PhD student in Plasma / Thin Films / Surface Science / Catalysis
The PhD work concerns experimental studies of plasma material interactions for future fusion facilities, such as ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor). Reduction of the plasma heat load on tungsten by introducing nitrogen lead via the catalytic reaction to the formation of ammonia.
Your tasks
Using plasma reactors and ion sources, you will investigate the catalytic processes and the helium modified surface. Vacuum coating technique will be used to deposit thin films, samples will be characterized by photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Energy Dispersive X-Ray Analysis (EDXA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and optical characterization.
Your profile
We seek a highly motivated individual who enjoys working in a small interdisciplinary team of scientists with different backgrounds. A diploma or master’s degree in materials science, physics, nanoscale science or related field is expected. Experience in one of the methods mentioned above is highly desirable but could be compensated by an extra effort and a high level of motivation of the candidate.
The work will focus on plasma physics, thin film deposition by physical vapor deposition (PVD) and their characterizations using various techniques (XPS, EDX, SEM). In cooperation with other institutes, additional analytical resources are available. Please submit your CV, publication list (if applicable) and a brief motivational statement why you feel you qualify for this position.
You will be registered as a PhD student at the University of Basel.
