Intern for the Analysis of Stakeholders' Positions on the Swiss Climate Policies (Ref-Nr. 4502-T2) Paul Scherrer Institute Paul Scherrer Institute With the necessity for ambitious climate and energy policies to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) by 2050 in Switzerland, considering opinions from civil societies, organisations, associations, industry, energy service providers, etc., becomes crucial. The internship aims to understand the drivers that influence the positions of these stakeholders concerning the proposed energy and climate laws from the Federal Council.

Hybrid interfaces between molecular and inorganic quantum materials - a route for novel applications Paul Scherrer Institute Muon Spin Spectroscopy Multilayers of molecular/inorganic quantum materials present a new approach to design systems with novel properties which cannot be achieved using alternative methods. The low cost of molecular materials, the tunability of their physical properties and long spin coherence times make them an ideal multifunctional platform for quantum computation and spintronic applications. However, their deposition in thin film layers and their hybrid interfaces with different materials, generally present a non-trivial change to their properties which can be crucial for any future application. Such systems have been the focus of intense research in recent years, in particular with regards to the properties of one side of the hybrid interface, i.e., the molecular side. This leaves the potential of discovery of new phenomena in the inorganic side largely unexplored.
