Description of the research topic:
The micro- and nanostructure of surfaces can strongly correlate with other important macroscopic properties of the investigated material (e.g. mechanical or electrochemical behavior). Through the characterization of the surfaces on the micro- and nano level we can gain insight which would enable the optimization of these material properties to develop better functional materials for a large variety of purposes. The scanning probe microscopy (SPM) family (with atomic force microscopy as its most well-known member) enables not just the topographical mapping of surfaces, but also the characterization of mechanical, electrical, magnetic etc. properties.
With the instrumentation (Veeco/Bruker diInnova type SPM) and technological capabilities of the Department of Electronics Technology the following research areas could be defined in the field:
- Development of novel methods for the characterization of the shape of surface nanostructures. Study of the relationship between the shape of nanoparticles and synthesis parameters.
- Investigation (both experimentally and theoretically through a finite element modeling (FEM) approach) of the relationship between the electrochemical behavior and the surface nanostructure of electrodes.
- Development of novel finite element based simulation methods which would use the topography map of AFM imaging as an input parameter for FEM based plasmonic and electrochemical simulations.
- Study of the mechanic/elastic behavior of functional materials with advanced SPM methods.
Required language skills: English Recommended language skills (in Hungarian): English Further requirements: The research area is highly multi-disciplinary. Some affinity for physics and chemistry is thus required, any previous expertise in these areas could be advantageous. (However, the required knowledge and skills from these areas can quickly be obtaine
