As a PhD student, you will contribute to the project by the structural investigation and analysis of bulk crystals, epitaxial layers and devices. The focus here is on in-situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM), the determination of internal electric fields and, above all, the evaluation of interface quality. By doing so, we aim to provide valuable insights to material growth and device fabrication to improve the efficiency. The selected student will mainly work with the newly installed Thermo Fisher Helios Hydra UX dual beam and state of the art TEM Thermo Fisher Spectra Ultra with Thermo Fisher Illiad EELS sys-tem in IKZ’s Application Lab for In Situ Electron Microscopy (ALISE). Do application focused material research with the aim to make energy conversion more efficient and make your contribution to meeting the EU CO₂ Net-Zero targets! All-GO-HEMT, do you go, too?
