This PhD project, financed by the NWO Start Up grant (https://www.nwo.nl/en/news-and-events/news/2019/07/seven-researchers-in-physics-and-chemistry-to-receive-funding-in-final-start-up-round.html), focuses on the experimental realization and study of p-type transparent conductors following recent theoretical predictions. The work spans from in-depth studies of the fundamental material properties that leads to p-type conductivity and transparency -up to now being one of the
biggest challenges in optoelectronics-, to the implementation of the materials in solar cells. More specifically, the successful candidate will have the following tasks:
All candidates are expected to develop into independent researchers, mentor BSc and MSc students, and work collaboratively with interdisciplinary and international team members. In the framework of the project collaboration with scientists at EPFL and UC Berkeley is also foreseen. Excellent English writing and presentation skills are required. He or she will have the opportunity to travel to conferences and workshops. The PhD candidate is expected to start in January 2020.
