Overview
The SMALL ITN network represents 'Surface for Molecular Recognition at the Atomic Level' and is focussed on training 22 PhD students across 11 different institutions in cutting edge nanoscience, chemistry, physics and theoretical methods. To find out about other research studentships available visit www.small-itn.eu
Program Description
Materials with magnetic properties based on molecular species or polymers had attracted the attention of the research community in recent years. These materials can be obtained by constructing charge transfer salts combining molecules and metallic centres. The predicted properties of such molecular-based magnetic materials, particularly in combination with other physical properties associated with molecules and polymers, may open the opportunity for their use in future generations of electronic, magnetic, and/or photonic devices.
Currently, the necessary step to develop such devices is to control the synthesis and the organization of this kind of organic materials on surfaces. Such structure depends on a number of competing interactions between the functional molecular groups, the interaction with the substrate and the adsorbed metal centres. The research will involve using surface science methods to grow and characterize the supramolecular networks in ultra-high vacuum (UHV). The experiments will involve the use of different surface science technique including scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy.
Some previous papers of us are the following:
“Graphene: Surfing ripples towards new devices” , Rodolfo Miranda & Amadeo L. Vázquez de Parga, Nature Nanotechnology 4, 549 - 550 (2009)
“Periodically Rippled Graphene: Growth and Spatially Resolved Electronic Structure” , Phys. Rev. Lett.100, 056807 (2008)
“A Quantum-Stabilized Mirror for Atoms” , Advanced Materials20, 3492 (2008)
Research Field
Physics - Surface physics
Eligible Candidates
The successful candidate should have a strong background in physics, chemistry, nanotechnology or materials science, and be committed to perform experiments on ultra-high vacuum equipment addressing problems within the field of surface science, at the borderline between solid state physics and chemistry.
The LASUAM group at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, with a more than 20 years long trajectory, is among the world leaders with respect to fundamental surface science. The group comprises more than 20 people of different nationalities. The primary experimental platform comprises 3 Ultra-High Vacuum STM setups, 3 Helium Diffraction setups, and 1 Nanomagnetism Laboratory.

Benefits
Researchers will receive salary and expenses in line with the regulations of the Marie Curie ITN actions, as well as postgraduate research training, access to childcare facilities, career development allowance and other benefits.
Application Deadline: 01/08/2010
