Missions

The candidate will work within a team which is developing and applying the high throughput combinatorial approach to develop magnetic materials (hard magnets, magnetocaloric materials…) with reduced to no critical elements.

he will study the impact of element substitution and processing parameters on the functional properties of particular material systems.

Activity

-Sputtering of compositionally graded thin films Structural (XRD, SEM, profilometer…) and magnetic (MOKE, characterization...)
-data analysis using both conventional and machine learning approaches
-supervision of intern(s)

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 candidate will work on the high throughput fabrication and characterization of hard magnetic materials in thin film form. The project is part of a larger effort around data driven development of functional magnetic materials.


The hosting teams at Institut Néel are MNM / Micro and Nano Magnetism, which form part of the QUEST department.
