Supply Description
The analysis mission focuses on the prediction and optimisation of crystalline buildings current at metallic oxide heterointerfaces with copper, indium, gallium and selenium (CIGS) thin-film photo voltaic cells. Heterointerfaces play an important function in figuring out the efficiency of photovoltaic gadgets by influencing cost service transport properties and interface stability. They’re additionally the positioning of many noticed detrimental results, equivalent to cleavage, reconstruction or nucleation of an sudden detrimental interphase area, the crystallographic parameters of which aren’t simple to handle with present experimental gadgets.
Utilizing primarily ab initio simulations (DFT), biomimetic optimisation strategies (evolutionary or particle swarm strategies) – and theoretical analyses, the postdoctoral researcher will endeavour to foretell and characterise the crystalline buildings on the CIGS interfaces with the intention to suggest methods for bettering their stability and photovoltaic efficiency.
– Use and adapt the above laptop simulation strategies to foretell crystal buildings at CIGS heterointerfaces.
– Perform theoretical analyses to know the underlying mechanisms that govern the properties of the interface.
– Collaborate with a multidisciplinary group of researchers in physics, chemistry and supplies engineering to interpret the outcomes and suggest modern options.
– Contribute to the writing of high-quality scientific articles and current the outcomes at worldwide conferences.
– Take an lively half in group conferences and discussions on the progress of the mission.
The Institut des Matériaux de Nantes Jean Rouxel (IMN) is a joint analysis unit (UMR) of the CNRS and Nantes College. With over 200 employees, it’s one in every of France’s main supplies analysis centres (https://www.cnrs-imn.fr/ ). The particular person recruited will work within the ID2M (Metallurgy and Supplies Engineering) analysis group, underneath the path of Isabelle BRAEMS. She or he will even profit from common interdisciplinary collaboration conferences on the IMN’s computer systems.
