[Contrat doctoral] PhD 2026: Élaboration d’une nouvelle génération de composites métal–MXenes à hautes performances mécaniques et tribologiques à Centre de Mise en Forme des Matériaux (CEMEF)

Fri, 29 May 2026 17:53:06 +0200

Contexte général du projet de recherche :

Depuis une quinzaine d’années, les matériaux bidimensionnels ont changé la conception des nouveaux matériaux. Initialement dominé par le graphène, le domaine s’est élargi avec l’apparition des MXenes en 2011, une famille de carbures et nitrures métalliques lamellaires aujourd’hui très étudiée.

Les MXenes associent des propriétés rarement réunies : excellente conductivité électrique, bonne rigidité, stabilité thermique élevée et chimie de surface riche et modulable.

Objectifs de la thèse

Cette thèse vise à concevoir des composites métalliques renforcés par des phases MAX (Ti₃AlC₂) et des MXènes (Ti₃C₂Tz, où Tz désigne les terminaisons –F, –Cl, –OH, etc.), en utilisant le procédé SPS (Spark Plasma Sintering), qui associe compaction en matrice fermée et chauffage par effet Joule afin d’obtenir des performances tribologiques et mécaniques améliorées.

Une première phase consistera en une étude bibliographique approfondie pour analyser les travaux existants sur les composites à base de phases MAX et MXenes, identifier les verrous scientifiques et technologiques, et définir les orientations expérimentales pertinentes.

La partie expérimentale du projet cherchera à établir des liens entre la morphologie, la taille et la proportion des phases renforçantes, leur dispersion dans la matrice et le comportement global du matériau, afin d’identifier le meilleur compromis entre résistance mécanique et performance tribologique. La démarche reposera sur une caractérisation fine de la microstructure des composites, ainsi que sur l’évaluation de leurs propriétés mécaniques (indentation, compression) et tribologiques dans différentes conditions opératoires.

Une attention particulière sera portée à l’analyse des mécanismes d’usure et de déformation pour établir des relations structure–propriétés–performances et optimiser ces composites pour des applications industrielles.

[Contrat doctoral] Modélisation atomistique du comportement mécanique d’alliages à haute entropie (HEA) à Centre SMS de l'Ecole des Mines de Saint-Etienne

Fri, 29 May 2026 17:53:06 +0200

Depuis l’âge du bronze, on sait qu’ajouter certains éléments d’addition à un métal permet de le durcir: le bronze est un alliage de cuivre et d’étain, plus dur que le cuivre ou l’étain purs. Le comportement mécanique de ces alliages est gouverné par des défauts nanométriques, les dislocations, qui sont les vecteurs de la déformation plastique dans les matériaux métalliques. Dans de tels alliages, les atomes de soluté (l’étain dans le bronze) forment une solution solide qui entrave le mouvement des dislocations, ce qui augmente la limite élastique sans compromettre la ductilité.

Les alliages métalliques en cours de développement exploitent ce mécanisme de durcissement par solution solide. C'est notamment le cas des alliages à haute entropie (HEA), qui sont constitués de plusieurs éléments en proportions comparables, formant ainsi une solution solide complexe. Les HEA de structure cubique à faces centrées (fcc) offrent un compromis exceptionnel entre résistance mécanique et ductilité, ce qui les rend prometteurs pour des applications industrielles dans les domaines de l’énergie ou de l’aéronautique. Comme pour les alliages classiques, leurs propriétés mécaniques dépendent fortement de la structure atomique locale et de la présence de défauts cristallins (dislocations, macles, fautes d’empilement). Le dopage à l’azote, dont les atomes restent en solution solide, permet d’accroître encore davantage la limite d’élasticité de ces alliages [1]. L’objectif de ce projet de recherche est d’étudier l’influence des atomes de soluté d’azote sur le comportement mécanique des HEA FeCrNiMn à l’échelle nanométrique.

