The Leibniz-Institut für Kristallzüchtung currently looking for a

**PhD Student (M/F/d)**

for the topic:
**“Kinetic Monte Carlo Simulations for the Solution Growth of Herbertsmithite”**

Starting Time: January 2025

Recently, it was found that Herbertsmithite exhibits quantum spin liquid properties and thus the growth of high quality crystals became of great interest. At SIMaP (CNRS) in Grenoble crystals are grown from solution and the growth is investigated by in-situ optical microscopy.

In an ANR-DFG French-German joint project we want to investigate the growth kinetics in more detail by advanced in-situ techniques (Grenoble) and numerical simulations of the step growth by means of kinetic Monte Carlo method (IKZ).

At IKZ a kinetic Monte Carlo tool has been developed in the programming language julia. This allows a very flexible use and extension. In particular the work covers
- developing an appropriate model to represent the main possible processes at the surface,
- extending the KMC tool to cover all necessary features,
- including transport in solution into KMC simulations,
- running simulations and compare to experimental results,
- interacting closely with the PhD student at SIMaP who will perform the experiments with in-situ measurements.

The overall goal is to understand the growth kinetics of herbertsmithite during the growth from solution and to control the morphology of the evolving surface.

**Requirements**:

- Master in physics, chemistry, mathematics or related fields
- Knowledge in materials science
- Knowledge of python.
