About the Role

NPL-Imperial College iCASE Studentship on Metrology of Single Electron Transistor Devices

A four-year funded PhD studentship is available at Imperial College London in collaboration with the (NPL), Teddington Middlesex. 

The successful candidate will join the Optical and Semiconductor Devices Group in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Imperial College London. The student will be primarily located at Imperial College London, South Kensington Campus, but must also spend at least three months at the National Physical Laboratory,Teddington, Middlesex in the Dimensional Metrology Group working on metrology of quantum devices.

Summary of Project:

Single-electron transistors (SETs) controlling electrons precisely using the Coulomb blockade effect, provide a way to reduce electrical device size to

    Metal components subject to high energy laser and directed energy beams can suffer catastrophic failure. Understanding and predicting the interactions between lasers and metallic structures is thus critical to protecting people and equipment. This has applications including defence and space. This project will involve developing better models for laser/metal...

    Nano- and Micro-mechanical testing of fusion steel: the effect of temperature and strain rate In the absence of a comprehensive database of materials properties for the in-vessel components of a spherical tokamak for fusion energy production, predictive models and advance simulation techniques will be required. UKAEA is currently developing predictive...
