PhD Position in Perovskite Tandem Solar Cells
3 weken geleden
This PhD project focuses on optimizing light management in perovskite tandem solar cells to achieve high-efficiency solar cells. The project involves designing and optimizing metallo-dielectric back reflector geometries to scatter and redirect light in specially tailored ways, replacing surface texture on the Si cell and enhancing the cell efficiency.
In parallel, you will investigate specially tailored microstructures on the surface of the solar cell that preferentially scatter (far-)infrared spectral bands, creating effective passive radiative cooling and reducing the temperature of the solar cell under solar irradiation.
Research EnvironmentYou will join the Photonic Materials group at AMOLF, led by Prof. Albert Polman, which studies light-matter interactions at the nanoscale. The group is composed of an international team of PhD students, postdocs, and master students working in a collaborative atmosphere with many social group activities.
Our group is part of the AMOLF Light Management in Photovoltaic Materials Program, which shares a state-of-the-art cleanroom for nanofabrication and characterization and many other facilities.
QualificationsWe invite applications from highly motivated candidates with a strong background in physics, chemistry, materials science, or engineering, and a keen interest in solar cells. Prospective PhD candidates must hold an MSc degree in physics or equivalent qualification.
Working Conditions- The position is intended as a full-time appointment in the service of the Netherlands Foundation of Scientific Research Institutes (NWO-I) for the duration of four years.
- The starting salary is 2.781 Euros gross per month, and a range of employment benefits are offered.
- After successful completion of the PhD research, a PhD degree will be granted at a Dutch University.
- Several courses are offered, specially developed for PhD students.
- AMOLF assists any new foreign PhD student with housing and visa applications and compensates their transport costs and furnishing expenses.
