The candidate will focus on the influence of the topotactic reduction on the optical properties of inorganic phases. The materials will be synthesized, characterized by X-ray diffraction and solid-state NMR, and optical / electrical properties will be analyzed.
The PhD program will be carried out at IMN (CNRS institution) in the research group MIOPS. This group is focused on the synthesis and characterization of optical materials (pigments, UV absorbers, transparent conductors, luminescent materials, photocatalytic materials, …).
