Job Description
The successful candidate will work with Prof Barbaros Oezyilmaz on fabricating and characterizing twisted bilayer graphene (tBLG) using large-scale chemical vapor deposition (CVD) techniques under a project on Large-area 2D materials transfer and applications.
The discovery of twistronics, a potential Nobel Prize contender, could revolutionize advanced device concepts like topological quantum computing and single-photon detectors. However, the current low-yield "pick-up" method limits device fabrication to micron-sized graphene sheets, restricting the creation of larger arrays needed for functional quantum sensors and circuits.
We are seeking a highly motivated Research Fellow to join our research team in the Materials Science/Physics Department at the National University of Singapore. The candidate will work on fabricating and characterizing twisted bilayer graphene (tBLG) using large-scale CVD techniques, aiming to revolutionize the production of high-quality, defect-free graphene films for advanced optoelectronic devices like single-photon detectors.
The main responsibilities of the position include:
1. Develop and refine single-layer dry transfer techniques to achieve defect- and residue-free graphene sheets.
2. Utilize a fully automated high-speed laminator tool to create large-area arrays of devices with twisted layers.
3. Conduct research on the fabrication and characterization of twisted bilayer graphene and other 2D materials.
4. Collaborate with an interdisciplinary team of researchers to explore the angle-dependent properties of tBLG and establish the physical origin of emerging phenomena.
Qualifications
• Qualifications / Discipline:
1. A Ph.D. in Materials Science, Physics, or a related field.
2. Strong background in 2D materials, nanofabrication, and characterization techniques.
• Skills:
1. Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently and collaboratively.
2. Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Experience:
1. Experience with chemical vapor deposition (CVD) graphene and dry transfer methods is highly desirable.
