Advanced characterization of materials and buried interfaces in solid-state batteries & perovskite solar cells
The candidate will join a team dedicated to the analysis of materials, their interfaces and their evolution during device cycling and ageing.
The team is part of the CEA-Grenoble nano-characterization platform (PFNC), which gives access to a wide range of state-of-the-art facilities for investigating the morphological, physical and chemical properties of innovative materials and components to support technological and materials developments in the field of new energies.
The post-doctoral fellowship will be focused on developing and optimizing methodologies enabling the characterization of buried features (interfaces or areas of interest) in new generation of solid-state batteries and in innovative devices used as solar cells.
The methodologies to be developed will be based on the use of various preparation techniques, including FIB-SEMs (Ga-FIB-SEM, Xe-Plasma FIB-SEM), and a (Cryo)Ga-FIB-SEM equipped with a femtosecond laser.
Responsibilities:
Develop innovative methodologies using state-of-the-art interconnected tools to gain access to buried interfaces allowing their morphological, structural and chemical interrogation.
Perform FIB-SEM experiments linked to sample preparation or micromachining.
Perform subsequent characterizations using techniques such as TEM, XPS, SIMS, and Raman.
Qualifications:
Good experience in performing FIB-SEM experiments linked to sample preparation or micromachining.
Knowledge of beam-induced damage and experience in advanced characterization by microscopy.