La dynamique moléculaire (MD) est une méthode de modélisation atomistique qui permet d’étudier les phénomènes de plasticité à l’échelle nanométrique. Lors de cette thèse, l’étudiant développera un potentiel interatomique intégrant les interactions entre les atomes d’éléments d’alliage et les atomes de soluté d’azote. Ce potentiel constituera une extension de celui proposé par Daramola et al. [2], initialement développé pour les HEA FeCrNiMn sans azote. Dans un second temps, des essais mécaniques seront réalisés avec et sans dopage en azote, afin d’analyser l’influence des atomes de soluté sur la plasticité à l’échelle des défauts cristallins.

[Contrat doctoral] Croissance intelligente d'oxydes thermoélectriques par épitaxie assistée par suivi operando et apprentissage automatique à Institut des Nanotechnologies de Lyon (INL)

Fri, 29 May 2026 17:53:06 +0200

CONTEXTE ET MOTIVATION
Ce projet de doctorat sera réalisé à l'Institut des Nanotechnologies de Lyon (INL) au sein de l'équipe « Matériaux Fonctionnels et Nanostructures », dans le cadre du projet PEPR DIADEM CINEMA financé (2026-2030). La recherche porte sur le développement de stratégies de croissance intelligentes pour des couches minces d'oxydes fonctionnels par épitaxie par jets moléculaires (MBE), combinée à un suivi in situ et des approches d'apprentissage automatique. L'optimisation de la relation entre les conditions de croissance et les propriétés des matériaux fonctionnels repose encore largement sur des approches empiriques telles que l'essai-erreur ou le plan d'expériences. Ces méthodes sont coûteuses en temps et en ressources et requièrent des processus d’élaboration très stables, rarement atteints en pratique. Ce projet propose de développer une nouvelle méthodologie de contrôle intelligent de la croissance appliquée au BaSnO₃ de type p, un oxyde pérovskite à large bande interdite présentant un intérêt croissant pour l'électronique transparente et les applications thermoélectriques, basée sur l'utilisation combinée d'outils avancés de caractérisation in situ et en temps réel ainsi que des analyses de données pilotées par l'apprentissage automatique. La chambre MBE d'oxydes de l'INL est équipée de plusieurs techniques de surveillance en temps réel, notamment la diffraction d'électrons de haute énergie en réflexion (RHEED), l'ellipsométrie spectroscopique, la mesure de courbure du substrat et la mesure optique des flux. Ces outils fournissent des informations complémentaires sur la structure de surface, la dynamique de croissance, les propriétés optiques, les contraintes et la stoechiométrie lors du dépôt de couches minces. L'objectif de la thèse est d'exploiter ces mesures, combinées à une approche d'apprentissage automatique, pour développer des modèles basés sur les données capables de corréler les paramètres de croissance et les propriétés fonctionnelles du BaSnO₃ de type p. Le BaSnO₃ est un oxyde pérovskite reconnu pour sa très haute mobilité électronique dans sa forme de type n (dopé La), mais son homologue de type p reste largement inexploré et mal maîtrisé, ce qui en fait une cible particulièrement pertinente et intéressante pour ce projet.

