Stäfa, Zürich, Schweiz Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich Vollzeit

ETH Zurich is one of the world's leading universities that specialize in science and technology. It is renowned for its excellent education, its cutting-edge fundamental research and its efforts to put new knowledge and innovations directly into practice. The Laboratory of Metal Physics and Technology (LMPT), part of the Department of Materials at ETH Zurich, conducts research and teaching in areas ranging from basic science to technology, mostly in metal-related areas. It is led by Jörg F. Löffler and brings together leading physicists, materials scientists, chemists, and biomedical engineers from across the world. LMPT creates novel materials and explores emerging phenomena in metal physics and technology via detailed materials analysis and modeling.

Project background

Are you ready to dive into Materials Science?
We are looking for a PhD candidate at the Laboratory of Metal Physics and Technology (LMPT) to explore the relationship between the nanoscale microstructure and magnetic properties in materials and in particular Sm-Co permanent magnets. This research will contribute to a deeper understanding of fundamental metal properties and enable the design of next-generation magnetic materials. The goal is to optimize them for technological applications, including renewable energy systems and medical magnetic resonance imaging.

Project Overview
You will investigate the impact of alloying on the magnetic properties of Sm-Co magnets, using Fe-Cr as a test bed material. This project combines advanced experimental techniques with computational modeling, including:

  • Advanced Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM): High-resolution magnetic field distribution characterization, temperature-dependent microstructure and magnetic texture evolution study.
  • Atomic-Scale Analysis: Atom-probe tomography (APT) and high-resolution scanning TEM for atomic-level microstructure and chemical composition analysis.
  • Computational Modeling: Micromagnetic and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations.
  • Nanoscale Microstructure Analysis: TEM and APT characterization.
  • Magnetic Property Correlation: Linking microstructure to magnetic behavior.
  • Data Analysis & Interpretation: Drawing conclusions from experimental and simulated data.
  • Scientific Reporting: Publishing and presenting research findings.
  • Collaborative Research: Contribute to group projects and discussions.
  • Teaching: Contribute to practicals and lectures assignments.
Profile
  • A Master's degree covering at least two of: physics, physical metallurgy, materials science.
  • Background in solid-state physics and a demonstrated interest in experimental research.
  • Programming for scientific simulations.
  • Proficiency in oral and written English.
WorkplaceWe offer
  • Access to cutting-edge microscopy facilities.
  • Opportunity to contribute to groundbreaking research in materials science.
  • Collaborative and supportive research environment with expert mentorship.
  • 100% position.
  • Position available immediately or upon mutual agreement.

In line with our values, ETH Zurich encourages an inclusive culture. We promote equality of opportunity, value diversity and nurture a working and learning environment in which the rights and dignity of all our staff and students are respected. Visit our Equal Opportunities and Diversity website to find out how we ensure a fair and open environment that allows everyone to grow and flourish.

Curious? So are we.
