OFFER DESCRIPTION
Research work will be carried out at the Faculty of Physics at the University of Warsaw within a NCN-funded research project on Impact of atomic composition and strong coupling on generation of hot charge carriers in metal nanoparticle-adsorbate structures.
The scholarship holder will perform research at the intersection of electrodynamics, materials engineering, and condensed matter by studying mechanisms of generating hot charge carriers in nanostructures composed of metallic nanoparticles. The goal of the project is to understand how the atomic content and structural properties of nanoparticles as well as strong coupling to plasmonic excitations affect hot carrier generation. The theoretical and numerical work will be carried out with foreign.
