Optical properties of complex disordered materials with structural correlations

The main objective of this post-doctoral position is to investigate theoretically and numerically the possibility to design correlated materials with predefined optical properties, such as target reflected and transmitted spectra.

Nanoscale study of infrared emission from van der Waals heterostructures and plasmonic antennas.

We recently discovered through far-field measurements that graphene-based transistors encapsulated in boron nitride (hBN) are electroluminescent in the mid-infrared spectral range. We wish to extend our knowledge of the phenomenon by carrying out near-field measurements in the infrared using a local scanning probe called TRSTM (thermal radiation scanning tunnelling microscope) to obtain super-resolved images and spectra of the infrared radiation emitted by the graphene-based device in operation.
In addition, the post-doctoral research will also aim to use intense laser illumination to excite thermally some specific electromagnetic modes of infrared plasmonic nano-antennas in order to produce optically programmable infrared sources.
