Doctoral Student (f/m/d): X-Ray Spectroscopic Characterization of Interfaces in Tandem Solar Cell Stacks Based on Halide Perovskites

Reference No.: SE 2024/32

 

In the Department for Interface Design, we study the structure function relationship between the chemical and electronic surface and interface properties of thin-film layer stacks and the performance of energy conversion materials and devices (e.g., solar cells, batteries, etc). We are responsible for the UHV-based spectroscopy (XAS, XPS, XES, RIXS, HAXPES) in the Energy Materials In-situ Laboratory Berlin (EMIL). In addition, we operate a lab-based ultra-high vacuum (UHV) surface analysis tool and the HiKE (HAXPES) endstation at BESSY II. Together with our partners (internal & external) we are currently working on tandem solar cells based on halide perovskites. Our work supports material and component optimization by characterizing the interfaces in corresponding tandem solar cell stacks using various X-ray spectroscopic methods.
We want to strengthen our characterization team by hiring you as a highly motivated and curious doctoral student. The department is offering you a PhD research position on the topic of advanced spectroscopic characterization of halide perovskite materials and its interfaces in photovoltaic devices. This work will involve partnering with a synthesis-focused research group, and as the successful candidate you will focus on characterization of materials using our x-ray and electron-based spectroscopic techniques.
