Freie Universität Berlin

Department for Physics - Institute for experimental physics

In the ERC-funded project CASTLe (https://www.castle.unifi.it) we aim at a fundamental understanding of chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS) and investigate potential applications in quantum technology. The team consists of four PIs at Universita degli Studi di Firenze, Northwestern University, Universita degli Studi di Parma and Freie Universität Berlin together with partners at Weizmann Institute of Science and Universita degli Studi di Torino, and the Consorzio interuniversitario nazionale per la Sciencia e Technologia dei Material. The specific contribution of the Berlin group concerns electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy (EPR) and electrically detected magnetic resonance (EDMR) to probe spin selectivity in photoinduced electron transfer (PET) processes. The post doctoral fellow will have experience in EPR and actively develop EPR/EMDR as well on the instrumentation as the analysis side towards using CISS for molecular qbit control. The researcher will also be associated with the new Cluster of Excellence Center for Chiral Electronics (CCE, https://www.chiralelectronics.de).
