Quantum transport in 2D topological materials

Topological protection results in coherent quantum states. If the dimension of the material is 2D, such topologically protected states appear in the form of dissipationless edge channels, like  quantum spin Hall (QSH) states.

Our approach to realizing the QSH states is by MBE growth, a technique that can deposit the material layer by layer with atomic precision. Therefore, high-quality single crystalline thin films will be produced, which should host the desired QSH states.

PhD position in Structure Determination (XRD) and Modelling (DFT) of topological quantum materials

Interested in both theory and experiment? Intrigued by quantum materials and their future prospects? Dive into this project affiliated with the QuMat consortium that will conduct combined experimental (diffraction techniques) and theoretical (ab initio calculations) determination of the crystal structures of magnetic topological insulators.

The ambitious goal is to find the structural patterns that are most favorable for robust ferromagnets with the highest ordering temperature. To achieve it, you will employ x-ray (XRD) and neutron (ND) diffraction methods as well as DFT(+U) modelling.
