Doctoral Student (f/m/d) for the Investigation of Quantum Magnets
Reference No.: QM 2024/6
The Institute of Quantum Phenomena in Novel Materials undertakes world leading research in quantum and frustrated magnetism, multifunctional materials and superconductivity. As well as operating several X-ray instruments at the BESSY II synchrotron, we also host the Core Laboratory for Quantum Materials which offers state-of-the-art materials synthesis and the full range of sample characterization facilities including X-ray Laue and powder diffraction, magnetization, specific heat and transport measurements. Neutron scattering experiments performed at external facilities are also a major activity and we interpret our data via extensive collaboration with colleagues performing theoretical calculations. As a doctoral student in our team, you would study quantum materials, with particular emphasis on quantum and topological magnets. Recent research has brought to light exotic phases and excitations such as classical and quantum spin ice which host monopoles and new forms of topological orders such as spin liquids with spinon excitations. These phenomena will be investigated by identifying materials that exhibit these properties and using the experimental techniques of physical property measurement and neutron and X-ray scattering to study their behaviour.
Your Tasks
* You perform neutron scattering and synchrotron X-ray experiments to explore the structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of quantum magnets. * You measure macroscopic physical properties using various laboratory techniques such as magnetization and heat capacity. * You develop an understanding of the underlying magnetic processes through complex data analysis and computer simulations. * You work in close collaboration with theoretical physicists to test models and develop new insights. Your Profile
* Bachelor's degree in physics * Master’s degree / diploma in condensed matter physics * Good knowledge in the field of magnetism Your Benefits
* Work as part of an international team with highly motivated colleagues * Access to state-of-the-art research infrastructure * Possibilities of collaboration and exchange within the Helmholtz association and beyond * Work in the research environment of the science metropolis Berlin * Flexible work hours, mobile working up to three days/week and 30 days paid leave * Comprehensive counselling services for family and career * Health management and company sports programs * Continuing education opportunities * A company pension scheme (VBL) * Financial support for public transport (Deutschlandticket Job) Fixed term contract for 48 months. The salary is based on the Collective Agreement for the German Public Service (TVöD-Bund).
