Solid-state NMR

…devices for energy storage, using solid-state NMR to gain structural insight. The postholder leads and manages the group's NMR facility, independently develops new magnetic resonance approaches for studying climate-mitigation materials, leads student training in magnetic resonance, co-supervises

Study lithium-ion transport in oxide solid electrolytes and all-solid-state batteries, connecting atomic and nanoscale diffusion with crystal structure, local structure, ion correlations and ionic conductivity. Methods include solid-state NMR, pulsed-field-gradient and two-dimensional exchange NMR, impedance spectroscopy and tracer diffusion. Research emphasizes garnet-type oxides and correlated or cooperative ion motion. One position in the Solid State Battery Ionics Group at NIMS; start 1 October 2026 or later. Initial term one year, with annual review and a maximum of five years. Published
