New materials for solar cells
We have a vacancy for a PhD student to work on the synthesis and characterisation of new materials for solar cells. Hybrid lead halide perovskites are attracting considerable interest due to their potential as photovoltaic materials for solar cells with very high efficiencies. Read more
Coherent Cherenkov diffraction radiation for longitudinal electron beam profile measurements
John Adams Institute (JAI) for Accelerator Science offers a PhD opportunity in the area of advanced instrumentation, in particular, development of beyond state-of-the-art non-invasive longitudinal electron bunch profile monitor based on coherent Cherenkov diffraction radiation for advanced Free Electron Laser facilities and future electron-positron linear colliders.

Novel physics in 2D materials probed in optical spectroscopy with deep sub-diffraction resolution: PhD at the new state-of-the-art £1.5M spectroscopy centre in Sheffield
Atomically-thin layers of two-dimensional (2D) materials can be assembled in vertical stacks (called ‘heterostructures’), which are held together by relatively weak van der Waals forces, allowing for coupling between monolayer crystals with arbitrary lattice constants and mutual rotation, or ‘twist’.

Development of non-destructive evaluation methods for the determination of machining deformation of high-performance Ni-based superalloys
An exciting interdisciplinary opportunity at the cutting-edge of academia and industry working across both the Materials Science and Engineering department and the renowned Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre and making use of world leading large scale national and international facilities for synchrotron diffraction.

New Materials for Solid-State Batteries
Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries are widely used in mobile applications. However, concerns about the availability of lithium and cobalt raw materials suggest alternative materials may be needed in future large-scale applications. Read more
Crystallography of disorder in mixed-anion materials
A PhD studentship is available in the group of Dr James Cumby (School of Chemistry, The University of Edinburgh;. www.cumby.chem.ed.ac.uk. Read more
Hydroacoustic Metamaterials for Focusing and Filtering of Underwater Sound. (CDT in Metamaterials, PhD in Physics/Engineering)
Primary Location. Centre for Metamaterials Research and Innovation. , Physics Building, Streatham Campus, Devon, University of Exeter. Read more
Development of novel III-V semiconductors for optoelectronic devices
The project will be based on III-V semiconductors materials and devices. It will start with the basic understanding of material physics by familiarisation of ultra-high vacuum (UHV) growth technique and in-situ characterization and simulation of the electronic structure of the group III-Arsenide/Antimonide/Nitride).

Unravelling the Giant Piezoelectric Effect in ferroics under in situ external stimuli using Diffuse Multiple Scattering
Unravelling the Giant Piezoelectric Effect in ferroics under in situ external stimuli using Diffuse Multiple Scattering. Full project details. Read more
PhD Studentship in Physical Crystallography of Advanced Inorganic Materials
This studentship will remain open until the position has been filled and so early applications are encouraged. Single crystals of functional materials can provide a wealth of structural and physical information to the materials chemist that is unavailable or hard to obtain from polycrystalline samples.
