NTNU NanoLab
NTNU NanoLab
NTNU NanoLab is one of four cleanrooms within the national infrastructure, "The Norwegian Micro- and Nanofabrication Facility", NorFab. The facility is open for students and scientists at NTNU, as well as external researchers and start-up companies.
NTNU NanoLab is run by a staff of 9 engineers and operated according to hands-on principles. The infrastructure has a 700 m2 cleanroom with cleanliness ranging from ISO7 to ISO5 and vibration reduced zones at VCF-level. The cleanroom is also built according to GMO laboratory class 2 requirements.
Vacant positions
PhD position - in Physics and Nanotechnology(Deadline 23.11.2025)
PhD position - in Physics and Nanotechnology(Deadline 23.11.2025)
This PhD position is within the field of experimental materials physics and nanotechnology, in the project «Nanoscale imaging of magnetic skyrmion dynamics in thin film devices» (NIMSKY). Magnetic skyrmions are nanoscale stable magnetic quasiparticles which move when a current is applied. This process requires very little electrical power, which makes skyrmion devices contenders for future low-power computation. However, due to their small size and magnetic nature, skyrmions are difficult to image, especially while moving due to an electric current.
The aim is to both generate and study such magnetic skyrmions, by depositing nanostructured thin film materials and then making highly customizable in-situ chips using the back etching technique at NTNU NanoLab. These chips will then be used to perform in-situ magnetic nanocharacterization at the Trondheim Node of NORTEM – the national infrastructure for advanced Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). The ultimate goal is to perform in-operando studies in the TEM on functioning nanostructured skyrmion thin film devices.
