Do you understand what it means to unravel complex synthesis pathways of metal-halide perovskites with X-rays? Are you curious about how things work on an atomic level, looking for a challenge and want to have an impact on our green energy transition? Then this might be the right project for you!

Background
The synthesis of highest efficiency metal-halide perovskites (MHPs) for solar cell applications is a fine tuned, sensitive and complex process with small processing windows.

The complex interaction of solvents, additives, precursors, substrates with intermediates and atmosphere determine the morphology, optoelectronic quality and to some extent the stability of the produced films in an almost “black box” process. A thorough understanding of the synthesis process, its processing windows and how they can be tuned is mandatory for up-scaled production.

At the Balder beamline, we investigate processes in-situ with simultaneously combined complementary techniques using the high-brilliance X-rays of the 4th generation MAX IV synchrotron. Combining X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) / GIWAXS and X-ray excited optical luminescence (XEOL) simultaneously, with a sub-second time resolution, gives us the unique ability to follow complex processes from multiple perspectives. With just one experiment we get insight into the evolution of the chemical, structural and optoelectronic properties allowing us to identify intermediates and unravel synthesis pathways. We recently developed a robotic roll-to-roll coating and in-situ processing platform with full beamline integration. This allows us to investigate larger parameter spaces than ever before.

Your Project will be embedded in a Horizon Europe funded consortium of 15 Universities, Institutes and companies for a joint effort to develop perovskite solar cell technology with industrially compatible processes for large areas. Your project will be an important building block for our overall success: Understanding the complex synthesis processes for highly efficient metal-halide perovskites on an atomic level will enable us to rationally tune them for large area deposition of uniform, highly efficient and stable materials.

Specifically, you will get optimized process recipes from our partners and investigate formation processes in-situ by means of multimodal XAS-XRD-XEOL. With these insights you will try to unravel synthesis pathways and rationalize processing windows in a larger parameter space. Your insight for optimization will be fed back to the process implementation at our partners to finally yield homogeneous, highly efficient and stable material on larger mini-module and industrial scales. There is a high potential for high impact publication of project results and substantial research career development.

Your team consists of technique experts in XAS and XRD and already has strong expertise in the investigation of synthesis processes of especially MHPs. Additionally you will work closely together with material and process experts in our research consortium.

Qualifications

- demonstrated expertise in metal-halide perovskites and their synthesis
- demonstrated experience of one or several of the synchrotron techniques (XAS, XRD/GIWAXS, XEOL/optical spectroscopy), including analysis methods. This should ideally be coupled with in-situ measurements.

Experience of interdisciplinary research is valuable. Significant contributions to peer-reviewed publications in the above directions are considered a strong plus.

As a person, you are creative, thorough and have a structured approach. When selecting among the applicants we will assess their ability to solve complex scientific problems, independently drive their work forward, collaborate with others and have a professional scientific approach. You should have the demonstrated ability to work independently as well as in a team, an excellent command of spoken and written English and well-developed communication skills.

Eligibility
Appointment to the position of postdoc requires that the applicant has a PhD or an international degree deemed equivalent to a PhD, within the subject of the position, completed no more than three years before the application deadline. Under special circumstances the PhD can have been completed previous to the aforementioned three years.

Your team
You will be working in the Accelerator Development group consisting of a wide variety of experts within the accelerator field, including accelerator physicists, RF experts and laser experts.

The Accelerator Development team is a part of MAX IV Accelerator Division, which is responsible for developing and operating all accelerator-based light sources at MAX IV.

Would you like to work at one of the brightest lightsources in the world?

MAX IV is looking for a Post Doc who will work on a longitudinal injection scheme for the MAX 4U project.

The accelerators at the MAX IV facility are the core components for production of synchrotron radiation. There are two storage rings and one linear accelerator. The largest of these accelerators is the 3 GeV electron storage ring, which is the first in the world to employ a multi-bend-achromat magnet lattice to deliver ultrahigh-brightness synchrotron radiation. It is the first of the new generation of storage rings with extremely low emittance, of which only three are currently in operation, while several synchrotron radiation facilities worldwide are upgrading in this direction. We intend to stay at the forefront and are therefore already studying improved accelerator designs and components.

In particular, since January 2024 MAX IV is engaged in the design of a major upgrade to its 3 GeV ring, called MAX 4U. The upgrade aims at an outstanding improvement in light source performance to maintain MAXIV’s competitive edge beyond the end of this decade. As we push towards lower emittance, we face the consequence of a smaller dynamic aperture. This becomes an issue for off-axis injection, the current method at MAX IV.

We will therefore investigate the possibility of longitudinal injection, which we believe is feasible with the MAX IV's full energy linac and the option to use the photocathode gun for ring injection. There will also be a unique opportunity to test longitudinal injection into the current MAX IV storage ring.

Your main work tasks will be

- Simulations of linac and ring beam dynamics for longitudinal injection using tools such as Elegant, and Matlab Accelerator Toolbox
- Development of Photo Gun Injection
- Experimental verification of longitudinal injection in the MAX IV 3 GeV ring
- Co-author the conceptual design report for MAX 4U
- Take part in operational efforts of the MAX IV accelerators



To be successful in this role you need to have the following qualifications

- PhD in accelerator physics or equivalent
- In depth knowledge of accelerator physics
- Knowledge of electron tracking codes such as AT2 and elegant
- Programming skills e.g. python, MATLAB, C
- Fluent in written and spoken English



Below are seen as merits

- Experience with storage rings
- Experience with linear accelerators
- Experience of accelerator operations

As a person you are a team worker, self-driven and work well under pressure.

Eligibility
Appointment to the position of postdoc requires that the applicant has a PhD or an international degree deemed equivalent to a PhD, within the subject of the position, completed no more than three years before the application deadline. Under special circumstances the PhD can have been completed previous to the aforementioned three years.
