Thesis ins soft matter and non-equilibrium statistical physics (M/F)

Job Description

Thesis Subject

Microscopic living systems are chemically reactive systems that are significantly out of equilibrium, in which Brownian motion is the dominant mode of transport. At the colloidal scale, chemical energies are of the order of several tens of kT, i.e. an order of magnitude greater than the typical thermal energy fluctuations responsible for Brownian motion. The aim of this thesis will be to experimentally investigate the effect of a non-thermal bath on the stochastic motion of a Brownian object.

Your Work Environment

In this thesis, we will focus on simplified physical model systems in order to study experimentally how a reactive environment can influence Brownian motion. We use the cantilever of an atomic force microscope (AFM) as a model Brownian object in various chemically reactive environments, with or without a catalyst.
