About The Position

This role involves analyzing and interpreting magnetic structure factors, identifying and classifying magnetic phases, curating magnetic space group assignments, and evaluating birefringence and magneto-optic Kerr effect (MOKE) signatures for selected materials. The expert will connect optical phenomena to underlying magnetic structure and utilize propagation-vector methodologies and advanced symmetry concepts in condensed matter physics.

Requirements

• Demonstrated proficiency in magnetic structure factor calculations, propagation-vector analysis, and symmetry-based phase identification.
• Direct experience classifying magnetic space groups, with hands-on familiarity with MAGNDATA and BNS notation.
• Strong knowledge of neutron scattering techniques for magnetic structure determination.
• Ability to connect experimental signatures (e.g., birefringence, MOKE) to underlying physical mechanisms.

Nice To Haves

• Advanced academic background (PhD or equivalent research experience) in condensed matter physics, with a specialization in magnetism or related fields.

Responsibilities

• Analyze and interpret magnetic structure factors, utilizing propagation-vector methodologies and advanced symmetry concepts in condensed matter physics.
• Identify and classify magnetic phases (AFM, FM, and related types) using both theoretical and experimental data, including neutron diffraction results.
• Curate and validate magnetic space group assignments with reference to established datasets such as MAGNDATA, ensuring robust correlation with BNS notation conventions.
• Evaluate birefringence and magneto-optic Kerr effect (MOKE) signatures for selected materials, connecting optical phenomena to underlying magnetic structure.
