Ultrafast Laser Studies of Hot Electron Photoemission Dynamics and Scanning Photoionization Microscopy (SPIM) of Plasmonic Nanostructures

Due: May 1, 2025

$82,764

Description

Efficient harnessing of solar energy represents a key challenge with significant impact on mitigating climate change. The field of plasmonics, focusing on the resonant absorption properties of metallic nanostructures, offers promising directions forward. This research opportunity involves studying the dynamics of hot electron photoemission and using ultrafast laser techniques to explore the potential applications in nanoplasmonic systems, including photochemical, photovoltaic, and optoelectronic domains.

Grantor Contact InformationDavid John Nesbitt, phone: 303.492.8857Grantor Emaildjn@jila.colorado.eduOther Grantor InformationThe NRC Research Associateship Programs (RAP) are prestigious postdoctoral and senior research awards designed to provide promising scientists and engineers with high-quality research opportunities at federal laboratories and affiliated institutions. Conducted by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Fellowships Office since 1954, these programs offer a comprehensive research experience through a rigorous selection process. The programs aim to: 1) Offer promising postdoctoral and senior scientists/engineers the chance to pursue self-directed research aligned with sponsoring laboratories' goals, 2) Enhance comprehensive research efforts of participating laboratories, 3) Provide recent doctoral graduates a platform for focused research collaboration with permanent laboratory staff, and 4) Foster professional growth by providing opportunities to gain skills, experience, and connections with leading scientists, ultimately enhancing career prospects in academia, industry, or government research roles. The programs provide mentorship, access to state-of-the-art facilities, and opportunities to influence government policy.
