Topic: Epitaxy of Silicene in 2D Heterostructures
Silicene is the silicon-based member of the class of the Xenes, namely single-element two-dimensional (2D) crystals. A Post-Doc fellow will be involved in the growth of silicene through interface engineering by means of molecular beam epitaxy (MBE); characterization of silicene with in situ diagnosticsand ex situ optical spectroscopies; processing and transfer of silicene into device susbtrate targeting Schotky diodes and memristive cells. The activity is within the national PRIN 2022 grant n. 2022XMYF5E «Intercalation assisted silicene/MoS2heterostructures for two-dimensional nanojunctions (ITER)» under the supervision of Dr. Alessandro Molle within the general Xene research line in the Xene/2Dmaterials team at the CNR-IMM and with project partner Politecnico di Milano.
Goal: identification of intercalated silicene and testing of MoS2/silicene nanojunctions
​
Skills: managing molecular beam epitaxy equipmentunder ultra-high vacuum; in situ characterization by means of some of the following technicques: LEED, RHEED, AES, XPS, Raman spectroscopy; sexpertisewith STM and AFM; expertise with Raman/Photoluminescence spectrosocpy.
​
Length: 18 months
​
Net salary: 1615 €/month for 12 months per year
​
Workplace: CNR-IMM Agrate Unit, via C. Olivetti 2, 20864 Agrate Brianza, Italy (inside ST Microelectronics Agrate headquarter, nearby Milan)
​
Funding details: MUR PRIN 2022 grant n. 2022XMYF5E «Intercalation assisted silicene/MoS2heterostructures for two-dimensional nanojunctions (ITER)» in partnership with Politecnico Di Milano, Prof. Andrea Li Bassi.
