PhD Thesis

Our group is looking for motivated people to join our team as PhD students. You will work with a novel technique, the momentum microscope, and reveal peculiarities of the electronic and crystal structure of highly corelated materials.

In our group you will gain experience with:

  • State-of-the-art ultra-high vacuum technology;
  • Experimental data analysis (XPD, XPS, ARPES, MOKE);
  • Sample preparation for the surface sensitive photoemission experiments;
  • Operation of the time-of-flight momentum microscopy setup;
  • Operation of Kerr microscope (MOKE);
  • Measurements at synchrotron facilities;
  • Writing of scientific papers and presenting of the experimental results at international conferences;
  • Work in international environment and the opportunity to interact with a wide network of international collaborators.

Possible topics

Investigation of inversion symmetry breaking in electronically corelated materials with inelastic scattering in transmission time-of-flight momentum microscopy

  • Operando angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) of heterostructures and devices on the base of them
  • Standing Wave X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy for Multilayered Systems
  • Spin-resolved angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) of electronically corelated materials

If there is no open position within running projects in the group we are always open to discuss joint funding applications.
