Post-doctotal and Ph. D. positions in Cluster Physics
at the University of Lyon I (France)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the framework of the EUROPEAN NETWORK
"Delayed Ionization and Competing Cooling Mechanisms in Atomic Clusters"
funded by the European Commission
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
One POSTDOCTORAL GRANT (1 to 2 years) and one PhD. STUDENTSHIP (3 years) are
available in the Laboratoire de Spectrometrie Ionique et Moleculaire of the
University of Lyon I
The overall objective of the network is to obtain a detailed understanding
of the fundamental dynamical processes that occur in energy-rich atomic
clusters where the excitation energy exceeds the energy required for
electron emission.
(Web site of the network: http://fy.chalmers.se/~mheden/eccn.htm)
The group of the University of Lyon headed by Dr. Christian BORDAS is
involved in the characterization of spectroscopic and dynamical properties
of clusters. Delayed ionization, thermionic emission, internal energy
redistribution and competing cooling mechanisms in small metal and covalent
clusters are studied via the combination of Mass Spectrometry, Photoelectron
Imaging Spectroscopy, and ZEKE/MATI techniques. Imaging spectroscopy is
particularly suitable for extracting information on low energy particles
near threshold. This makes it ideal for studying delayed ionization /
thermionic emission where the kinetic energy spectrum of the electrons
depends on both the charge state and the temperature of the system and
presents a behavior very different from the bulk near zero energy. Each
successful applicant will be expected to spend some time in a partner
laboratory other than that of his/her host group and will be expected to
take an active participation in the Network Workshops. Gross monthly salary
range from 11000 FF (Ph.D. studentship) to 16000 FF (Postdoctoral grant).
