Description

This basic and applied research opportunity invites the applicant to define a research program developing and understanding new ferroelectric, magnetic, or multiferroic material systems of interest to Navy, DoD, and the broader materials community. The ideal candidate will have experience in some combination of the following: solid-state synthesis, solution processing techniques, cleanroom fabrication, structure-property relationships, magnetic materials and magnetometry, pizeoelectric and ferroelectric materials and measurements, and optical characterization techniques. The candidate will have access to experts in functional materials synthesis and characterization and a suite of equipment and instruments that will enable this work. The candidate's work is expected to enable next-generation electronics such as memristors, circulators, filters, and quantum devices.
