Student Projects (B.Sc./M.Sc./FP-Project)
B.Sc./M.Sc./FP-Project
Supervisor: Lorenzo Tesi
Goal: Determine the influence of plasmonic structures on the resulting HF-EPR spectra for different magnetic samples.
Methods:
- Sample preparation includes spin-coating or dropcast approaches;
- Magnetic characterization by cw-EPR, HF-EPR and THz transmission measurements;
- Data analysis with Python, Origin or Matlab;
B.Sc./M.Sc./FP-Project
Supervisor: Lorenzo Tesi or Lukas Bauder
Goal: Use self-assembling and click reaction strategies to prepare a monolayer of molecular spin qubits on surface
Methods:
- Sample preparation, which might include synthesis of new ligands or molecular units;
- Magnetic and spectroscopic characterization by cw-EPR, FTIR and others;
- Data analysis with Python, Origin or Matlab;
B.Sc./M.Sc./FP-Project
Supervisor: Lorenzo Tesi
Goal: Design new metasurfaces to increase the magnetic field enhancement by optimizing the geometry and antennas parameters using numerical simulations
Methods:
- Numerical simulations by CST Microwave Studio software;
- Characterization of the fabricated metasurfaces by THz spectroscopy;
- Data analysis with Python;
B.Sc./M.Sc./FP-Project
Supervisor: Lorenzo Tesi or Lukas Bauder
Goal: Explore the potential of two-dimensional (2D) metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as platforms for molecular spin qubits.
Methods:
- Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) Spectroscopy;
- SQUID magnetometry;
- Data analysis with Python, Origin, or Matlab;
- Applications with further techniques can occur depending on the specific project.
