• Hidetsugu SHIOZAWA - Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and related materials

  Description

  A fully funded PhD position is available at the University of Vienna. The project will focus on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and related materials. MOFs represent a class of porous organic-inorganic hybrid materials that are composed of metal nodes and organic ligands in various 1D, 2D or 3D frameworks. The project aims to seek their advanced physical and chemical properties such as molecular magnetism, quantum emission, redox reactions, and their applications in magneto-optics, optoelectronics, and energy storage.

  The successful candidate will conduct experimental research on some of the following topics: synthesis, electronic, optical and magnetic properties, electrochemistry, applications in optoelectronics, spintronics, electrochemical energy storage or ion batteries. In addition, the candidate will learn and perform density-functional theory calculations to interpret experimental results. 

  The candidate will join an interdisciplinary research group: https://homepage.univie.ac.at/hidetsugu.shiozawa/

   

  Requirements

  Research Field: Solid State Physics, Physical Chemistry

  Education Level: Master Degree or equivalent

  English Level should be excellent

   

  Skills/Qualifications

  Candidates are expected to hold a Master of Science degree or equivalent research experience in physics, chemistry, engineering or another relevant discipline by the start date of the project. Candidates should have excellent academic qualifications and outstanding communication skills with an excellent proficiency in English.

  Skills and experience in some of the following research topics and methods: synthesis and characterization of metal complexes (MCs), coordination polymers (CPs), metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs), carbon nanotubes (CNTs), or related materials, molecular magnetism, magnetoresistance, optical spectroscopy (Raman, UV-Vis-IR, photoluminescence), photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS, UPS), neutron scattering, transmission electron microscopy, time-resolved fluorescence, time-correlated single photon counting, lasing, light-emitting diodes, photovoltaics, electrochemistry, ion batteries, energy storage, and density-functional theory (DFT).
