The candidate should have university knowledge of physics, mathematics and programming. Experience with laboratory work is of benefit but not compulsory.
Latest advances in laser and nanophotonics technology show that a new grade of electronic devices might come. Such devices would operate thousand or million times faster than contemporary computers. By exciting charge carriers in the metal-semiconductor-metal interface using ultrafast laser pulses it is possible to create current pulses with duration of femtoseconds and their direction can be controlled via shaping the laser field. At Wigner Research Center we offer a master thesis topic studying this effect. The master degree candidate would learn operating ultrafast lasers and get familiar with fundamental techniques related to them. Next, the candidate would have an opportunity to develop and carry out own experiment with optoelectronic samples. There is a possibility for theoretically oriented students to participate as well and work on related computer models or data processing.
