<strong>Job description</strong><br>
Theoretical material science investigations with relevance for development of new types of neutron detectors. <br>
Quantum mechanical calculations and thermodynamics analysis of the phase stability of disordered materials based on Boron (B) and Gadolinium (Gd). <br>
Density functional theory calculations of materials properties and processes that can give understanding of the synthesis and usability of materials as thin solid films. <br>
<br>
The PhD-studies will be performed in a large academic research group in Linköping with both experimental and theoretical colleagues as well as in collaboration with researchers at the new neutron research facility European Spallation Source (ESS) that is under
construction in Lund, Sweden. <br>
<br>
Your theoretical results will be investigated by experimentally focused colleagues. The knowledge obtained can inspire the development of new materials for the scientific application of neutron technology.</p>
