    Post-doc : Interaction of helium plasmas with tungsten surfaces in the context of controlled thermonuclear fusion
    Announcement date: 22 November 2024 - Deadline for application: 22 November 2025

    [show details]

    Description

    The evolution of the tungsten microstructure and properties under helium irradiation could cause problems for both operational and safety reasons in fusion reactors. In particular, the presence of helium bubbles, formed mainly in the subsurface area, modifies the mechanical and retention properties of radioactive elements.

    The aim of the proposed experimental work is to study the properties of tungsten under He irradiation and, more specifically, to quantify the Helium trapped in nano-bubbles formed. The first stages in the formation of He bubbles in the W, their dynamics and evolution under the effect of thermal cycles will be analyzed at micro- and nanometric scales. Experimental techniques such as transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM, STEM/EELS, electron tomography), atomic force microscopy, optical measurements as well as plasma implantation experiments will be implemented by the candidate.

    Requirements

    Solid knowledge of materials characterization. Extensive (practical) experience in TEM characterization is essential. Knowledge of nuclear fusion, and/or solid state physics, and/or plasma physics would be appreciated too.

     This exciting project is part of an interdisciplinary and highly collaborative research effort. We work closely with the group of Prof. Roland A. Fischer (Chair of Inorganic and Organometallic Chemistry) at the Technical University of Munich (Germany). Together, we will investigate fundamental questions about the structure-property relationships of functional metal nanoclusters (embedded in microporous crystalline frameworks) for various Power-to-X applications. 

    Our collaborators at TUM focus on the atom-precise design of materials, while at DTU, you will develop concepts to characterize these fascinating 3D inorganic/organic nanostructures at the atomic level.

    This is your chance to push the boundaries of chemical and materials science and make discoveries that could redefine the field.

    Deadline for application: 15. December 2024 

    Requirements

    Candidates must hold a Master degree in physics, chemistry, chemical engineering, materials science, or a related discipline.
