The PhD programme TU-D combines synthesis, characterisation, application and simulation of 2-dimensional materials and systems. The following PhD position is advertised within this programme:

Operando PAR-XPS studies of 2D electronic devices and their manipulation with electrons and ions

X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) is well established to study surfaces and interfaces. In particular, Parallel Angle Resolved XPS (PAR-XPS) may be seen as an ultimate tool to study 2D materials as it allows for analyzing surfaces and interfaces by means of probing non-destructive depth profiles within the information depth of less than 10 nm [1,2,3]. The Figure depicts an example of PAR-XPS survey spectra obtained from a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) on hafnium oxide substrate. The increased intensities of the F1s lines with increased surface sensitivity may indicate an upright position of the molecules on the substrate.