OBJECTIFS DE LA THESE DE DOCTORAT
La thèse de doctorat combine analyse de données et recherche en matériaux. L'objectif sera de développer deux approches complémentaires pour l'optimisation de la croissance. La première approche est basée sur des mesures operando couplées, combinant la surveillance en temps réel de la courbure, le RHEED et l'ellipsométrie spectroscopique, afin de sonder directement l'état structural et optique du film en cours de croissance et d'acquérir une compréhension approfondie de la physique de la croissance et de l'impact réel des paramètres d'élaboration sur les propriétés des matériaux. La deuxième approche repose sur des algorithmes d'apprentissage automatique supervisé (ML) et d'optimisation bayésienne (OB) pour établir des corrélations entre les principaux paramètres d'élaboration (flux de Ba, flux de Sn, flux de dopant, pression d'O₂, température de substrat) et une propriété fonctionnelle du matériau telle que la résistivité électrique. Ces méthodes sont particulièrement bien adaptées aux petits jeux de données expérimentaux, tels que ceux rencontrés typiquement en MBE. Pour entraîner et valider ces modèles, la base de données sera d'abord construite à partir de données de BaSnO₃ de type n extraites de la littérature, un système bien documenté qui constitue un référentiel idéal. Le doctorant construira ensuite sa propre base de données expérimentales à partir de ses propres croissances de BaSnO₃ de type p, enrichissant progressivement le modèle avec des données originales. Une fois cette méthodologie validée sur le système de type n, l'objectif final sera d'appliquer les deux approches — contrôle operando et optimisation guidée par ML — à la croissance et aux mesures in situ et d'établir des corrélations entre les conditions de croissance et les propriétés des matériaux. En combinant la surveillance operando, l'apprentissage automatique et les caractérisations ex situ, le projet vise à établir des modèles prédictifs reliant les paramètres de croissance, la chimie des défauts et les propriétés de transport, avec pour objectif final d'obtenir un BaSnO₃ de type p haute performance avec une résistivité et une concentration en porteurs optimisées, au-delà de l'état de l'art actuel.

Profil de recherche et compétences requises : • Diplôme de master (M2 ou équivalent) en physique, science des matériaux ou dans un domaine connexe, de préférence avec un mémoire de master lié au traitement de données par IA • Intérêt pour la science des matériaux expérimentale et la croissance de couches minces • Connaissances en apprentissage automatique ou en analyse de données appliquée à la science des matériaux • Expérience en croissance et caractérisation de couches minces • Motivation pour travailler avec des techniques avancées de caractérisation et de croissance • Le candidat doit être capable de travailler de manière autonome tout en collaborant efficacement avec l'équipe de recherche. • De bonnes aptitudes à la communication et une maîtrise de l'anglais sont requises.

[Contrat doctoral] Smart growth of thermoelectric oxides by epitaxy assisted with operando monitoring and machine learning à Institut des Nanotechnologies de Lyon (INL)

Fri, 29 May 2026 17:53:06 +0200

CONTEXT AND MOTIVATION
This PhD project will be carried out at the Institut des Nanotechnologies de Lyon (INL) within the “Functional Materials and Nanostructures” team, within the framework of the funded PEPR DIADEM CINEMA project (2026-2030). The research focuses on the development of smart growth strategies for functional oxide thin films using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) combined with in situ monitoring and machine learning approaches. Optimizing the relationship between growth conditions and material properties in functional materials still largely relies on empirical approaches such as trial-and-error or design of experiments. These methods are time and resource consuming and require highly stable processes that are rarely achieved in practice. This project proposes to develop a new methodology for smart growth control applied to p-type BaSnO₃, a wide-bandgap perovskite oxide of growing interest for transparent electronics and thermoelectric applications, based on the combined use of advanced in situ characterization tools and machine learning-driven data analysis. The oxide MBE chamber at INL is equipped with several real-time monitoring techniques including reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED), spectroscopic ellipsometry, wafer curvature measurements, and optical flux monitoring. These tools provide complementary information about surface structure, growth dynamics, optical properties, strain, and stoichiometry during thin film deposition. The objective of the PhD thesis is to exploit these measurements, combined with machine learning approach, to develop data-driven models capable of correlating the growth parameter and functional properties of p-type BaSnO₃. BaSnO₃ is a perovskite oxide known for its exceptionally high electron mobility in its n-type form (La-doped), but its p-type counterpart remains largely unexplored and poorly controlled, making it a highly relevant and challenging target for this project.

