PhD at FZJ, High-res. time-resolved microstructural evolution under ion irradiation via TEM

Grenoble, France ESRF - The European Synchrotron Temps plein

Overview Context & Job Description: Thesis subject: High-Resolution Time-Resolved Microstructural Evolution Under Ion Irradiation using transmission electron microscopy. In situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) provides insights into microstructure–property relationships in materials under stimuli close to operational conditions. Applications span energy-related, aerospace and nuclear fields where materials are exposed to ion irradiation. Real-time observations of material evolution during ion interactions are essential to understand transient processes and defect dynamics for designing advanced materials. PhD project: Leverage Dynamic TEM (DTEM) to visualize irreversible microstructural changes in real time, capturing transformations on nanosecond to microsecond timescales with near-atomic spatial resolution. The project will explore high-energy ion-induced atomic displacement cascades and ultrafast atomic rearrangements, with implications for predicting and mitigating detrimental effects in materials. It will also investigate fast transitions that influence glass transition, recrystallization and rejuvenation in amorphous metals. Experiments will aim to reproduce real-world conditions by integrating temperature, atmosphere, humidity and laser illumination. Ion irradiation will be controlled by tuning isotope, energy, flux and flow. The Ernst Ruska-Centre for Microscopy and Spectroscopy with Electrons (ER-C) at Forschungszentrum Jülich will host the project in collaboration with ETH Zurich. ER-C houses state-of-the-art electron microscopes enabling high-resolution studies with exceptional spatial, energy and time resolution. The project is carried out with the Laboratory of Metal Physics and Technology (LMPT) at ETH Zurich, with extended stays at ETH Zurich for additional expertise and instrumentation (ScopeM). Responsibilities Displacement cascade evolution and tracking of microstructural evolution and defect dynamics under ion irradiation. Investigating phase transitions under irradiation and applying advanced image processing to analyse low-dose TEM data. Supporting simulations of displacement-cascade formation and microstructural evolution by molecular dynamics, kinetic Monte Carlo and kinetic rate theory to complement experiments. Collaborating with host and partner institutions, and contributing to dissemination of findings. Beyond ion irradiation, the project will explore how laser illumination and mechanical forces influence microstructural stability. Qualifications The ideal candidate has hands-on TEM experience, TEM specimen preparation, image processing skills, and programming experience (Python, MATLAB or similar). Knowledge of metal defects, phase transitions, and radiation effects in materials is desirable, as is experience with ion-irradiation processes. Degree allowing enrolment for a PhD (e.g., MSc, Master 2 de Recherche, Laurea or equivalent) in chemistry, materials science, physics or related field. Minimum degree level may vary between universities. Proof of diploma at the time of application; the European Commission/MSCA may consider an eligible student if an official certificate confirms completion of the degree later. Proficiency in English (proof of upper-intermediate B2 level required; native English speakers are exempt; an official English-language degree also suffices). If proof cannot be provided, an English test may be requested. Compliance with the Marie Sklodowska-Curie mobility rule: candidates must not have resided or carried out their main activity in the host institute’s country for more than twelve months in the three years preceding the application deadline (31/03/2026). All researchers recruited must be doctoral candidates and not yet holding a doctoral degree at the time of recruitment. Must satisfy conditions for enrolment in a doctoral programme. Working conditions For this 3-year PhD project, the successful candidate will be enrolled in the doctoral school at RWTH Aachen and based at Forschungszentrum Jülich, with a secondment of at least three months at ETH Zurich. A pedagogical training programme will be offered during the PhD.
