Offer Description
Work Plan:
This project aims to develop fully printed, self-rectifying memristors, free of noble and critical raw materials. To achieve the necessary control over the chemical and electronic properties at the Schottky interface, a “close to in situ” approach for X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy of solution processed thin films will be applied. This is a novelty in terms of device engineering methodology for solution processed electronics. The proposed device structure will be entirely printable. Resistive switching device fabrication will be optimized, and their electrical performance assessed.
Workplace:
The work will be developed at the Materials Research Center (CENIMAT|i3N) of the Nova School of Science and Technology (FCT NOVA), under the scientific guidance of Dr. Jonas Deuermeier and Dr. Emanuel Carlos.
Fellowship duration:
The fellowship will last for 4 months, starting in March 2023.
Application deadline and form of application submission:
The call is open from January 23th, 2023 to Febuary 7th, 2023.
Applicable legislation and regulations:
Law No. 40/2004, of August 18, amended and republished by Decree-Law No. 202/2012 of August 27 (Statute of the Scientific Research Fellow) and amended by Decree-Law No. 233/2012 of October 29, by Law No. 12 /2013 of 29 January, by Decree-Law No. 89/2013, of 9 July and Decree-Law No. 123/2019, of 28 August; Regulation of Research Grants of NOVA.id.FCT – Association for Innovation and Development of FCT; Regulation of Research Grants of the Foundation for Science and Technology, I.P. in force (https://www.fct.pt/apoios/bolsas/regulamento.phtml.pt);
