A PhD position is immediately available in the physics department at the
university of Freiburg, Germany. The project involves the study of the
electronic (and geometric) structure of pure and mixed free size selected
metal clusters, as well as of ultrafast dynamics in these "finite
electron gas" systems. The successful candidate will operate one of the
most advanced cluster spectroscopy setups, to which very recently an
ultralow temperature (<10 K) rf-trap for cluster thermalization has been
added. Currently an improved photoelectron spectrometer is under
construction as well, which together with the cluster cooling will allow
to measure spectra of unprecedented resolution. This will be used to study,
e.g., the finite size analogues of low temperature quantum effects like
superconductivity or Kondo effect. Ultrafast phenomena (and their size
and temperature dependence) will be studied by femtosecond pump-probe-
spectroscopy. There is a close cooperation with theoretical groups.
We are looking for an able and highly motivated candidate, ideally with
experience in some of the following fields: ion beams/mass spectroscopy,
laser spectroscopy, photoelectron spectroscopy, femtosecond
spectroscopy, ultrahigh vacuum technology.
