Many novel vitrimers have been reported of late, with the impressive range of properties thus realized providing ample evidence of the pathway to sustainability promised by these materials. Vitrimer behavior is neither simple nor easily predictable, however, and the fundamental understanding needed for their design is lacking. To address this, atomistic & coarse-grained simulations of bond-exchange processes and the elastic response in vitrimers will be carried out as a function of the catalytic centers present. Temperature-dependent activation energies and bond exchange kinetics (Arrhenius relations) will be explored. Moreover, the segmental mobility and elastic moduli of vitrimers will be computed and compared with experimental data. In generating this understanding, the successful candidate will make a strong and impactful contribution through the microscale modeling of such materials.

The candidate will apply computer simulation techniques (molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo, etc), polymer physics principles and statistical methods to model the behavior of such materials. Furthermore, the candidate will have access to HPC clusters in LIST and University of Luxembourg and will be involved in the generation and interpretation of complementary experimental data

Hydrogen-powered fuel cells constitute one of the most promising alternatives to cover society’s energy needs in a green and sustainable way. In particular, the roadmap for the implementation of a “hydrogen economy” in Europe proposes the goal that 24% of the total energy demand be covered by hydrogen in 2050, which constitutes a major scientific, technological, and infrastructural challenge. Indeed, for example, for hydrogen-powered machines (e.g., cars) to be eco-friendly, we need to improve our ability to produce, store and distribute hydrogen in a non-polluting way. As regards hydrogen production, the most obvious possibility is to obtain it from water; indeed, there is a massive worldwide effort focused on improving photo-catalytic water splitting.

In this context, it has been observed in recent years that ferroelectric materials – which present a spontaneous and switchable electric polarization – offer a very promising platform for water splitting. More precisely, it has been observed that the photo-catalyzed breaking of H2O molecules is particularly efficient on the surface of ferroelectric and related compounds. This offers great hope for optimization, as there is a very good fundamental understanding of ferroelectrics and a lot of knowledge about how to modify their functional and dynamical properties. However, despite a growing amount of work in the field, the specific reasons why ferroelectric surfaces perform well for water splitting are not clear yet. Is it because of the natural tendency of a ferroelectric to drag/expel electric charges to screen its spontaneous polarization? Is it because of the bulk photovoltaic effect that is exclusive of polar compounds, which may facilitate a greater availability of photo-generated carriers to aid the chemical reaction? There is a pressing need to address these questions and eventually (or simultaneously) explore the full potential that ferroelectrics may offer as regards catalysis optimization.

Quantum simulation based on efficient schemes like density functional theory has been critical to our current understanding of ferroelectrics, featuring a long list of important predictions that were later confirmed experimentally. These methods also offer a very reliable approach to qualitative and quasi-quantitative studies of chemical reactions on surfaces. Hence, in this project we will use quantum-mechanical simulation to address the above-mentioned questions about water splitting on ferroelectrics. For example, we will study model ferroelectric materials and surfaces – both in idealized conditions and for realistic temperatures and water coverage levels – to identify the main factors affecting the interaction with H2O molecules and their eventual splitting. Once the critical ingredients are identified, we will propose modified ferroelectric compounds that should display an enhanced performance and use simulations to verify our hypotheses. We will be in contact with experimental LIST groups working on ferroelectrics and water splitting to potentially verify our most promising predictions.

The research with be supervised by Prof. Jorge Íñiguez (jorge.iniguez@list.lu), whose work can be consulted in Google Scholar, and to whom interested candidates are welcome to address their queries.

Nanostructured ferroelectric materials are a focus of attention today, with many incredible results being regularly published in top magazines like Nature and Science. One big reason for this excitement are the novel ferroelectric textures that these compounds display when reduced to nanometric dimensions and subject to suitable elastic and electric boundary conditions. Most remarkably, these include topologically non-trivial states called skyrmions and often present very interesting and potentially useful properties ranging from “voltage amplification” (which could lead to the development of low-power electronics) to tunable high-frequency responses (needed for ultra-broadband communications) or ultra-fast low-voltage ferroelectric switching (to develop next-generation memories and transistors). Hence, nanostructured ferroelectrics are one of today’s most exciting fields for both research in fundamental physics and the potential development of disruptive technologies.

Theoretical and simulation methods have been critical to advance our understanding and control of these fascinating materials, but we are already exhausting the possibilities of the existing tools. On one hand, atomistic methods do not allow us to access the mesoscopic length and time scales that are relevant to some of the most interesting phenomena (e.g., skyrmion manipulation). On the other hand, continuum field theories employ models that are too rough to capture the atomistic complexities of these nanostructures and, thus, do not allow us to run truly predictive simulations.

We offer a 2-year postdoc position to join the project “Ferrodynamics”, led by Jorge Íñiguez and focused on the development of continuum methods that retain the accuracy and predictive power of atomistic simulations while allowing to tackle the relevant mesoscales of interest. The postdoc will join the ongoing work, with a particular focus on the application of the new phase-field methods to investigate selected exciting problems, most likely in connection with the dynamical response of complex ferroelectric states.

The research with be in line with recent activities led by Prof. Jorge Íñiguez (jorge.iniguez@list.lu), whose work can be consulted in Google Scholar, and to whom interested candidates are welcome to address their queries.
