PhD position at Aarhus University (Denmark).
Deadline: August 01.2021
Atom-Level Structure of New Materials for Future Memory Technology
Aarhus University, Dept. of Chemistry, invites applications for a fully funded PhD position. The goal of this PhD project is to investigate the atomic motion of phase-change materials to understand their effects on the phase switching behaviors for data storage devices. Phase-change materials are at the cutting edge of material research for non-volatile memories and neuromorphic computing. The materials such as GeSbTe can be rapidly and reversibly switched between their amorphous and crystalline states within a few nanoseconds. The two states can be encoded as “0” and “1” for fast data storage applications. The greatest challenge is to understand the key physical factors that determine the phase switching kinetics in the materials. The project involves materials synthesis of both thin films and bulk samples. It will characterize the diffusion and structural relaxation of atomic rearrangements. It uses the state-of-the-art characterizations such as X-ray diffractions, electron microscope, calorimetry, and spectroscopy. Particularly, it takes advantage of the latest possibilities offered by large-scale facilities for neutron and synchrotron X-ray scattering at DESY (Hamburg), MLZ (Munich), MAXIV (Lund), ESRF (Grenoble), SLAC (Stanford), etc., to study the atomic scale pictures. These understandings will drive the materials innovations for data storage technologies and memory device applications.

Why to apply?
Full scholarship will be provided including full salary in Danish standard, work benefit, and study fees. The PhD candidate will become an expert in materials structure and properties and obtain a PdD degree from a well-respected world-top university. She/he will work in an inspired international environment and have opportunities of international research stays as well as attending international conferences. The candidate will benefit from strong international collaborations and work (and network) with top scholars around the world.
Qualifications and specific competences:
Applicants to the PhD position should have a Master’s degree, or in the process of gaining a Master degree, in chemistry, materials science, physics, or related fields. The candidate should have strong interest in hands-on experiments, materials synthesis, and data analysis. Some background or experience with (neutron or x-rays) diffraction techniques would be appreciated. Experiences of working with amorphous materials, liquids, and thermodynamic properties are a bonus. She/he should have a high degree of motivation and can work independently. Good communication skills and teamwork spirit are required. The candidate should speak and write fluent English.
