Scientific Initiation Studentships - (BL164/2022-IST-ID)

Applications are open for 1 Scientific Initiation Studentships, within the framework of apoio especial Verão com Ciência da UID 4349 - Centro de Ciências e Tecnologias Nucleares, entitled “New multifunctional hybrid materials”, financed by national funds through FCT/MCTES (PIDDAC

Workplan: The diversity of applications of multifunctional hybrid compounds has attracted great interest in the scientific community. Applications ranging from optics, microelectronics, transport, health, energy or environment.

The intercalation of small organic molecules between the van der Waals gaps of the inorganic layers of compounds such as Bi2 Te3 , FeSe or SnSe remains to be explored. The aim of this work is to insert, in these inorganic systems, small organic molecules, such as tetrathiofulvalene, pyridine, pyrazine, or other heterocyclic compounds, which will give rise to new multifunctional hybrid materials.

The work proposal presented is based on the following objectives:

1- Synthesis of inorganic compounds, high temperatures.

2- Organic synthesis of the molecules to be intercalated.

3- Synthesis of hybrid materials, intercalation chemistry

4- Structural characterization and physical properties (electrical and magnetic).

Duration: The research fellowship(s) will have the duration of 1 month and the contract is not renewable..

It is mandatory to formalize applications with the submission of the following documents: i) B1 Form – Fellowship application (https://ist-id.pt/concursos/bolsas/ ); ii) Curriculum Vitae; iii) academic degree certificate, where applicable; iv) proof of enrollment at an academic degree course or at a course that does not award an academic degree; v) motivation letter; vi) declaration on honour that the applicant does not exceed with this contract, including the possible renovations, an accumulated period of one year in this type of studentship, continuously or with interruptions, and has not held any other fellowship directly or indirectly funded by FCT.
