[Neutron] PhD student position in Characterisation of Self-Assembled Nanoparticles using Neutron scattering and Magnetic Measurements, Uppsala University

[avorobiev]

Dear colleagues,

We open PhD student position in Characterisation of Self-Assembled 
Nanoparticles using Neutron scattering and Magnetic Measurements. The 
project is financed by the SSF training school SwedNESS with the aim to 
train PhD students in neutron scattering to utilise the European 
Spallation Source (ESS). ESS is a European consortium for research 
infrastructure and a cross-disciplinary research facility based on the 
world’s most powerful neutron source that is under construction in Lund. 
Within the project we will study collective magnetic properties of 
mesocrystals, which can be described as ordered materials where the 
building blocks are nanoparticles with e.g. spherical or cubic 
morphology. We plan to mainly use the neutron reflectometer Super ADAM 
at the Institute Laue Langevin in Grenoble which is operated by Uppsala 
University to study the connection between magnetism and mesocrystal 
structure. Other techniques that will be used are magnetometry (SQUID 
and VSM) as well as atomic/magnetic force microscopy (AFM/MFM).

The project is a collaboration between the Departments of Materials 
Science and Engineering and Physics and Astronomy at Uppsala University 
and Super ADAM at the Institute Laue Langevin (ILL) in Grenoble.

We would be grateful if you could share this opportunity with your 
students and others who may be interested.
