The School of Engineering Sciences at KTH Royal Institute of Technology is inviting applications for a Doctoral student in Quantum/Energy Materials & Neutron Scattering.

About the project:

• The main project goal is to use neutron scattering techniques to study and understand the magnetic spin properties of a new family of honeycomb quantum materials.
• The materials also have potential applications in sustainable batteries, and depending on the candidate’s qualifications & scientific interests, it is possible to expand towards ion dynamics and/or theoretical modeling in collaboration with NORDITA.
• Project is conducted in collaboration with several renowned institutions and the main experimental work will be conducted at international research facilities.
• Supervision: The doctoral student will be supervised by: Prof Jonas Weissenrieder, Assoc. Prof Martin Månsson

Eligibility:
