Postdoctoral contract with at IMDEA Nanociencia - Madrid, Spain

Project: Room-Temperature Quantum Effects in Single-Molecule Circuits

Candidate profile:

•             PhD in chemistry, physics or related fields.

•             Previous experience of scanning probe microscopy techniques, particularly related to molecular electronics, will be highly appreciated.

•             Knowledge of Matlab will also be valued.

Activities to carry out:

•             Plan and carry out single-molecule conductance experiments on porphyrin nanoribbons using the Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) Breakjunction technique, with a focus on measuring the molecular Seebeck coefficient.

•             Perform analysis of results obtained from the single-molecule measurements.

•             Electrochemical characterisation studies on monolayers of porphyrin nanoribbons.

•             Help in the construction of a new STM.
