Job opportunities
The Collaborative Research Center CRC 1143 has successfully accomplished the first funding period in 2018 and has been extended for the second funding period 2019–2022.
In the following projects possitions are to be filled:
B03 Synthesis of magnetic layered materials is looking for a
Research Associate / Postdoc (m/f).
The project under supervision by Prof. Dr. Michael Ruck (Chair of Inorganic Chemistry II) is currently investigating compounds with triangular or honeycomb networks decorated with magnetically active cations, e.g., which are discussed as candidates for quantum spin liquids. In addition, crystals of other potential magnetically frustrated materials are grown and extensively characterised. The work includes: identification of suitable compounds and their phase-pure synthesis, crystal growth, elucidation of the crystal structures and chemical characterization. In cooperation with project partners in experimental physics, measurements of thermodynamic and transport properties, neutron and electron spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance studies are carried out. Cooperation with the theory enables the analysis of chemical bonding and the calculation of thermodynamic and transport properties. The detailed job advertisment can be found here.
C01 Thermodynamics and spin-lattice interaction in high magnetic fields is looking for a
PhD student (m/f).
The PhD student will perform measurements of the magnetostriction and thermal expansion as well as the magnetization of new magnetically frustrated materials in static and pulsed fields at very low temperatures (T = 10 mK – 1 K). Therefore, the knowledge of cryogenic techniques is desirable. In addition to the experiments, simulation calculations with simple models of magnetic interactions ("mean-field") have to be realized. The work is carried out alternately at the TU Dresden and in the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf. For further information please contact Prof. Joachim Wosnitza and PD Dr. Mathias Dörr.
