Přehled

HINA project proposes to consider the hybrid integration of alkaline niobate-tantalate thin films (materials with the highest known experimentally measured electro-optic, nonlinear, piezoelectric, elasto-optic coefficients) in photonic and acoustic devices for advanced semiconductor photonics platforms. HINA links world-leading research groups at Academia and Industry to give a combined, integrated approach of synthesis/fabrication, characterization, modeling/theory linked to concepts for materials integration in devices and systems.

In the Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences you will be part of Department of Dielectrics. You can read more about this department here Department of Dielectrics | FZU. The thesis will be supervised by Dr. Jiri Hlinka, material scientist with a two decades of leadership experience in the ferroelectric physics, and co-supervised by Dr. Fedir Borodavka, a young expert in PFM and Raman scattering techniques.

What will you do

Follow lectures and pass the exams within the doctoral program organized by the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics at the Charles University in Prague
Work on your own scientific subjects aiming to have material for your PhD theses
Learn various work skills outlined in your own personal development plan
Participate in HINA training schools, workshops and secondments within EU countries involved in HINA project
Characterize ferroelectric oxide films by several techniques including Raman scattering, PFM and dielectric measurements
Perform phenomenological or computational analysis of selected observations
Participate in teaching and outreach activities, publish your results in peer-reviewed journals.