OBJECTIVES
The PhD thesis combines data-driven analysis and materials research. The objective will be to develop two complementary approaches for growth optimization. The first approach is based on coupled operando measurements, combining real-time curvature monitoring, RHEED, and spectroscopic ellipsometry to directly probe the structural and optical state of the growing film in order a deep understanding of the growth physics and the truly impact of elaboration parameters on materials properties. The second approach relies on supervised machine learning (ML) and Baysian Optimisation (BO) algorithms to establish correlations between the key elaboration parameters (Ba flux, Sn flux, dopant flux, O₂ pressure, substrate temperature) and a functional material property such as the electrical resistivity. These methods are particularly well suited to small experimental datasets, as typically encountered in MBE. To train and validate these models, the database will first be built using n-type BaSnO₃ data extracted from the literature, a well-documented system that serves as an ideal benchmark. The PhD student will then construct their own experimental database from their own growth runs of p-type BaSnO₃, progressively enriching the model with original data. Once this methodology is validated on the n-type system, the final objective will be to apply both approaches — operando control and ML-guided optimization — to the growth of in situ measurements and establish correlations between growth conditions and material properties. By combining operando monitoring, machine learning and ex situ characterization, the project aims to establish predictive models linking growth parameters, defect chemistry, and transport properties, with the ultimate goal of achieving high-performance p-type BaSnO₃ with optimized resistivity and carrier concentration beyond the current state of the art.

Profil recherché :
Research profile & skills (required / highly desirable): - Master degree (M2 or equivalent) in physics, materials science or a related field preferably with a master thesis related to IA data treatment - Interest in experimental materials science and thin-film growth - Knowledge in machine learning or data analysis applied to materials science - Experience in thin film growth and characterization - Motivation to work with advanced characterization and growth techniques - The candidate should be able to work independently while collaborating effectively with the research team. - Good communication skills and fluency in English are required.

[Contrat doctoral] Intégration hétérogène d’oxydes fonctionnels par micro-transfert printing (μTP) à Institut des Nanotechnologies de Lyon (INL)

Fri, 29 May 2026 17:53:06 +0200

CONTEXT
Le micro transfert printing (μTP) est une technique de micro-assemblage émergente qui permet de transférer des microstructures (semi-conducteurs, composants optoélectroniques, circuits passifs, etc.) d’un substrat donneur vers un substrat receveur, avec une grande précision spatiale. Cette technologie est particulièrement bien adaptée à l’intégration hétérogène, c’est-à-dire à l’assemblage de matériaux ou de composants très différents sur un même support [1]. Une des caractéristiques de la technologie repose sur la préparation du substrat source et notamment de la couche sacrificielle qui permet de libérer le composant à transférer.
Les oxydes fonctionnels, oxydes cristallins de métaux de transition aux nombreuses propriétés remarquables (ferroélectriques, piézoélectriques, ferromagnétiques, électro-optiques, thermoélectriques,…), permettent d’adresser de nombreuses applications clefs (mémoires non volatiles basse consommation, modulateurs électro-optiques ultra-rapides, capteurs ultra-sensibles, actuateurs, refroidisseurs, générateurs,...). Cependant, un déploiement de dispositifs d’oxydes fonctionnels sur des plateformes technologiques industrielles reste limité à cause de certains verrous. La plupart des dispositifs adressant ces applications nécessitent d’une part des couches minces épitaxiées (contrôle de l’orientation cristalline, souvent sur des substrats monocristallins particuliers qui ne sont pas compatibles avec une production à l’échelle industrielle), et d’autre part des couches minces micro/nano-structurées (circuits photoniques, électroniques, thermoélectriques,…).
Afin de dépasser les verrous actuels, une des pistes prometteuses à étudier est d’utiliser des couches épitaxiées d’oxydes sacrificiels solubles dans l’eau [2-6] qui permettraient, par micro-transfert printing (μTP), le détachement/report de micro/nano-structures d’oxydes fonctionnels sur un substrat technologique de choix. Ainsi, des dispositifs avancés à base d’oxydes fonctionnels pourraient être fabriqués. Cette thèse a pour ambition de développer les premières briques pour ouvrir cette voie innovante.

