Electrochemical permeation and thermal desorption spectroscopy by working on samples of mono and bi crystals

The LaSIE Laboratory at La Rochelle University proposes a 6 months internship at master degree level starting from January 2022 which will lead to a Ph.D position starting in October 2022 supported by the French army (DGA AID).

Restriction: The applicant should be citizen from a European country or Swiss

ADMiRHE Project in partnership with UTEP (university of Texas, El Paso) and US army. 

The objective of the internship is first of all to master the methods of electrochemical permeation and thermal desorption spectroscopy by working on samples of mono and bi crystals as well as on samples from additive manufacturing along. The intern will also have to take charge of the hydrogen diffusion models in finite element computation (in python). This work will be continued as a thesis after having grown bi- and tri-crystal samples constructed by crystal growth via a Czochralski-type oven.

Qualifications :

Master in mechanics of materials, material sciences, mechanical engineering.
Strong interest experimental studies with comprehensive skills in programming (python)
