This is an exciting opportunity to join the Superconductivity and Magnetism Group within the Department of Physics at the University of Warwick. We are seeking to appoint a Research Fellow to work on a range of materials, in particular the production of single crystals of topological magnets in a new EPSRC Funded project on “Controlling the formation and properties of topological magnetic phenomena” in partnership with the University of Durham.
The work will focus on the production of high-quality crystals of materials which have previously been identified as topological magnets including various low dimensional materials, frustrated magnets and skyrmion materials, as well as exploring new materials that exhibit this behaviour. The crystals will be grown using various techniques such as the floating zone method using optical mirror furnaces, the Czochralski method using a tetra-arc furnace, the Bridgman, flux growth and chemical vapour transport techniques. Other techniques will also be employed as required.
In addition to crystal growth, the work will also involve the characterisation of the crystals produced through measurements of their structural, magnetic and transport properties. Extensive laboratory based powder and single crystal x-ray diffraction work will be required. There will be scope for taking part in experiments at international facilities using neutron and x-ray scattering, as well as muon techniques.
About You
You should be trained in experimental solid state synthesis, synthesis of intermetallics and have experience of crystal growth and low-temperature experimental techniques.
You will be an excellent communicator capable of working effectively both independently and as part of a lively research team. You will possess excellent planning and time management skills to ensure your research objectives are achieved effectively.
The project follows on from the Warwick group’s successful involvement in the recently concluded UK Skyrmion Project (EP/N032128/1).
For further information regarding the skills required for this role please see the personal specification section of the job description.
If you are near submission or have recently submitted your PhD but have not yet had it conferred, any offers of employment will be made as Research Assistant at the top of level 5 of the University grade structure. Upon receipt of evidence of the successful award of your PhD, you will be promoted to Research Fellow on the first point of level 6 of the University grade structure.
Full details of the duties and selection criteria for this role can be found in the vacancy advert on the University of Warwick's jobs pages. You will be routed to this when you click on the Apply button.
