Job Code: 03.26
Job Offer from January 10, 2026Student Assistant (holding a Bachelor’s degree) - Aberration-Corrected Lithography for Nanoscale Patterning
We offer a Student Assistant position at the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research. The research will be conducted at the Stuttgart Center for Electron Microscopy (StEM) led by Prof. Dr. Peter A. van Aken.
This project aims to fabricate plasmonic nanostructures directly on suspended two-dimensional (2D) material membranes using electron beam lithography. In contrast to conventional electron beam lithography performed in a scanning electron microscope (SEM), the patterning will be carried out in an aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM).
The optical properties of plasmonic nanostructures fabricated on 2D materials will be investigated using electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) in a monochromated STEM. The electron microscopy experiments will be conducted at the Stuttgart Center for Electron Microscopy (StEM).
