Offer Description

Postdoctoral position in the framework of the project entitled  „Enhanced Single Crystal Applications and Research in the Growth of new Optical rare earth-based compounds for sustainable and efficient Technologies (ESCARGOT)”

 

I. Project description.

The ESCARGOT project aims at obtaining new or unconventional crystals of oxides and fluorides, doped with rare-earth ions, with improved quality for optical, magneto-optical and laser applications. Different growth methods will be used such as Czochralski, Bridgman and Flux methods. Numerical modelling will be used in order to optimize the different growth processes. Crystals will be oriented and shaped then characterized by optical spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction as well as by various chemical (EPMA, LIBS, GDMS) and physical (i.e. magnetic properties) techniques.
