Open positions/Bachelor and Masters Projects
In collaboration with Tom Fennell (LNS, Center for Neutron and Muon Science, PSI), three SNF funded PhDs in Physics/Materials science experiment and theory on the topic of "Magnetism in Correlated Disorder" will begin next year. The individual projects are:
- Experimental PhD: New charge ices in the AMM’F6 family: grow and characterize crystals of such materials to give access to different aspects of the structural disorder, and to contrasting quantum and classical spin systems and electronic materials with strongly correlated bond disorder.
- Theory/Simulation PhD: Spin nematic order in magnetic charge ices: investigate how internal heterogeneous strains within CsNiCrF6 and relatives affect magnetism and the recently discovered first order nematic phase transition.
- Experimental/Theory/Simulation PhD: Anomalous thermal transport in charge ice: use DFT to determine the thermal conductivity for model systems large enough to capture correlated disorder. Inelastic neutron scattering measurements will be used to substantiate the results of the theoretical investigation.
