The ESRF is a multinational research institute, situated in Grenoble, France and financed by 19 countries mostly European. It operates a powerful synchrotron X-ray source with some 30 beamlines (instruments) covering a wide range of scientific research in fields such as biology and medicine, chemistry, earth and environmental sciences, materials and surface science, and physics. The ESRF employs about 600 staff and is organized as a French société civile.
Abstract:
Multiferroics are fascinating materials in which at least two types of long-range order coexist, for example ferroelectricity and ferromagnetism. This coexistence brings out multifuncionality and new cross-coupling effects with very promising applications in areas as diverse as data storage, sensing and actuation, and spintronics...
Description:
The aim of the PhD project is the theoretical investigation of the properties of (multi)ferroic materials at the nanoscale. Candidates should have a good theoretical background in electrodynamics and solid-state physics and skills to perform analitycal calculations. The research will be strongly oriented towards field-theory frameworks in condensed-matter physics such as the Landau theory of phase transitions.
