Fully funded PhD position in physics/chemistry/nanoscience from October
2012

- High-throughput production of nanoclusters by condensation of atomic
  vapours on liquid jets -

A fully-funded PhD position (for UK/EU resident candidates only) under
supervision of Klaus von Haeften is available in the Physics Department
at the University of Leicester, UK. A revolutionary nanoparticle
production method based on liquid jets in vacuum will be explored with
the aim to understand size distribution, controlled oxidation of the
nanoparticle surface and interaction with liquid/solid
substrates. The following analytical facilities are
available: photofluorescence, FTIR, Raman, XPS/UPS, Auger, Leed,
AFM/STM.

Please apply online