OBJECTIFS
Nous souhaitons développer et démontrer la faisabilité générique de ce procédé innovant en ciblant des couches d’oxydes fonctionnels de structure pérovskite (de formule chimique générale ABO3) et leur report par μTP sur des substrats technologiques de choix pour différentes applications dans les domaines de la photonique (oxydes ferroélectriques) et de l’énergie (oxydes thermoélectriques). Le procédé envisagé, ainsi que les objectifs ciblés sont décrits ci-après :
1. Elaboration par MBE de couches épitaxiées d’oxydes sacrificiels solubles à l’eau (e.g. SrO)
2. Reprise de croissance épitaxiale d’oxydes fonctionnels de structure pérovskite (e.g. BaTiO3)
3. Détachement et report par micro-transfert printing (μTP) sur SOI ou SiO2/Si
4. Fabrication de micro-dispositifs d’oxydes fonctionnels intégrés

SAVOIR-FAIRE INL
- Croissance épitaxiale par MBE de SrO sur SrTiO3(001) [7]
- Croissance épitaxiale par MBE de BaTiO3 ferroélectrique [8]
- Croissance épitaxiale par MBE de Sr1-xLaxTiO3 thermoélectrique [9]
- Détachement et report par μTP de lasers à cascade sur Si [10]

[Contrat doctoral] Heterogeneous integration of functional oxides by micro-transfert printing (μTP) à Institut des Nanotechnologies de Lyon (INL)

Fri, 29 May 2026 17:53:06 +0200

CONTEXT
Micro-transfer printing (μTP) is an emerging micro-assembly technique that enables the transfer of microstructures (semiconductors, optoelectronic components, passive circuits, etc.) from a donor substrate to a receiver substrate with high spatial precision. This technology is particularly well suited for heterogeneous integration, i.e., the assembly of highly dissimilar materials or components onto the same platform [1]. One of the key aspects of this technology lies in the preparation of the source substrate, particularly the sacrificial layer that enables the release of the component to be transferred.
Functional oxides, crystalline transition-metal oxides exhibiting numerous remarkable properties (ferroelectric, piezoelectric, ferromagnetic, electro-optic, thermoelectric, etc.), enable a wide range of key applications (low-power non-volatile memories, ultra-fast electro-optic modulators, ultra-sensitive sensors, actuators, coolers, generators, etc.). However, the deployment of functional oxide devices on industrial technological platforms remains limited due to several technological barriers. Most devices targeting these applications require, on the one hand, epitaxial thin films (with controlled crystalline orientation, often grown on specific single-crystal substrates that are not compatible with large-scale industrial production), and, on the other hand, micro-/nano-structured thin films (photonic, electronic, thermoelectric circuits, etc.).
To overcome these current limitations, one promising approach is the use of epitaxial water-soluble sacrificial oxide layers [2–6], which would enable, through micro-transfer printing (μTP), the release and transfer of micro-/nano-structured functional oxides onto a chosen technological substrate. In this way, advanced devices based on functional oxides could be fabricated. The ambition of this PhD project is to develop the first building blocks required to open up this innovative pathway.

OBJECTIVES
We aim to develop and demonstrate the generic feasibility of this innovative process by targeting functional oxide layers with a perovskite structure (general chemical formula ABO₃) and their transfer via μTP onto selected technological substrates for various applications in the fields of photonics (ferroelectric oxides) and energy (thermoelectric oxides). The proposed process, as well as the targeted objectives, are described below:
1. Growth by MBE of epitaxial water-soluble sacrificial oxide layers (e.g. SrO)
2. Epitaxial regrowth of functional oxides with a perovskite structure (e.g. BaTiO₃)
3. Release and transfer by micro-transfer printing (μTP) onto SOI or SiO₂/Si substrates
4. Fabrication of micro-devices based on integrated functional oxides

KNOW-HOW at INL:

- Epitaxial growth by MBE of SrO layers on SrTiO3(001) [7]
- Epitaxial growth by MBE of ferroelectric BaTiO3 layers [8]
- Epitaxial growth by MBE of thermoelectric Sr1-xLaxTiO3 layers [9]
- Release and transfer by μTP of interband cascade lasers on Si [10]

[Contrat doctoral] PhD 2026: MXènes fonctionnalisés comme additifs de lubrification avancés à Centre de Mise en Forme des Matériaux (CEMEF)

