Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for 1 years in the first instance.
Working in the Space Photovoltaics research group within the Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy, under the supervision of Prof. Louise Hirst, you will develop methods for fabricating high-performance III-V photovoltaic devices for space power applications. This will include the fabrication of devices with epitaxially grown III-V films using planar device process techniques.
You will characterise the performance of these devices using precision optical and electrical measurements including dark IV, light IV, EQE and ellipsometry. You will perform optical and device simulation and correlate with measurements to interpret results, diagnose problems and iteratively improve performance.
