PhD Studentship - Laser based ARPES from ultra-pure correlated metals

The group of Dr F. Baumberger has a PhD Studentship in experimental condensed matter physics available. The candidate will be part of a small team working on an ambitious project funded by the European Research Council aiming to develop a narrow bandwidth laser based UV source for ultrahigh resolution angle resolved photoemissionspectroscopy (ARPES) from solieds.

The initial goal will be to design and setup a highly intense UV ligh source. After successful commissioning the new source will be coupled to an existing state-of-theart electron spectrometer. This combination will be extremely powerful for ultra-high resolution electronic structure studies of complex materials. During the second half of the PhD it is planned to use the new experimental facility to study the quantum many-body states of ultra-pure low dimensional correlated electron systems by means of angular resolved photoemission. Preliminary experiments on the materials of interest will be performed in-house on a modern ARPES spectrometer equipped with a conventional light source and at synchrotron facilities abroad.

The successful candidate is expected to be a skillful and original experimenter with a broad and profound background in physics. Knowledge and experience in photonics, spectroscopy, or correlated electron physics is advantageous but not a necessary condition for the position.

The post is for 3 and half years, starting 1 November 2008, or as soon as possible thereafter.
