Deadline: 19th Nov. 2012
DTU Nanotech would like to invite applications for a 3-year PhD position within the project “NAPLAS - Nanoplasmonic Sensors”
A multidisciplinary research project including 3 Ph.D. students is being established at the Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (DTU Nanotech) at the Technical University of Denmark aiming to develop ultra-sensitive plasmonic sensors for chemical analysis.
Please be aware that the employment of a candidate in this position will be dependent on granting of sufficient financing.
Localized surface plasmon (LSP) resonance is a result of a collective oscillation of conductive electrons that couple to an external optical field (light). Silver and gold are the most common plasmonic materials and, for particles much smaller than the wavelength of light, the LSP resonance lies in the visible frequency range. The resonance frequency strongly depends on various parameters such as particle composition, geometry, size, inter-particle separation distances and surrounding environment. Our vision is to use this effect to realize ultra-sensitive gas sensors for monitoring indoor climate and severe lung infections.
The positionThe Ph.D. project will be associated with the Nanoprobes group at the Department of Micro- and Nanotechnology at the Technical University of Denmark.
The position is both experimental and theoretical. The aim of this Ph.D. project is to study optical properties of unique metal nanostructures. The candidate will explore interesting plasmonic coupling effects in conjunction to another physical phenomenon, the so-called surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effect. The successful candidate will work on fabricating nanostructures, measuring optical response and interpreting results using theory. Experimental work will be carried out in the cleanroom facilities at DTU Danchip and in the laboratories of DTU Nanotech. The project work will be performed in collaboration with co-workers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden and the A-Star Institute of Materials Research and Engineering, Singapore.
We encourage both strong experimentalists and theory-minded candidates to apply for this position. The ideal applicant has a masters degree in engineering, physics or chemistry and has a strong interest in working theoretically as well as experimentally in a cross-disciplinary environment. The candidate should demonstrate qualifications or interests in some of the following:
