  • Subject: "Multi-scale modeling of UO2 plasticity: on the role of irradiation defects"

    Description: The main goal of the Ph.D thesis is to develop a constitutive model based on dislocation interactions with irradiation defects. This model is needed to compute inelastic strains induced at high temperature and under irradiation. First, interaction between defects will be characterized using the LAMMPS molecular dynamics (MD) package. Then, atomisticallyinformed dislocation dynamics (DD) simulations will be performed to quantify strain hardening induced by irradiation defects using the NUMODIS code. Finally, the constitutive law and its parameters will be integrated within the finite-element (FEM) framework developed at the laboratory.

    Application: CV and application letters should be sent to bruno.michel@cea.fr and jonathan.amodeo@insa-lyon.fr.

  • Subject’s title: "Nano-mechanical and piezoelectric studies on semiconductor nanowires"

     

    Description: The MNO group of IM2NP at Aix-Marseille Université offers a PhD thesis focusing on the mechanical and piezoelectric properties of semiconductor (GaN, ZnO) nanowires.Within the framework of this thesis, the successful candidate will study the nano-mechanical (elasticity, plasticity, fracture) and piezoelectric behavior of individual nanostructures using unique experimental techniques: (i) in situ atomic force microscopy coupled with nano-focused X-ray diffraction at 3rd generation synchrotrons (ESRF, SOLEIL, …) and (ii) in situ electrical actuation during TEM imaging using a novel TEM sample holder in an aberration corrected FEI TITAN. The experiments will be accompanied by finite element method simulations.

    Application: a CV, two letters of recommendation, and a statement of research interests should be sent to michael.texier@univ-amu.fr and thomas.cornelius@im2np.fr.

  • In the ‘Micro- and Nanomechanics’ group of Assoz.Prof. Dr. Daniel Kiener the ERC Consolidator Grant TOUGHIT focusses on the development of superior strong and tough composite materials by tailoring microstructure and interface properties. In this regard, they are looking for:

    - Postdoctoral: "In-situ TEM analysis of crack tip processes"

    The candidate will apply quantitative in-situ transmission electron microscopy to analyze the fundamental processes taking place during nucleation and propagation of cracks in metallic nanocomposites.
