The LGF is a key player in academic research, in strong partnership with industry, positioning itself as a major actor in addressing issues such as:
The LGF is engaged with local academic partners in structuring networks such as LABEX MANUTECH-SISE, EUR MANUTECH-SLEIGHT, at the national level through participation in numerous Research Groups (GDR CNRS) or Research Federations (INGELYSE, HYDROGEN) and contributes to major societal projects at the national and international levels on topics such as decarbonized energy, hydrogen, and more generally the transition of industry towards digitalization with innovative materials and processes.
The SURF team: Surface, Reactivity and functionalization. Our activities focus on the reactivity of surfaces and interfaces in materials in contact with the environment, and on the functionalization of surfaces to achieve specific properties or functions. The team also develops methods for analyzing surfaces and interfaces in materials.
Under the responsibility of Dr Maelig OLLIVIER , in collaboration with Dr Laetitia VIEILLE, your main tasks will be to:
1. Conduct experimental measurements of the oxidation of amorphous metal powders at high temperatures using thermogravimetric analysis and physicochemical characterizations.
2. Model the interactions between amorphous metal powders and oxygen at high temperatures, considering the physico-geometric aspects of the studied system.
3. Produce custom-made amorphous metal powders with different oxygen levels.
4. Disseminate the obtained results through participation in conferences and/or publication of articles in peer-reviewed journals.
Tasks may change depending on the needs of the department and Mines Saint-Etienne.
