Post-doc: Coulomb phase physics in artificial spin ice (M/F)

Job Description

Missions

Within the framework of this project, we aim to continue the work undertaken by the laboratory in recent years, focusing on the study of emergent cooperative phenomena in interacting magnetic nanostructure networks that exhibit geometric frustration. The main objective of the project is to probe, both spatially and temporally, the physics of Coulomb phases and their excitations.

The task will involve fabricating, using electron-beam lithography in a cleanroom, and imaging, via magnetic force microscopy, the low-energy configurations of magnetically frustrated systems. The obtained measurements will then be compared with numerical data to simulate the thermodynamic behavior of such systems.

Activity

Your Work Environment

Institut NÉEL is a CNRS unit (UPR 2940) under agreement with the University Grenoble Alpes. The laboratory is related to the CNRS Physique. It is located in Grenoble, in the heart of a unique scientific, industrial and cultural environment. It is one of the largest French national research institutes for fundamental research in condensed matter physics enriched by interdisciplinary activities at the interfaces with chemistry, engineering and biology. It consists of 450 employees, including 175 researchers.
CNRS is a public, scientific and technological organization.
The core mandate is to identify, to carry out or to have carried out, either alone or with partners, all research that advances science or contributes to the country's economic, social, and cultural progress. Internationally recognized for the excellence of its scientific research, the CNRS is a reference in the world of research and development, as well as for the general public.

The hosting team at Institut Néel is MNM (Micro and Nanomagnetism), which forms part of the QUEST department.
