Structural and electronic studies of specific materials: from experiment to theory

Objective

In the framework of the Marie Curie Training Site, fellowships are available at the "Laboratoire de Cristallographie". Research projects originate from three complementary research fields: "material science", "surfaces, interfaces", "X-ray physics and new crystallographic methods". In the "material science" domain, oxides, intermetallic alloys and hybrid organic-inorganic materials are systematically investigated. They are synthesized either as bulk materials or as nanoscale ones by using high-pressure, high temperature, intense magnetic field, electrochemistry, crystal growth in solution at low and high temperatures or sol-gel chemistry. The activity of synthesis, optimization and search of new phases of functional materials concerns the fields of superconductivity, magnetism, ionic conduction, NLO and hydrogen storage. In addition, one research group, at the interface between physics and environment, develops the study of supercritical fluids and their potential use in soil and water cleaning up from dangerous heavy metals. The "surfaces, interfaces" program, mainly focus on two directions:
a) ultra thin films and metallic alloys in connection with surface magnetism and catalysis, and
b) catalytic reactivity of surfaces and metal-organic interfaces for their technological applications. Laboratory techniques as well as synchrotron radiation ones are used for this program. The "X-ray physics and new crystallographic methods" research projects concern the development of new structural methods, mainly based on x-ray resonant scattering and electron diffraction techniques, devoted to fine structural studies in connection with the development of theoretical ones. The applicant will have the opportunity to access several types of laboratory set-up dedicated to synthesis under extreme conditions and to different kinds of characterization methods. In site diffraction methods with synchrotron radiation and neutron will be available. He may also participate to the development of DAFS, X-ray resonant magnetic reflectivity or electronic diffraction coupled with microscopy applied to the study of low dimensional systems.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.
