to work on Resonant Infrared Control of Electrochemical Reactions

This new project is a collaboration between and the of the FHI, and combines the expertise in nonlinear infrared spectroscopy and electrochemistry, respectively, in order to control electrochemical reactions with strong, narrow-band infrared excitation. We will employ the in-house infrared free-electron laser () to selectively excite molecular species at electrochemical interfaces in operando, in order to steer reaction rates and selectivity. To differentiate resonant excitation from non-resonant heating effects, we will combine pulsed FEL excitation with electrochemical potential modulation.

Requirements

Applicants should hold a Ph.D. in physics, chemistry, materials science or related fields, with a strong background in experimental optics. A basic understanding of electrochemistry, as well as solid state physics and light matter interaction would be highly beneficial. Additionally, applicants should have experimental experience in one or more of these areas :

• Nonlinear spectroscopy
• Pump-probe spectroscopy
• THz spectroscopy
• Optical microscopy

Moreover, candidates are expected to have
