Leveraging Ferromagnetism in Superconducting Electronics

We are inviting applications for a PhD scholarship in a project across the Paihau-Robinson Research Institute and School of Chemical and Physical Sciences, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. The project, led by Prof. Ben Ruck and Dr Simon Granville, focuses on the incorporation of rare-earth nitride materials in superconducting electronics, especially to fill the gap in available cryogenic memory technology. The candidate will undertake fundamental materials science and device research, encompassing experimental and computational studies of the electronic and magnetic properties of the rare-earth nitrides and the design, modelling, and fabrication of memory structures and circuits with applications in superconducting and quantum computing.
