The Scholarships for College basic aim is to develop a theoretical methodology and use it to calculate electronic transport properties and the effect of electronic current at the atomic scale in nano-conductors. In this project we especially wish to focus on the current-induced excited atomic dynamics in molecular-scale contacts.Our target is to model and predict the outcome of concrete experimental situations using first principles calculations based on density functional theory and non-equilibrium Greens function techniques.A Scholarships for College strong background (MSc. or comparable qualification) in theoretical physics, chemistry, or materials science is a prerequisite for the employment. Previous experience with theoretical nano-science, solid-state physics, quantum chemistry, and scientific computing represents an advantage.
The PhD Scholarships for College is subject to academic approval and the candidate will be enrolled in one of the general degree programmes of DTU. For information about the general requirements for enrolment and the general planning of the scholarship studies.
