Job description

“New Chemistry of Multifunctional Solids�

The Study Abroad Scholarships research will involve the synthesis and characterization of valence precise and hole-doped ternary transition metal fluorides containing orbitally active transition metals. The goals are: (i) to fill the gap of fundamental knowledge that we currently have in non-oxide strongly correlated electron systems (ii) to develop new methodologies for the synthesis of hole-doped transition metal fluoride phases as potential analogues of manganates and cuprates and (iii) to use a rich variety of techniques to elucidate their structural, magnetic and electronic phase diagrams. Rationalizing the electronic and magnetic behaviour and determining the performance limits of these families of materials will greatly enhance our current understanding of complex systems and the underlying mechanisms behind the occurrence of exploitable physical phenomena such as: metal-insulator transitions, electronic/magnetic phase separation, colossal magnetoresistance and multiferroism. The Study Abroad Scholarships project will provide a broad chemical training and will involve phony work, the application of modern structural and magnetic characterisation techniques and the use of advanced computational methods. The student will have the opportunity to visit and work in global laboratories and synchrotron X-ray/neutron sources worldwide.

Requirements

Study Abroad Scholarships Applicants should have a MSc. or equivalent degree in Chemistry, Crystallography, Materials Knowledge or a related field. Candidates with strong social class in inorganic materials and experience in solid state synthesis will be ideal.

The Study Abroad Scholarships purpose of the club is research training leading to the thriving completion of a doctoral degree. The club requires admission to the research training program of the Faculty of Arithmetic and Natural Sciences. An approved plot for the research training must be submitted no later than two months after taking up the position, and admission approved within three months after the date of commencement.
