Job Description
Missions
Within the framework of the SCIAM (Science Amont Nucléaire de Fission)PEPR (Programmes et Equipements Prioritaires de Recherche) from CNRS, and in a continuation of the RAISIN project (Representativeness of Ion Irradiations to Simulate Neutron Irradiations), it is important to have suitable tools to model the evolution of the microstructure during irradiation. The aim of this work is to use an object kinetic Monte Carlo (OKMC) method to simulate ion irradiation in a Ni alloy containing a low concentration of Cr. In particular, we will focus on finding the most suitable method to accurately model implantation. To this end, we will use the database of displacement cascades in nickel and in FeNiCr alloys of different concentrations [1], established in a previous work, as well as exploratory work carried out by A. de Backer [2][3].
Activity
In collaboration with Christophe Domain of EDF and Andrée de Backer, on contract at UMET, the candidate will be required to :
- Conduct a thorough literature review on data relating to point defects and their clusters in very low-Cr alloys of Ni.
- Parameterize the DYMOKA Monte Carlo code (OKMC code) to model very low-Cr alloys of Ni. This will be based, among other things, on the methodology developed by F. Watt (PhD candidate at EDF).
- Implement a modeling method for ion implantation based on the methodology proposed by Andrée de Backer [4].
- Present the results at the PEPR SCIAM working group meetings
- Communicate the scientific results through conference presentations and publications
Your Profil
Skills
- Strong knowledge of materials science, physical metallurgy, and modeling.
- Knowledge of Monte Carlo modeling methods.
- Knowledge of radiation damage.
- Proficiency in scientific English.
soft skills
- Ability to prioritize tasks.
- Strong interpersonal and pedagogical skills.
- Rigor and autonomy; organization.
- Teamwork skills.
- Ability to report effectively.
Your Work Environment
The mission falls within the framework of the PEPR SCIAM, led by the CNRS. The work will primarily take place at the UMET laboratory, located at the University of Lille (Scientific Campus in Villeneuve d'Ascq), in collaboration with EDF and within the framework of the joint EM2VM laboratory.
The position is situated within a sector related to the protection of scientific and technical potential (PPST) and therefore requires, in accordance with regulations, that your arrival be authorized by the competent authority of the Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation (MESR).