Fri, 29 May 2026 17:53:06 +0200

Contexte général du projet de recherche :

Les pertes d’énergie liées aux frottements et à l’usure représentent aujourd’hui un enjeu industriel majeur, avec un impact direct sur l’efficacité énergétique et la durée de vie des contacts. Dans ce contexte, le développement de nouveaux additifs de lubrification haute performance constitue un défi scientifique et technologique important. Parmi les nanomatériaux émergents, les MXènes attirent un intérêt croissant grâce à leurs propriétés remarquables : structure lamellaire favorable au glissement, excellente stabilité chimique, forte résistance mécanique et grande capacité de fonctionnalisation. Ces caractéristiques font des MXènes des candidats prometteurs pour réduire les frottements et limiter l’usure dans les systèmes lubrifiés.

Cependant, plusieurs verrous scientifiques doivent encore être levés avant l’intégration des MXènes dans des formulations lubrifiantes performantes. Le premier défi concerne leur dispersion homogène et leur stabilité à long terme dans les huiles, conditions indispensables pour garantir des performances fiables. La compatibilité des MXènes avec les additifs conventionnels utilisés dans les formulations industrielles constitue également un enjeu important. Par ailleurs, le contrôle de la taille et de la morphologie des feuillets est essentiel afin d’assurer une alimentation efficace du contact tribologique et de favoriser la formation de tribofilms protecteurs. La maîtrise de la composition chimique des MXènes représente un autre paramètre clé pour optimiser leurs interactions avec les surfaces en contact. Cette thèse s’inscrit dans cette dynamique et vise à développer des MXènes comme additifs de lubrification haute performance.

Objectifs de la thèse

Durant cette thèse, le/la doctorant(e) combinera différentes approches expérimentales afin de mieux comprendre le comportement tribologique des MXènes utilisés comme additifs de lubrification. Les travaux porteront sur la synthèse et la fonctionnalisation de différentes familles de MXènes, ainsi que sur leur intégration dans des formulations lubrifiantes modèles. Le/la doctorant(e) développera des protocoles de dispersion et de fonctionnalisation chimique visant à améliorer la stabilité des MXènes dans les huiles et à optimiser leurs interactions avec les surfaces en contact.

Les formulations élaborées seront ensuite évaluées à l’aide d’essais tribologiques réalisés dans des conditions contrôlées afin d’étudier leur capacité à réduire les frottements et l’usure. Les mécanismes de lubrification seront analysés à travers une caractérisation approfondie des surfaces et des tribofilms formés pendant les essais. L’objectif sera d’identifier les mécanismes responsables des performances observées et d’établir les relations entre la structure et la chimie des MXènes, leur fonctionnalisation et leur comportement tribologique.

[Contrat doctoral] THESE - IMPACT DES NUITS CHAUDES SUR LE SOMMEIL ET LA SANTE F/H à CSTB Grenoble

Fri, 29 May 2026 17:53:06 +0200

La Direction Energie Environnement recherche un(e) doctorant(e) pour une durée de 3 ans dans le cadre du sujet de recherche : Impact des nuits chaudes sur le sommeil et la santé : interactions entre environnement bâti, thermophysiologie du sommeil et stratégies adaptatives des occupants. Le poste est basé à Grenoble.

Dans un contexte de changement climatique, les vagues de chaleur, de plus en plus fréquentes et intenses, dégradent le confort thermique intérieur et la qualité du sommeil. En 2025, le gouvernement a publié le Plan national d’adaptation au changement climatique (PNACC) ainsi qu’une feuille de route interministérielle sur le sommeil. Pourtant, l’impact des fortes chaleurs sur le sommeil reste peu étudié.

Cette thèse s’inscrit au CSTB, en partenariat avec l’INSERM (neurosciences du sommeil) et une chercheuse CNRS en thermophysiologie. Elle vise à identifier, mesurer et modéliser les liens entre microclimat nocturne dans des logements non climatisés et dégradation objectivable du sommeil, en conditions réelles. Elle adopte une approche intégrée croisant microclimat, thermophysiologie, neurosciences du sommeil et comportements adaptatifs (fenêtres, ventilateurs).

