Silicon Carbide for Solid-State Qubits, Opto-Electronics & Power Electronics
ORAU, Adelphi, Maryland, United States
Overview
Silicon Carbide for Solid-State Qubits, Opto-Electronics & Power Electronics Organization: DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory Reference Code: ARL-C-SEDD-1747917357 About the Research
A research opportunity is available with the U.S Army Research Laboratory's (ARL) Sensors and Electron Devices Directorate (SEDD) located in Adelphi, MD. SEDD is seeking a highly motivated candidate for a Postdoctoral Fellowship with a background in Physics, Materials Science, Electrical Engineering or related fields. Silicon carbide is a well-established wide-bandgap semiconductor with demonstrated commercial uses primarily for power electronics and as a substrate for lighting. Current research at ARL is focused on demonstrating point defects in silicon carbide as a viable candidate for quantum technologies. The potential for a solid-state quantum network provides a prominent role for a silicon carbide qubit integrated with sensing capabilities. Research proposals are solicited in the following areas: Epitaxial growth of low-strain, low defect density silicon carbide by CVD and relevant material characterization for use as solid-state spin qubits in different SiC polytypes and device structures Modeling and fabrication of photonic crystal nanostructures in SiC for quantum device development and hybrid GaN/SiC optoelectronic sensors Development and demonstration of hybrid devices that integrate quantum, opto-electronic, MEMS and/or power electronic components in SiC on the wafer scale Qualifications include experience in at least two of the following areas: epitaxial semiconductor crystal growth (CVD, MBE), semiconductor processing (lithography, etching and deposition for photonic crystal structures, power and/or opto-electronic devices), magnetic resonance (ESR, NMR, ODMR), optical characterization (PL, SE, FTIR, Raman), electrical characterization (capacitance-voltage, Hall) or structural characterization (XRD, AFM, SEM, XPS). Responsibilities
Perform research in epitaxial growth, material characterization, and device development for SiC-based quantum technologies Model and fabricate photonic crystal nanostructures in SiC for quantum device applications Develop and demonstrate hybrid devices that integrate quantum, opto-electronic, MEMS and power electronics components in SiC Collaborate with ARL advisors and contribute to research proposals and ARL-RAP processes Qualifications
Citizenship: U.S. Citizen Only Degree: Doctoral Degree Academic Level: Any Discipline(s): Chemistry and Materials Sciences; Analytical, Bio-inorganic, Bio-organic, Biophysical, General Chemistry; Environmental, Inorganic, Materials, Organic, Physical, Polymer, Theoretical Chemistry; Computer, Information, and Data Sciences; Earth and Geosciences; Engineering; Environmental and Marine Sciences; Mathematics and Statistics; Physics How To Apply
Although all applications must be processed through Zintellect, please feel free to reach out directly to the advisor, Brenda VanMil at Brenda.L.VanMil.civ@mail.mil for more information or guidance. About ARL-RAP The Army Research Laboratory Research Associateship Program (ARL-RAP) is designed to significantly increase involvement of scientists and engineers from academia and industry in areas relevant to the Army. A complete application includes: Curriculum Vitae or Resume Three References Forms Transcripts References should be from persons familiar with your educational and professional qualifications; include your thesis or dissertation advisor if applicable. Transcripts verifying degree must be submitted with the application (unofficial copies acceptable). If selected by an advisor, the participant will also be required to write a research proposal to submit to the ARL-RAP review panel. A link to upload the proposal will be provided to the applicant once the advisor has made their selection. Questions about this opportunity?
