The work will be in collaboration with Silvana Botti (LSI, Ecole Polytechnique, Paris; http://theory.lsi.polytechnique.fr/) and with Ludger Wirtz (IEMN - Dept. ISEN, Lille; http://www.isen.fr/~delerue/nanocristaux.html). RESEARCH PROJECT: The research project concerns the calculation of electronic excitations in nanotubes and nanowires. Both ab-initio techniques and semi-empirical techniques will be used. One important aspect will be the implementation of the techniques of many-body perturbation theory (GW-method and Bethe-Salpeter equation) in the framework of a tight-binding approximation. Once the methodology is developed, it will be applied to study the optical absorption and luminescence spectra of different nanotubes (C, BN, and MoS2) and of different nanowires (e.g., Si, Ge, GaAs, GaN). The project is embedded in the NANOQUANTA European network of excellence (http://www.cmt.york.ac.uk/nanoquanta/) and its initiative to build a European Theoretical Spectroscopy Facility (ETSF, http://theory.polytechnique.fr/etsf/). PRACTICAL ASPECTS: The position is funded by the French National Research Agency (ANR). The initial contract will be for one year with possible renewal for 1 more year. It could start as early as January 2006. The position will be formally attached to the IEMN (Villeneuve d'Ascq) but the candidate will share his/her time between the IEMN and the Ecole Polytechnique. Short visits to other nodes of the NANOQUANTA network are encouraged to develop the project. CANDIDATE: The candidate should have a PhD in Physics, Theoretical Chemistry, or Material Science. He/she should have a background in solid-state physics and in numerical calculation/coding. APPLICATION: Please send (i) a letter of motivation, (ii) a CV, and (iii) the coordinates of one or two persons willing to write a letter of recommendation to Ludger.Wirtz-at-isen.fr or Silvana.Botti-at-polytechnique.fr. Do not hesitate to contact us for further questions.
