POSTDOC POSITION at Laboratoire National des Champs Magnétiques
Pulsés (Toulouse)
"Thermoelectricity in high magnetic field in
strongly correlated systems"
We wish to study open questions in strongly
correlated electron system in collaboration with different
laboratories in France: ESPCI (K. Behnia) in Paris, CRTBT (J.P.
Brison et P. Rodière) and SPSMS (J. Flouquet) in Grenoble. We plan
to perform thermoelectricity measurements in high magnetic field on
heavy fermions where we wish to study hidden order or metamagnetic
transitions. One crucial aspect is the link between the topology of
the Fermi surface, the magnetic fluctuations and the nature of
the superconducting state near an electronic instability. In high Tc
superconductors, we wish to study the persistence of the Nernst
effect in the normal state. The question is whether Cooper pairs are
preformed in the normal state or if it is an unusual property of
what we call the "normal state"?
Profile :
Experimental physicist
Experience in electric and thermal transports.
Experience in high magnetic field is appreciated.

Vacancy notice
Forschungszentrum Rossendorf (FZR) invites applications for
positions of PhD students, postdocs, and research associates in
experimental condensed matter physics, starting from now on.
Successful candidates will pursue vigorous research in a newly
established international user facility, the Dresden High Magnetic
Field Facility (HLD). This institute for experiments in pulsed high
magnetic fields up to 100 Tesla is under construction at the FZR.
Its pulsed magnets will be complemented by superconducting coils for
dc fields up to 20 T. Besides many other experimental possibilities,
as a unique opportunity infrared spectroscopy in the wavelength
range between 5 and 150 µm will be possible in pulsed magnetic
fields by connecting the pulsed field laboratory to the
free-electron lasers of a new neighbouring superconducting linear
electron accelerator. The HLD institute is supposed to resume
operation in 2007.
Candidates with interest and experience in one or more of the
following areas are invited.
• Methods and techniques of low temperature physics
• Measurement techniques of thermodynamic, electrical and magnetic
material properties
• Resonant techniques (ESR or NMR)
• Optical spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy
• Ultrasound
The applicant should have a MS or equivalent
Diploma degree (for PhD positions) and a PhD (for postdoc and
research associate positions) in condensed matter physics. The
salary will be on a German BAT/O scale, commensurate with age,
family status, and experience. Women are especially encouraged to
apply. Handicapped will be preferred at equal qualification.