Le projet de thèse consiste à développer un protocole de mesure in situ et mener une campagne expérimentale afin de constituer une base de données associant données sur le microclimat intérieur à la chambre, la thermophysiologie du corps humain, le sommeil des occupants et leurs actions adaptatives associées. Cette base de données permettra de construire un modèle prédictif dynamique du sommeil en fonction des conditions intérieures et des comportements des occupants, notamment en situation de surchauffe nocturne.

Ces travaux aboutiront à la création d'un indicateur opérationnel de dégradation du sommeil associés à des valeurs repères (température, humidité, vitesse d’air, bruit, luminosité), valorisables auprès des acteurs du bâtiment à travers des labels ou la future règlementation environnementale.

L’originalité repose sur l’interdisciplinarité (thermique du bâtiment, thermophysiologie, neurosciences, comportements). Les travaux s’inscrivent dans le projet international Annex95 de l’Agence Internationale de l’Énergie.

Vos principales missions seront les suivantes :

Réaliser un état de l’art sur les méthodes de mesure physiologiques (EEG, actimétrie, rythme circadien, etc.) du sommeil et les modèles de sommeil existants
Identifier les méthodes de mesure pertinentes et leurs limites selon les contextes applicatifs et proposer un protocole de mesure et un plan d’expérience
Étudier comment les différentes briques de modélisation (modèles physiologiques, empiriques, data-driven…) peuvent s’articuler entre elles pour construire un modèle cohérent

Profil recherché :
Vous êtes titulaire d'un diplôme de niveau Master ou ingénieur (thermique du bâtiment, data science, bio-ingénierie, neurosciences, modélisation, mathématiques appliquées, statistiques, …). Vous avez une appétence pour le travail expérimental, l’analyse statistique et la modélisation numérique. Vous disposez d'une capacité d'analyse et de synthèse.

[Contrat doctoral] Machine-learning assisted modeling of single-atom catalysts for CO₂ hydrogenation to methanol à Univ. Lorraine CNRS

Fri, 29 May 2026 17:53:06 +0200

Context

The catalytic conversion of CO₂ into methanol is a central route for turning an abundant carbon source into a liquid energy carrier and chemical intermediate. At the atomic scale, this reaction depends on a delicate balance between CO₂ activation, hydrogen transfer, stabilization of C1 oxygenated intermediates and desorption of methanol or competing products. Small changes in the local geometry or electronic structure of the active site can therefore redirect the reaction pathway, which makes surface-level understanding essential for rational catalyst design.

Single-atom catalysts supported by graphene or N-doped graphene offer a controlled platform for this problem. An isolated transition-metal atom coordinated in a carbon/nitrogen environment can provide a well-defined active site while maximizing metal efficiency. However, the relevant chemical space remains large: the metal identity, coordination motif, nearby defects, hydrogen coverage and reaction intermediates all modify activity and selectivity. Density functional theory can describe these effects accurately, but systematic exploration of many sites and elementary steps rapidly becomes computationally expensive. Conversely, general-purpose machine-learning potentials are not yet sufficiently reliable for rare reactive configurations at surfaces. The central idea of this PhD project is to build a focused, data-efficient modeling strategy for this specific class of reactive interfaces.

PhD project

The thesis will develop a computational workflow to study CO₂ hydrogenation on graphene-supported single-atom catalysts, with emphasis on transition-metal sites coordinated by carbon and nitrogen motifs. The first step will be to establish a robust DFT reference for representative adsorption states and elementary reaction steps, including CO₂ bending/activation, hydrogen addition, formate or carboxyl-like intermediates, methoxy formation and methanol release. This reference will be used to identify the structural motifs and reaction coordinates that control activity and selectivity.

