About us:

The London Centre for Nanotechnology (LCN) is an interdisciplinary enterprise between University College London, King's College London and Imperial College London.

In bringing together world-class infrastructure and leading nanotechnology research activities, the Centre aims to attain the critical mass to compete with the best facilities abroad.

The LCN has strong relationships with the broader nanotechnology and commercial communities, and is involved in much major collaboration.

As the world's only such facility to be located in the heart of a metropolis, the LCN has superb access to corporate, investment and industrial partners.

It is at the forefront of training in nanotechnology, and has a strong media presence aimed at educating the public and bringing transparency to this emerging science.

About the role:

The Postholder will fabricate and characterise few and single dopant atom devices in silicon where the dopants are incorporated using hydrogen resist lithography, exploiting the techniques of scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM), chemical vapour deposition (CVD) and molecular beam epitaxy (MBE).

Emphasise will be placed on the fabrication of single arsenic dopant structures for the demonstration of measurement-based entanglement of spin qubits.

The fabrication process will also involve the use of the cleanroom techniques of electron beam lithography (EBL), reactive ion etching (RIE) and metal evaporation, plus other standard processing techniques.

Samples with interconnects, fiduciaries and other patterns will also be made.

The fabricated samples will be studied using a variety of techniques including rf electrical measurements at cryogenic measurements, scanning probe microscopies, and optical measurements.

Duties and responsibilities include:

Fabricate few and single atom dopant devices, where the locations of the dopants are precisely defined using hydrogen resist lithography; prepare manuscripts for submission to peer-reviewed journals; prepare presentations, including text and images, for delivery by self as well as others; contribute to the overall activities of the research team and department as required; contribute to the induction and direction of other research staff and students as requested; and carry out any other duties as are within the scope, spirit and purpose of the job as requested by Prof.
