Spin-ARPES Evaluation of Topological Materials and Heterostructures for Spintronic and novel Electro-Optical Device Applications

The DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory (ARL) seeks a highly motivated, well informed, cross-disciplinary and skilled postdoctoral fellow with experience in the characterization and understanding of high quality topological, magnetic materials and heterostructures using ARPES techniques spin-ARPES. The selected fellow will investigate band structure phenomena that underlie theoretical descriptions of notional future topological electronic devices (TEDs) for energy-efficient electronics, sensors, and/or electro-optical (EO) and infrared (IR) technologies. The fellow will leverage state-of-the-art spin-ARPES facilities located within ARL/ARD, and will leverage extended capabilities off-site at leading spin-ARPES beamline facilities located at synchrotron sites. This postdoctoral fellowship is administered through ORISE and requires a doctoral degree. If selected by an advisor, the participant will be required to write a research proposal to submit to the ARL-RAP review panel.
