Post-doc position opening at CEA-Saclay
"Electronic transport in BCN-nanotubes at the mesoscopic scale"
A full research one year post-doc position is open at the Commissariat à l'Energie Atomique(CEA) in Saclay, which is located in Paris region.
Salary:
The fundings correspond to twelve months from the starting date. Income will be in the range of 2000-2500 ¤, depending on the candidate experience.
Project:
The work will be devoted to the study of the electronic transport in nanotubes made from carbon, boron and nitrogen. The calculations will be performed at the mesoscopic scale, aiming to estimate the transport
regime and to compute characteristics lengths (mean-free-paths, localization lengths) in order to compare the results with usual theories. Complex and large structures will be addressed, implying the use of combined ab initio and semi-empirical calculations, as well as order O(N) numerical techniques.
This project will be carried out in tight collaborations with groups of researchers at the CEA of Grenoble (France) and at the University of Namur (Belgium).
Requirements:
The applicant must hold a PhD thesis in the field of theoretical and/or numerical solid state physics, since the knowledge of basic concepts will be mandatory for the project: electronic structure calculations, coding and modeling. Besides, the applicant should be interested in both semi-empirical models (with order O(N) techniques) and ab initio calculations.
