such as high temperature (and unconventional) superconductivity, ‘colossal’ magnetoresistance,
all forms of magnetism and ferroelectricity, as well as (quantum) phase transitions and couplings
between these states. Oxygen vacancies and defects play a crucial role in tuning the physical
properties of these systems and controlling and manipulating them provides a degree of freedom
for harvesting and tailoring their functionalities.Requirements
The ideal PhD candidate shall have a Master Degree in Physics, Chemistry or Materials Science,
previous experience with electron microscopy techniques, high drive to work independently in an

University of York - School of Physics Engineering and Technology
York, United Kingdom
3-year postdoc position in experimental 4D-STEM
Announcement date: 05 June 2023 - Deadline for application: 22 June 2023Description
The resolution of images obtained in the scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) is typically not limited by the instrument resolution, but by the stability of the sample. Many important materials are unstable under the electron beam and easily damaged, causing a blurred image. The aim of this research is to develop, implement and apply new dose-efficient 4D-STEM imaging methods, based around existing algorithms for electron ptychography to improve imaging of beam-sensitive materials.
Requirements
Specifically, the role holder will develop and install novel apertures for the STEM, based on image simulations to improve achievable contrast at low electron dose. They will perform 4D-STEM experiments, using a pixelated detector (primary instrument: new JEOL Neoarm with Merlin detector), to collect and analyse data for ptychographic analyses.
