About the position
Internship: Pressure-dependent band-bowing in tin-lead perovskites
Institution: AMOLF
Research Field: Chemistry » Inorganic chemistry
Researcher Profile: Recognised Researcher (R2)
Job Status: Not Applicable
Is the job funded through the EU Research Framework Programme?: Not funded by a EU programme
Is the Job related to staff position within a Research Infrastructure?: No
In this project, you will study how pressure affects the band-bowing.
Applying pressure alters bond lengths and octahedral tilts, therefore changing the orbital overlap that determines the band gap.
You will learn how to synthesize perovskites using spin coating, perform structural characterization using X-ray diffraction and stability testing, and carry out pressure- dependent band-gap measurements.
AMOLF is a part of NWO-I and initiate and performs leading fundamental research on the physics of complex forms of matter, and to create new functional materials, in partnership with academia and industry.
The institute is located at Amsterdam Science Park and currently employs about 140 researchers and 80 support employees. www.amolf.nl
The Hybrid Solar Cell Group researches the next generation of solar cells using hybrid materials like metal halide perovskites.
We develop a deep understanding of material properties and their impact on device performance.
Our focus is on improving the stability of perovskite solar cells, addressing ion migration as a key challenge.
We have developed unique techniques to study and suppress ion migration and explore new applications for ion migration.
By combining the excellent semiconducting properties of perovskites with mobile ions, we develop devices for memory applications.
AMOLF Energy Research Academy: AMOLF offers a special program for research internships in sustainable energy science.
It is composed of a research project in one of AMOLF’s research groups, combined with a series of dedicated tutorials on fundamental aspects of the science behind sustainability technology.
Admission to this Academy is only possible in combination with a research internship project at AMOLF.
