PhD Studentship: Smart Synthesis of Colloidal Quantum Dots for Quantum Devices

Found in: beBee S GB - 3 weeks ago

Southampton, United Kingdom University of Southampton Full time

PhD Supervisor: Dr Adrian Nightingale

Supervisory Team: Dr Adrian Nightingale

Project description: The University of Southampton is expanding its PhD research in the area of Quantum Technology Engineering. In addition to the research project outlined below you will receive substantial training in scientific, technical, and commercial skills.

Colloidal quantum dots are semiconductor nanocrystals that sit in between molecular and bulk materials. Their small size (typically

In this project you will look at methods for efficiently producing device-quality quantum dots ready for making the quantum technology devices of the future. In particular, you will look at combining flow reactors with inline optical analysis methods and computer control, taking advantage of recent developments in reactor technology and algorithms to control reactions and explore reaction parameter space. You will autonomous reactors that can continuously produce high quality quantum dots, monitor the quality of them as they are produced, and independently determine optimum reaction parameters.

If you are interested, please contact the supervisor for more information: Adrian Nightingale a.nightingale@soton.ac.uk
