Doctoral Position in topochemical tuning of layered oxides
100%, Zurich, fixed-term print Drucken
The newly established Solid-State Materials Chemistry Group at the Laboratory of Inorganic Chemistry, Department of Chemistry and Applied Biosciences (D-CHAB), ETH Zurich, is seeking a highly motivated Doctoral Position.
- Doctoral Position in topochemical tuning of layered oxides
- 100%, Zurich, fixed-term print Drucken
Processus de candidature
- Our long-term goal is to develop materials with potential for technology transfer to semiconductor and photonic industries, as well as energy conversion and storage applications. Project background
- Low-temperature chemical reactions (i.e., soft-chemistry) can drive topochemical transformations that modify the composition and structure of an existing solid while preserving its overall crystal framework.
- Layered perovskite oxides are particularly suited to this approach because their interlayer regions are chemically accessible, while the functional perovskite-derived slabs can remain intact.
- Changing the interlayer chemistry can alter crystal symmetry, give rise to charge discontinuities and structural distortions, providing a way to control functionality in solids, e.g. magnetic order, ferroelectric polarization configuration, electronic and ionic transport.
- In this experimental Doctoral project, you will develop topochemical modifications of functional layered perovskites, working primarily with thin films and, where appropriate, single crystals and nanoparticles.
- Post-synthetic tuning, such as ion exchange, intercalation, redox reactions, will be used to access reversible property changes that are difficult to obtain by conventional high-temperature synthesis.
- The broader aim is to establish how topochemical transformations can reconfigure distinct electronic, magnetic, and dipolar states, enabling on-demand functionality for future memory, logic, and sensing applications. Job description
- Preparing layered oxide precursors as thin films (pulsed-laser deposition), single crystals (e.g., floating zone method) or nanoparticles (e.g., hydrothermal synthesis)
