Offer Description
The BaDElPh beamline at Elettra provides photons in the 4.6 - 40 eV energy range with high flux and energy resolution, and variable linear polarization. The beamline end-station is primarily devoted to high-resolution, angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES).
The research carried out by the beamline staff focuses on the study of the electronic structure and many-body effects in solid materials using bulk-sensitive photoemission and ARPES with high energy and high momentum resolution. These activities are performed by exploiting the capabilities presently offered by the beamline and by further developing the instrumentation in order to accomplish the most challenging experimental needs.
See http://www.elettra.eu/elettra-beamlines/badelph.html for more information
The successful candidate will work in close collaboration with the beamline staff on research subjects such as the electronic structure of 2D materials, high Tc superconductors and topological insulators. It is expected and encouraged that she/he contributes actively to the in-house and external user research. Further, she/he will be involved in the operation, maintenance and upgrade of the BaDElPh beamline and experimental station.
