The diffusion of light alkali-metal ions (such as Li+ or Na+) and the accompanying reduction of transition metals within intercalation materials are fundamental processes in a wide range of battery cathodes. Directly measuring these processes can provide valuable insights for designing novel fast-charging materials. However, techniques capable of capturing information at both atomic length scales and relevant timescales are currently lacking. Accelerator-based x-ray photon sources, such as x-ray free-electron lasers and next-generation storage rings, offer short, intense, tunable, and transversely coherent x-ray pulses with the potential to overcome these limitations. Yet, their application has been restricted due to the absence of suitable methodologies.
The successful candidate will develop the theoretical foundation for a novel technique to address this challenge. This technique will utilize x-ray scattering at the transition-metal K-edge, which is sensitive to the oxidation state of the transition metal, and analyze the resulting time-dependent x-ray speckle patterns, which are sensitive to diffusion. To that end, the candidate will employ state-of-the-art electronic structure theory and molecular dynamics simulations to model local atomic environment changes upon Li+ insertion, such as alterations in transition-metal x-ray scattering properties and displacements of neighboring atoms, as well as Li+ diffusion pathways and rates. Based on these calculations, the candidate will predict the expected measurement signals and determine optimal observation conditions. This study will lay the groundwork for proof-of-principle experiments at x-ray free-electron lasers that will be designed in collaboration with experimental groups. Another specific duty is teaching of four hours per week during teaching times (4 LVS) in the period from as soon as possible until 31.12.2025.
Your profile
A university degree in a relevant field plus doctorate.
