Postdoctoral researcher position available

We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher to join our optical spectroscopy team at the Solid-State Physics Department of the Gleb Wataghin Physics Institute in Campinas. The researcher is expected to employ and develop different optical spectroscopy techniques to study carrier and spin dynamics under the influence of surface acoustic waves (SAW) in transition metal …

Surface acoustic waves for exciton manipulation in 2D materials

We employed Surface Acoustic Waves (SAWs) to manipulate excitonic states in MoSe2 and MoS2 monolayers (MLs), as illustrated in the figure below. By transferring the MLs to high dielectric constant LiNbO3 substrates, we have shown how the SAW strain and piezoelectric field modifies the light emission of neutral and negatively charged excitonic states (trions). As …

Studying the optical properties of lanthanide-doped multi-shell nanoparticles

In collaboration with Prof. Fernando Sigoli (from the Institute of Chemistry) and other researchers, we contributed to the study of the emission properties of core-shell nanoparticles. We investigated nanoparticles with a cubic core containing DyIII ions and hexagonal shells where ErIII, YbIII and NdIII ions were distributed. We observed that these systems consistently show emission …

Unpolarized light sources from rolled-up quantum wells (Destaque da SBPMat)

Our work, in collaboration with Prof. Christoph Deneke (IFGW),  Ângelo Malachias (UFMG), and Leonarde Nascimento (UFV), is one latest highlights of the Brazilian Materials Research Society (SBPMat).  To see the press release click HERE. We demonstrate how the strain state of a rolled-up InGaAs/GaAs quantum well can be employed to induce strong valence band mixing …
