Our goal is to enable solutions for pressing societal challenges (e.g. communication artificial intelligence climate protection health etc. through modern electronic & photonic technologies. The work covers the entire spectrum from basic and applied research to preindustrial development and is carried out in cooperation with national and international partners from universities academies and industry. The institute is part of the Forschungsverbund Berlin ( and a member of the Leibniz Association ().
The LeibnizInstitut fr Kritallzchtung currently looking for a
Master student (m/f/d)
for themaster thesis topic:
In Situ Environmental TEM and SEM for UVLED Materials
Insitu environmental transmission electron microscopy (ETEM) enables realtime observation of dynamic material processes under controlled conditions such as heating electrical biasing and exposure to various gas or liquid environments. This technique allows for the correlated acquisition of structural and chemical changes in the specimen at the atomic level in real time. To fully leverage the insights gained from insitu ETEM it is essential to integrate complementary experimental techniques under identical environmental conditions. This integration enables the correlation of nanometer and micrometerscale imaging techniques.
The aim of this masters thesis is to develop a setup methodology and workflow for implementing an ETEM platform within a scanning electron microscopy (SEM) system. This integration will allow for correlative analysis of secondary electrons transmitted electrons and cathodoluminescence (CL) signals. The primary focus will be on UV lightemitting diodes (UVLEDs) which continue to face challenges related to low efficiency.
The candidate should possess a bachelors degree or its equivalent in physics physical chemistry materials science or a related discipline. Preference will be given to candidates with a background in electron microscopy and in Python programming.
The LeibnizInstitut fr Kristallzchtung actively supports a healthy worklife balance and is an equal opportunities employer. Female candidates are encouraged to apply and will be given preference if suitably qualified. Among equally qualified candidates preference will be given to candidates with disabilities.
