POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH POSITION
University of Notre Dame
REACTIVE SCATTERING OF ATOMIC AND MOLECULAR IONS ON SURFACES
######################################################################
Applications are invited for a POSTDOCTORAL POSITION in experimental
gas/surface reaction dynamics at the University of Notre Dame. Reactions
between incident ions and surface adsorbates are explored under UHV
conditions. Ions are accelerated to hyperthermal energies (5-300 eV) and
collide with well-characterized single-crystal surfaces. A
differentially-pumped QMS is used to detect scattered products with
angular-, mass-, and energy-resolution. In addition, TPD, AES, XPS, and
Kelvin Probe measurements are employed to monitor surface modifications
following prolonged ion beam exposures. The mechanisms for charge
transfer, dissociation, and atom abstraction reactions are probed by
measuring how the reaction probability and product distributions depend on
the collision energy, angle-of-incidence, and the surface adsorbate
structure. Candidates with previous experience in charged particle optics
and/or surface science techniques are especially encouraged to apply.
Applicants should send a curriculum vitae and arrange for two letters of
recommendation to be sent to:
