Electronic Science and Technology: Fully Funded PhD Studentship In High Sensitivity Spintronic Sensors

Swansea University - Electronic Science and Technology

Qualification Type: PhD
Location: Swansea
Funding for: UK Students
Funding amount: £19,237 for 2024/25
Hours: Full Time
Placed On: 14th February 2025
Closes: 24th February 2025
Reference: RS781

With the ongoing advancements in artificial intelligence and smart systems, the demand for high-sensitivity sensors is increasing. Traditional sensing mechanisms can no longer meet the requirements of emerging applications. Beyond conventional physical and chemical sensors, spintronic sensors make use of changes in electron spins under external stimuli to make accurate measurements, offering sensitivity that surpasses traditional sensors by several orders of magnitude. Many spintronic sensors are based on defects within micro- and nanostructured or two-dimensional van der Waals (vdW) materials. These sensors have found extensive applications in fields such as quantum computing, information technology, biosensing, microwave and magnetic field detection, and more. 

In this PhD project, building on the research group’s previous work, the student will conduct pioneering research in spintronic sensors, ranging from fundamental simulations of material properties using density functional theory to the characterization and integration of materials into functional sensing systems.
