Objective
Applicants are invited for a 12 month term as a research fellow supported by individual fellowships of the Marie Curie fellowship scheme. The successful candidates will be involved in the synthesis and processing of novel nanostructured materials and composites for soft magnets (Finemet-type) and hard magnets (FeNdB-type), as well as with the investigation of their microstructure, magnetic, and diffusional properties. The gas-phase condensation technique with subsequent compaction under high pressure is used for the production of highly dense nanocrystalline materials. Basic material characterization will be carried out by x-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, optical microscopy, and atomic resolution electron microscopy (HRTEM). In addition, several instruments for characterization of magnetic materials are available. These experimental techniques allow the investigation of a number of phenomena, including: order-disorder transformations, transformation kinetics, phase transitions, and relaxation processes. Furthermore, diffusion studies using the radioactive tracer technique are carried out to study the atomic transport properties in nanocrystaline structures, which deviate significantly from bulk and grain boundary diffusion processes studied so far. The candidate has to satisfy the basic criteria of the training scheme as outlined on the Marie Curie Host Fellowship Web site http://cordis.europa.eu/improving(opens in new window). As the fellowship forms part of a higher degree project, the candidates should be registered full-time Ph.D. research student in a well-recognized institution of the EC. The research interest of the candidates should be in at least one of the following fields: solid state physics, materials science including synthesis and characterization of materials, mechanical and magnetic properties of advanced materials, and structural studies. The group closely cooperates with the Max-Planck-Institut fur Metallforschung, Stuttgart. This collaborative character of the research training provides an additional international profile to the education of the fellows increasing their chances to get in touch and eventually to actively collaborate with research institutions in different European countries.
