applications are being launched. Essential electronic processes in OLEDs are: 1) the injection of electrons and holes, 2) the transport of electrons and holes, 3) the formation of excitons, i.e., bound electron-hole pairs, 4) the diffusion of excitons, and 5) the decay of excitons under the emission of photons. Many aspects of these processes are still poorly understood. A full breakthrough of OLED technology requires breakthroughs in the modeling of these processes.


Profile
We are looking for a motivated candidate with an MSc in Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science or Mathematics and with strong theoretical and/or computational skills. A good education in Quantum Physics, Statistical Physics, Quantum Chemistry and/or Computational Physics is an advantage. He/she should be able to work in a dynamic environment and to collaborate with academic as well as industrial partners.
Appointment and salary
We offer:
  • An exciting job in a group active on theoretical bio- and nano-physics of organic matter (Theory of Polymers and Soft Matter, www.phys.tue.nl/tps)
  • A dynamic environment oriented on fundamental physics with a technological perspective
  • A full time appointment for four years (start date as soon as possible)
  • Gross monthly salary from €2042 (first year) to €2612 (fourth year) in line with the Collective Agreement for Dutch Universities
  • An attractive package of fringe benefits, including end-of-year allowance, a personal development program for PhD students (Proof program), and excellent sport facilities
