Subject: Post-Doc position for the in situ nanostructure growth
experimental end station INS on the synchrotron beamline BM32 ESRF/CEA Grenoble
Description
The INS instrument of the
BM32/Interfaces synchrotron beamline at the ESRF is dedicated to in situ
growth of semiconductor and metal nanostructures. It uses hard x-rays in the
energy regime from 7 to 30 keV, to follow fundamental aspects of epitaxial
growth of nanostructures employing grazing incidence small angle x-ray
scattering (GISAXS) and grazing incidence diffraction (GID), in situ,
during the growth. Its
highly versatile growth chamber can be equipped with several solid source
evaporators for metals and semiconductors, as well as with gas sources of
(di)silane and (di)germane for UHV Chemical Vapor Deposition catalytic growth
of nanowires.
Your main research subject will
be centered on the investigation of the structural properties of Si and/or Ge
nanowires during their growth by UHV-CVD, but you will also be associated, in
the framework of project funded by the French Research agency, to the second
main in house research subject, focused on epitaxial graphene on metallic
surfaces; its moirés and organized magnetic nanoparticles on them.
Your will share
your time between a research activity on the above subjects and a role of local
contact on the growth chamber and the beamline.
You will be employed for one year
– renewable one more year- by the CEA-Grenoble who is running the Beamline BM32
at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) in Grenoble.
The ESRF is one of the brightest
x-ray sources in the world and a research site shared with several other major
European scientific institutes. It offers a highly dynamic, exciting and
multinational working environment in the French Alps.
Qualification/ Experience
The candidate should hold a PhD degree in Physics or
Chemistry and have some experience with complex instrumental environment and
epitaxial growth methods; preferentially UHV-CVD or CBE.
A background in the use of X-ray diffraction or other
scattering methods will be an advantage.
