Ph.D. Position in NV Sensing for Ultrathin Magnetic Material
2D magnetism, which exhibits ultimate scaling down to the monolayer limit, is one of the hottest topics of magnetism. For future spintronics devices, magnetic properties at the nanoscale in such systems are crucial. However, many of today’s measurement technologies do not measure magnetic properties locally but integrate over the whole device, leaving many open questions. In project A12, we use local, nanoscale magnetometry based on so-called color centers in diamond. These tiny flaws in the diamond crystal provide us with a highly sensitive sensor spin to investigate novel materials for spintronics. The main color center we are using is the nitrogen vacancy (NV) center in diamond.The Transregional Collaborative Research Center 173 Spin+X investigates spin properties from various perspectives and by connecting several scientific disciplines. Its research encompasses the whole range of spin research, spanning from microscopic properties to emergent spin phenomena and to the coupling to the macroscopic world. Project A12 combines the expertise of the workgroups of Prof. Mathias Kläui at JGU Mainz on magnetic materials, especially ultrathin and 2-dimensional materials, and the expertise of the group of Prof. Elke Neu-Ruffing at RPTU Kaiserslautern in NV magnetometry. We are seeking a highly motivated Ph.D. student to conduct research at RPTU involving constructing a setup for low temperature NV magnetometry. You will also have the opportunity to work with our other state-of-the-art equipment, including our fully integrated, commercial scanning NV magnetometer. The project will also include working on the fabrication of diamond nanostructures as well as modeling the measurement data. You should bring a strong commitment to working in an interdisciplinary, international, collaborative team. A background in physics or a related field (Master) is required. A high-level English language proficiency is important; additional German language proficiency is not necessary but can be helpful.How to apply
