Duties: The focus of the research project is the investigation of static and dynamic properties of magnetically ordered systems utilizing laser-based magneto-optic effects, such as Kerr and Faraday. The research will delve into the realms of magnetism in diverse metal/semiconductor heterostructures and the impact of spin diffusion on ultra-fast magnetism phenomena. Experimental activities will be conducted using a setup that generates high-order (XUV) harmonics of an infrared high-power laser, yielding short pulses in the tens-of-femtoseconds range. Such radiation can be precisely tuned at the M and N absorption edges of various transition metal and rare-earth compounds, enabling element-sensitive, time-resolved investigations of complex magnetic materials, in response to electronic and crystal excitations
Requirements: PhD in the field of physics, physical chemistry, materials, or a related discipline; requirements for election to the title of assistant at the University of Nova Gorica; have good command of the English language
