PhD Student on ID20 RIXS interferometry at K edges of transition metal ligands

il y a 2 jours


Grenoble, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France ESRF - The European Synchrotron Temps plein

Context & Job Description
ID20 is dedicated to the study of electronic and magnetic excitations in matter using resonant and non-resonant inelastic X-ray scattering as well as emission spectroscopy. The main scientific activities comprise the investigation of strongly correlated electron systems, functional materials, and the study of matter at extreme conditions.

You will join a collaboration between the ESRF, the University of Cologne, and Politecnico Milano to develop and use RIXS interferometry at ligand K-edges, e.g. the p-block elements As, Se, and Br, in order to investigate new 3d- and 4d Mott and Cluster Mott insulators. The project will represent a significant step towards the use of RIXS interferometry for the study of correlated many-body systems.

Further information may be obtained from Dr. Christoph Sahle (tel.: ; email: ), Prof. Markus Grüninger ) and Prof. Marco Moretti )

Expected profile

  • Degree allowing enrollment for a PhD (such as MSc, Master 2 de Recherche, Laurea or equivalent) in physics
  • A background in solid state physics is highly recommended
  • Aptitudes in programming (Python) are a plus
  • Proficiency in English (working language at the ESRF)
