Scholarship Open for International Students: Norwegian and international students can apply for this research fellowship.
Scholarship Description: The primary objective of SALIENT is to develop and explore the functionality of unconventional semiconducting alloys based on oxide semiconductors. Oxide semiconductors, like zinc oxide (ZnO), are attractive as optoelectronic materials with applications ranging from solar cells and light emitting devices to power electronics and water splitting. However, it is challenging to exploit all their attractive inherent properties and full use in solid state devices, like solar cells and light emitting diodes. However, combined with a more mature technology, like gallium nitride (GaN), ZnO can overcome several of its major challenges. In fact, the tuning possibility of functional properties may exceed that of the parent semiconductors by unconventional alloying, like anion incorporation. Hence, the PhD project aims at investigating the physics of unconventional alloying of oxides (with emphasis on ZnO), and is an application motivated basic research project within semiconductor and solid state physics.
