PhD in Condensed Matter

Experimental low-temperature physics involving nanofabrication, high pressure measurements, extreme magnetic field and milliKelvin temperatures to tune exotic low dimensional materials./nThis project is supported by the large investment of a URKI Future Leaders Fellowship to identify, synthesise and explore new 2D materials, searching for exotic quantum functionalities to form new sustainable electronics and new types of computing./nAs a student you will synthesise single crystals and nanoscale devices in a cleanroom environment, perform advanced characterisation using pressure cells and cryogenic equipment developed in-house, and visit large-scale facilities for neutron and X-ray diffraction. The project is based at the University of Birmingham in Birmingham.
