The successful candidate will work in a novel and very intensive field of liquid crystal research, and will be challenged to explore the physics and the application potential of a new type of liquid crystal – the ferroelectric nematic. Project description The simplest form of liquid crystal – nematic –  is a non-polar orientationally ordered liquid. It is strongly stimuli-responsive and foremost utilized in liquid crystal displays (LCDs) for TVs, smartphones, laptops, and other electronic applications. In 2020, the first example of a nematic phase with spontaneous polar order was identified. At that moment the more than 100 years old paradigm of the non-polar nature of nematic liquid crystals broke down, and the old truth that spontaneous polarization and ferroelectricity in liquid crystals require lower symmetry, layered (smectic) phases was overturned. The new ferroelectric nematic (NF) phase has rapidly gained an enormous attention, also outside the liquid crystal community. The spontaneous electric polarization provides new functionalities, with possible applications in for example photonics, electronics, and sensor technology, but maybe also for energy harvesting and storage devices. We are looking for a highly motivated PhD student that wants to pursue forefront experimental research on ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals, with the aim to further increase the knowledge about the mechanisms behind their formation and their phase behavior. From an applicational point of view, the understanding of the interplay between NF materials and bounding surfaces, is of special importance. Depending on the progress and evolution of the research activities, the work could also involve exploring ferroelectric nematic structures for energy harvesting and storage applications. The hired PhD student is encouraged to, and will have the possibility, to also bring in his/her own research ideas into the work. The work will take place in an international environment and will include collaboration with European and American groups. It involves formulation of research questions, design of experiments, clean-room manufacturing, sample assembly and characterization in measurement labs. Classic non-polar nematic liquid crystals once revolutionized display technology - where will the polar ferroelectric nematic liquid crystal take us?  Major responsibilities Your major responsibilities are to pursue your doctoral studies. You are expected to develop your own scientific concepts and communicate the results of your research verbally and in writing. The position generally also includes teaching on Chalmers' undergraduate level or performing other duties corresponding to 20 percent of working hours. Your work will involve and requires extensive hands-on activities in the Chalmers Nano Fabrication Laboratory cleanroom, where you will create various types of organic and inorganic surface layers on solid substrates, and assemble/build various types of liquid crystal devices and test cells, using a large variety of different processing and analytic tools. Optic and electrooptic studies using polarized light microscopy, and basic electronics equipment will be fundamental for the experimental work. Depending on the results and progress, you might further need to use dedicated experimental resources at other laboratories, abroad, or in Sweden. We expect you to show initiative by proactively developing and contributing with your own research ideas related to the advertised project.  Read more about doctoral studies at Chalmers here. Qualifications You are curious, and want to understand new things. You have a solid interest in science in general, and physics/materials science in particular.

PhD student position in Innovation systems of emerging fission and fusion technologies This position provides the opportunity to deep-dive into research at the crossroad of the vibrant fields of transition studies, industrial dynamics, climate change, sustainable development and physics. The position will give you the opportunity to work with experienced scholars and get access to networks stretching across academia and industry in an area at the center of political attention. Project description Climate change mitigation, energy security concerns and cumulative technical development have led to a renewed interest in nuclear energy. However, established nuclear fission technology suffers from long construction times, high up-front costs, limited learning, and high political risk. Small modular reactors (SMRs) could potentially open a new trajectory for nuclear fission, and thermonuclear fusion could open a completely new space for innovation and industrial development. To realise such visions, not only technical problems, but also a broad set of economic and institutional barriers related to developing new industrial value chains need to be overcome. This PhD project at Chalmers, in cooperation with RISE, applies the technological innovation systems (TIS) framework to identify barriers and drivers in different parts of the emerging sociotechnical systems around SMRs and fusion reactors, with the aim of providing foresight to policymakers and industry. Information about the division The research is conducted at the division of Environmental Systems Analysis at the department of Technology Management and Economics. The division conducts research on technology governance, including environmental assessment of technology and organisation, and studies of system transformation.
