Field of Interest:cond-mat, hep-ex, physics.ins-det
Experiments:Progetto di Ateneo 2017-18 - Graphene
Deadline: 2017-07-17
Region: Europe
Job description:
The Department of Physics of the University of Pisa opens one temporary research associate position for the research program:
“Design, simulation and characterization of graphene-based ionizing radiation detectors”.
The dead-line for the application is July 17th 2017.
A brief description of the research project can be found below(*).
The position will cover a period of 1 year, renewable.
The candidate must have already obtained a PhD or an equivalent academic qualification.
The selection procedure includes an interview (possible also remotely).
The announcement with all the information can be found in:
https://www.unipi.it/ateneo/bandi/assegni/pra2017/fisica/17072017/index.htm
(*) The project proposes the exploration of graphene applications in semiconductor radiation detector systems typically used in High Energy Physics experiments. The graphene exceptional electrical, mechanical and thermal
properties might offer a possibility for improving the performance of such detector systems. A feasibility study of using graphene devices as first signal amplification elements in radiation detectors will be investigated. The GFET is fabricated on top of an absorber substrate where ionizing particles release charge. The polarized detector substrate acts as a back gate, activating the GFET when crossed by radiation and causing a change in resistivity than can be detected by an external circuit. This technique would allow the development of monolithic detector systems with internal amplification.
The program includes the exploration of different kinds of GFETs and of different
kind of substrates in order to characterize the sensitivity to released charge, the readout speed, and their temperature dependence.
