Our group's specialty is growth and transport study of thin films grown by Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE). Our custom-designed MBE system has a number of unique capabilities that facilitate atomic-scale engineering of a variety of novel material systems. Utilizing these unique capabilities, we are actively investigating topological insulators, complex oxides and their heterostructures. Such heterostructures could yield new physics and devices that are intriguing both intellectually and technologically. We are currently one of the leading groups in thin film topological insulators.

Job Opening

We are looking for a postdoc candidate to work on (oxide or non-oxide) topological insulators and their devices.

Experiences in some of the following areas will be helpful.

1. Thin film growth techniques: (complex-)oxide MBE, compound-semiconductor (III-V, II-VI, etc) MBE, or other thin film growth techniques.

2. Thin film characterization schemes: XRD, AFM, etc.

3. (Magneto-) Transport studies of thin film structures and devices (oxides, semiconductors, graphene-like materials, or topological insulators).

4. Cryogenics (sub-liquid-helium temperatures) and transport-instrumentation (+ Labview programming).

5. Photo(ebeam) lithography.

Considering that many renowned groups around the world are currently working on our thin film structures, this position will provide additional opportunities to form strong networks with those great scientists, which will be invaluable for his/her future career.
