Línea de Investigación:

Carbon-based and related nanostructures (hexagonal boron nitride, molybdenum disulfide…) are very promising nanomaterials due to their unique mechanical, thermal and electronic propertie s. Moreover, the prospect of tailoring their properties to meet the requirements of specific applications [1] is opening exciting venues of research. In-situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is the ideal tool to investigate these materials at the atomic scale under controlled conditions [2-5].

We are seeking for a highly motivated student. The successful candidate will investigate the atomic structure and configuration of different 1D & 2D nanomaterials using a range of instruments such as aberration -corrected TEM (chiefly atomically resolved (S)TEM and EELS), FIB, SEM, Raman and XPS.
