Epsilon Near Zero (ENZ) Materials for Enhancing Perovskite\/QD Thin Film Emission<\/span><\/h2>\n

Location: Leuven, Belgium | Organization: Imec \u2013 Interuniversity Microelectronics Centre<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Imec, one of the world\u2019s leading nanotechnology R&D centers, invites motivated Master\u2019s students to explore ENZ metamaterials such as indium tin oxide (ITO) and aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO). This project investigates their tunability for enhancing emission response in perovskite and QD thin films, combining optical simulation with experimental nanophotonic research.<\/span><\/p>\n

About the Project<\/span><\/h3>\n

This research project focuses on Epsilon-Near-Zero (ENZ) materials, an emerging class of metamaterials whose dielectric permittivity approaches zero at specific frequencies. This property enables light manipulation at the nanoscale, leading to exciting possibilities in photonics and optoelectronics.<\/span><\/p>\n

Conductive oxides such as ITO and AZO exhibit tunable ENZ behavior based on carrier concentration, allowing spectral alignment with the emission or absorption peaks of materials like perovskites and quantum dots (QDs). This feature provides an active way to control light extraction, beam shaping, and color tuning \u2014 crucial for next-generation nanophotonic devices, including LEDs, lasers, and photodetectors.<\/span><\/p>\n
