PhD position: Terahertz spectroscopy of organic semiconductors
Prof. Roland Kersting, Faculty of Physics, LMU
Project: Organic semiconductors enable new electronic devices, such as mechanically flexible electronics or low-cost large-area displays. But the physics behind charge transport in molecular semiconductors is only partially understood, which makes further progress on the way towards molecular devices challenging.
The goal of the project is to gain insight into the fundamental transport processes of charge carriers in organic semiconductors. Of particular interest is how carriers move on length scales comparable to molecular distances. Transport across such small distances can be accessed by terahertz (THz) spectroscopy. For the THz experiments, devices will be fabricated using semiconductor processing technologies, such as physical vapor deposition (PVD) and chemical vapor deposition (CVD).
