| Tesline zavojnice i glazba |
| Ako ste ikada vidjeli Teslinu zavojnicu, vjerojatno ste bili zadivljeni velikim iskrama koje su "iskakale" s vrha. No jeste li pri tome slušali zvuk koji ta iskra proizvodi, jeste li pomislili da taj zvuk može sudjelovati u izvedbi glazbenog djela? Pogledajte što su ovi entuzijasti učinili. |
| PhD position in the Institute of Materials Jean Rouxel |

Application before 20/04/2009 is highly recommended PhD position in the Institute of Materials Jean Rouxel DFT Simulation of Photo-Induced Properties of Inorganic Materials A PhD position in Theoretical Condensed Matter Chemistry and Physics is open for application atthe Institute of Materials Jean Rouxel of the University of Nantes (France). The candidate will develop his PhD Thesis on one of the priority projects of our group, which will be in the continuation of our previous theoretical investigations on the optical properties of UV-shields and pigments [1-4]. In particular, these studies led to the development of an original concept, “the optical channel”, aimed to tune the optical properties of insulating materials. Our current research interest include the understanding of the photocatalytic properties based on the modelling of structural, electronic and optical properties related to active and non-active materials. In particular, the strategy developed by the PhD student will consist to take benefit of density functional theory and semi-empirical approaches in order to rationalize: - the light absorption efficiency from the simulation of the dielectric function, - the electron/hole trapping (surface effects), - the dependence of the redox potential with structure and chemical formulation. The position will be available in October 2009. The net income will be approximately 1450 Euros per month. The University of Nantes also provides French courses for foreign students. Candidates should have a master or diploma degree in materials science or theoretical physics/chemistry and be highly motivated to work in a challenging project within a dynamical research group. Application should include a letter of motivation, a CV, copies of master or diploma certificates with qualifications, a list of publications or preprints if available, and the coordinates of an expert willing to write a letter of recommendation (e.g., master thesis supervisor).
