Beschreibung

The mission of the Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung is to understand and design nanostructured materials down to atomic and electronic scales.

In this spirit, we conduct basic research on structural and functional materials, mostly metallic alloys, embracing synthesis and processing, characterization and properties, as well as their response in engineering components exposed to real environmental conditions.

We work interdisciplinary, with intense mutual stimulation among experimentalists and theoreticians as well as among different groups and departments.

We are looking for a student who can conduct aMaster thesis (f/m/div) on Synthesis and characterization of nanoporous Ru from Ru-Ti thin films
69 months depending on the university requirementsYour tasks
Optimization of the dealloying process of Ru-Ti films for the synthesis of nanoporous Ru.
Characterization of the asdeposited films and nanoporous structure via scanning electron microscope (SEM), electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and energydispersive Xray (EDS) analyses.
Electrochemical characterization of the nanoporous thin films.
Characterization of the local chemistry via atom probe tomography (APT).
Participation in or leading the writing of scientific journal articles based on the results.

Profile:

Master student in Material Science, Nanoscience/ Nanotechnology, Chemistry, or related fields
Prior experience in electrochemistry is preferred. Knowledge of electron microscopy is highly welcome but not necessarily required.
Excellent written and oral English skills.
Interest in acquiring new skills and aptitude for problemsolving.

What we offer

Our department investigates the fundamentals of the relations between synthesis, microstructure and properties of complex nanostructured materials, with an emphasis on materials for the energy transition. We offer a dynamic and stimulating research environment and access to stateoftheart infrastructure.
Your position: The duration of the Master thesis is coupled with the requirements of your university. You will be supervised directly by Dr. Aparna Saksena and integrated in the research group of Prof. Baptiste Gault.Salary
