Description
The incumbent will be involved in research to advance strategies to develop macro-scale to atom-scale electrical connections to thereby achieve quantum transport measurements through atom defined structures. The project will involve nanofabrication to create specialized silicon samples with Macro-to-Atom contacts for the printing of atomic circuitry. Fabrication will involve optical, e-beam and/or scan probe based lithography as well as encapsulation methods to protect circuity. Electrical measurements of unique samples, sample preparation methods, doping of hydrogen terminated silicon, the development of unique hardware and software solutions for STM and/or other lithography may be performed depending on the incumbent’s qualifications. The project will deliver high-impact publications by tackling the challenging issues with connecting to and addressing atomic circuitry created on hydrogen terminated silicon surfaces.
