PhD position

You will expand these techniques to 3 dimensions using electron tomography approaches. You will combine all of the novel methodologies with in situ investigation using different dedicated holders (eg strain, bias, gas, heating). You will develop quantitative methods to analyse and correctly interpret low-dose TEM data. Because of the low electron dose that is required to image the MHPs without beam damage, the resulting images will exhibit very low signal-to-noise ratio and extremely weak contrast, which makes this research very challenging.

General

The PhD candidate will prepare a doctoral thesis in the field of sciences. You publish scientific articles related to the research project of the assignment. You present your work at national and international workshops and conferences.
