[Neutron] PhD position announcement

[Press CERIC-ERIC]

*Open PhD position (f/m)**
**University of Duisburg-Essen (Germany)**
**Faculty of Physics*

In the framework of DFG-funded project “Spin dynamics in laterally 
patterned magnetic landscapes” we are looking for PhD candidate for 
investigation of magnetization dynamics in nanostructures with 
ferromagnetic/paramagnetic (FM/PM) interfaces.

*The tasks of PhD student will include:*

  * Thin film fabrication using magnetron sputtering, nanostructuring
    with electron beam lithography and ion irradiation;
  * Magnetic characterization using magnetometry, magnetic microscopy
    imaging, micromagnetic simulations;
  * Ferromagnetic resonance study of thin film bilayers and laterally
    patterned magnetic landscapes.

The three-year research program is to be realized in collaboration with 
the University of Augsburg (Germany) and the Technical Federal 
University Santa Maria (Chile). We aim to understand the complex effect 
of structural disorder-induced magnetization patterns on the dynamic 
magnetic properties of embedded nanostructures with periodical FM/PM 
interfaces, addressing multi-magnon scattering, spin pumping at magnetic 
interfaces as well as various magnonic effects.

*Profile:*
Master or equivalent degree in Physics with magnetism background is 
required. Experience in thin film deposition, fabrication of 
nanostructures as well as knowledge about ferromagnetic resonance 
technique and magnetization dynamics in nanostructures are advantageous 
(but not obligatory).

Duration of contract: 3 years
Salary: equivalent to 0.75 x TVöD E13 (about 4125 € gros per month)
Start of position: as soon as candidate is found

Applications and questions should be sent to:
Dr. Anna Semisalova (project leader) anna.semisalova at uni-due.de
or Prof. Michael Farle (group leader) sabina.grubba at uni-due.de

University of Duisburg-Essen, Faculty of Physics
