Description

The School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Nottingham welcomes PhD applications in Experimental Condensed Matter Physics. The studentship is fully-funded (fees and stipend) for eligible UK students.

The PhD award provides 4-year funding to commence in October 2026.

Project

The PhD student will join a team of scientists at the University of Nottingham to develop atomically thin materials (2D semiconductors or 2DSEM) in a groundbreaking £6million EPSRC Programme Grant to reduce the soaring energy demands of artificial intelligence. 2DSEM behave in a fundamentally different way from their bulk (3D) counterparts and their unique electronic properties can support entirely new effects, both individually and when combined to form new structures, from new forms of charge and spin order to ferroelectricity at the atomic scale. The project will advance the precise engineering of 2DSEM pushing the limits of what can be created, probed and exploited using a bespoke facility (EPI2SEM) for EPItaxial growth and in-situ analysis of 2DSEM, funded by a £2.9 million EPSRC Strategic Equipment Award.

Qualifications

Applicants should have (or expect to obtain by the start date) at least a 2.1 degree in Physics or related subject.
