Focus directions
Our work focuses on studying and exploring novel phenomena that emerges at the interface of hybrid materials or multilayered electronic phases. Examples include but not limited to Ferromagnet/Superconductor interfaces, 2D material/Heavy metal interfaces etc.
In due course, we will also be designing a host of superconducting devices which are required for various applications like RFSQ cryogenic memory, superconducting resonators and qubits, tunnel junctions for heterodyne mixing etc.
Working in the QMD lab
You will be involved in growing multilayerd-thin films, nanofabrication, and measurement of the fabricated devices at temperatures close to absolute zero.
You will be using a host of sophisticated state of the art equipment which include customised ultra-high vacuum systems, optical and electron beam lithography, various dry plasma etching techniques, and closed cycle helium and helium-3 refrigerators with various sourcing, measuring modules and lockin amplifiers, and a generous dose of python scripting for data acquisition and analysis .
Interested in joining the lab as a Post-Doc?
You must have experience with at least one and preferably a combination of more than one of the following:
Working with thin film superconductors, ferromagnets or exfoliated 2D materials
Handling of high vacuum systems and sputter/eveporation growth techniques
Lithography and general cleanroom usage
Usage of low temperature (4.2K or lower) measurement systems
