The candidate will join the Nanomagnetism and Magnetization Processes Group to carry out the doctorate in the Campus of International Excellence (CEI) UAM+CSIC.

The Project: 
The scientific and technological exploration of curvilinear magnetism is an emerging research field that opens the path to exciting novel physical phenomena, originated from the increased complexity in spin textures, topology and frustration, especially in three dimensions. Although there are numerous appealing theoretical predictions of curvature-induced effects, the novel physics is explored theoretically for simple situations only and practically is not explored experimentally. The main objective of this project is, thus, to develop and exploit routes in fabrication of 2D and 3D curved magnetic nanostructures, and to investigate complex topologically non-trivial magnetic states and their dynamics both experimentally and theoretically. The project is directed towards the long-term vision of novel versatile green magnetic storage and communication in nanoscale units with complex architecture and interconnected functionalities for the benefit of the ICT nanoelectronics market and society.

The project will consist in studying solar fuel catalysts through static and ultrafast in-situ X-ray spectroscopy and electrochemistry. The main objectives of the project will be to probe the electronic and structural changes occurring near the active catalytic site through X-ray absorption, emission, and resonant inelastic scattering spectroscopy. The student will also be trained in Raman, Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The Ph.D. student will assist in writing the beamtime proposals, and carrying out the synchrotron and laboratory-based experiments, data analysis and interpretation.

The Project: The goal of the EU is to become climate-neutral by 2050 and to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030. One of the emergent sectors in the energy consumption is the information and communication technology centres that could produce 20% of global carbon emissions around 2030. More than half of the considered waste heat streams arise at a low temperature range, below 200 °C. Thermoelectricity is a key topic in energy harvesting due to its ability to convert heat directly into electricity. The thermoelectric and thermomagnetic devices have unique advantages stemming from their very high specific power: they scale well to low power levels and are useful in applications where weight and size matter. The main objective of the project is to gain knowledge in some aspects of the hot topic Spincaloritronics, in particular, to understand the role of the stochiometric and roughness interfaces in the thermomagnetic properties of materials with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. This project will try to shed light on the controversy about the mechanism behind the enhanced thermoelectric response of some magnetic materials in order to develop Nernst effect devices with high efficiency and simple technological integration.