The methodological core of the work will be the construction of an informative training set rather than the accumulation of a large, redundant database. Candidate configurations will be generated from DFT relaxations, reaction-path searches, molecular dynamics snapshots and targeted distortions around key intermediates. They will then be filtered using structural diversity, physical consistency and uncertainty indicators, so that expensive reference calculations are concentrated on configurations that genuinely improve the model. Based on this curated data, the PhD student will train and test machine-learning force fields or Δ-learning corrections able to reproduce energies, forces and selected reaction barriers in the relevant domain. The aim is to obtain models that are useful for catalyst screening because their limits are explicitly diagnosed, not simply because they perform well on equilibrium structures.

Scientifically, the project will address three linked questions: which metal–coordination environments activate CO₂ without trapping intermediates too strongly; which elementary steps are most sensitive to the local structure of the single-atom site; and how far active data selection can reduce the cost of atomistic modelling while preserving quantitative accuracy on reaction energetics. The project naturally builds on previous IJL work on alloy surfaces, adsorption and CO₂ hydrogenation, and on recent developments in machine-learning potentials for surfaces and reactive interfaces.

Profil recherché :
AApplicant skills: Strong background in chemistry, physical chemistry, materials science, or condensed matter physics. Experience in data science, Python programming, high-performance computing and/or quantum chemistry will be considered an asset. Excellent communication skills are essential, with the ability to work and exchange ideas effectively both orally and in writing. English speaking is required. The application should include a statement of research interest, a CV and Master’s degree transcript.

[Contrat doctoral] PHYSICO-CHIMIE DE L’INTERFACE VERRE/ETAIN : ROLE DU REDOX DANS LE RECYCLAGE DES VERRES PHOTOVOLTAÏQUES à Sorbonne Université / Saint Gobain

Fri, 29 May 2026 17:53:06 +0200

Nous recherchons un(e) candidat(e) motivé(e) pour un doctorat dans le cadre du projet ANR GRISBI, qui s’attaque à un défi majeur de durabilité : le recyclage du verre photovoltaïque contenant de l’antimoine (Sb).

Contexte

Environ 90 % des verres issus de panneaux photovoltaïques en fin de vie contiennent de l’antimoine (Sb), ce qui empêche actuellement leur réutilisation dans l’industrie du verre plat. Ce doctorat vise à lever ce verrou en étudiant les interactions redox complexes à l’interface entre le verre fondu et l’étain liquide, au cœur du procédé industriel de flottage du verre.

La fabrication du verre plat repose en Europe sur le procédé industriel « Float », où la fonte verrière est coulée sur un bain d’étain liquide sous atmosphère contrôlée. Ce procédé met en jeu des phénomènes complexes d’oxydo-réduction à l’interface verre/métal, encore insuffisamment compris, mais déterminants pour la qualité finale du verre, le rendement du procédé et son efficacité énergétique.

Objectif du projet

L’objectif de la thèse consistera à mieux comprendre les mécanismes physico-chimiques à l’interface entre un verre sodo-calcique et le bain d’étain, afin d’identifier les paramètres clés qui gouvernent ces interactions. Les travaux porteront en particulier sur (i) l’étude de l’état redox des éléments multivalents, notamment le Sb, en fonction des conditions de synthèse et de la composition, et (ii) l’influence du bain d’étain sur la physico-chimie du verre à l’interface.

Les échantillons obtenus seront analysés le long des profils de diffusion afin de déterminer leur composition, leur état redox et leur microstructure. Cette caractérisation s’appuiera sur un ensemble de techniques de caractérisations avancées, incluant les spectroscopies UV-Visible, Raman, XANES/EXAFS, la résonance paramagnétique électronique (RPE) ainsi que la microscopie électronique.

Missions principales

Vous étudierez le comportement des éléments multivalents — en particulier l’antimoine — dans différentes conditions expérimentales et leurs interactions avec l’étain fondu. L’objectif est d’identifier les paramètres clés contrôlant ces réactions afin de permettre des voies de recyclage du verre plus efficaces et durables.

Étudier le comportement redox de Sb et d’autres éléments multivalents
Analyser les interactions verre/étain via des expériences de diffusion
