TESI (dottorato di ricerca, laurea magistrale) SPERIMENTALI IN FISICA
Doctoral Thesis (PhD) in Physics (3 years)
The International School of Advanced Studies of the University of Camerino aims to increase the participation of foreign candidates in our PhD programs. Foreign candidates will receive preferential treatment in the awarding of PhD fellowships within the international School of Advanced Studies.
The PhD courses involve 3 years of study and research, with a final thesis written in English. Teaching activities mainly involve seminars and topical Short Courses; research experience in foreign laboratories (mandatory for about 6 months, in 3 years of PhD) is actively encouraged.
Please see the relevant links for the PhD program at Camerino University.
The active research lines of the XAS group at the University of Camerino can be summarised as follows:
1) Study and characterization of disordered and ill-ordered materials under extreme conditions using synchrotron radiation and laboratory techniques.
2) Development of ultrafast measurements of phase transitions in matter under extreme and/or non-equilibrium conditions using 4th generation radiation sources (free-electron laser).
3) Study and characterization of innovative nanomaterials with advanced x-ray and electron microscopy techniques for Li ion batteries, fuel cell and energy storage applications.
Corso di laurea triennale/magistrale, Master degree in Physics
Sono disponibili alcuni titoli di tesi sperimentali
di struttura della materia basati sull'utilizzo delle tecniche di
assorbimento e diffrazione di raggi X, e di tecniche avanzate per
lo studio delle proprietà elettroniche, strutturali e vibrazionali della
materia (microscopia elettronica, diffusione Raman, tecniche ottiche
ultraveloci).
Il lavoro di tesi consiste
nell'acquisizione delle nozioni di base di una o entrambe le
tecniche sperimentali, nell'applicazione di queste ad un
materiale d'interesse fondamentale o tecnologico e nella
successiva analisi dei dati. Tematiche attuali di particolare interesse
sono le misure di sistemi disordinati in condizioni estreme (alte
pressioni, temperature), lo studio di (nano) materiali funzionali innovativi,
e lo sviluppo di metodi avanzati di analisi dei dati con tecniche di Monte
Carlo e scattering multiplo.
Nel corso della tesi si prevede lo sviluppo di tecniche sperimentali,
teorico-metodologiche o numeriche originali. Il lavoro verra' svolto in sede per
quanto riguarda la preparazione degli esperimenti e l'analisi dei
dati. L'esecuzione delle misure e la caratterizzazione dei
campioni verranno eseguite presso i laboratori XAS di Unicam con la strumentazione
disponibile
e presso le linee di radiazione di sincrotrone disponibili
in installazioni europee (Elettra, Trieste; Soleil, Paris;
ESRF, Grenoble).
La durata prevista della tesi di laurea magistrale è di 10-12
mesi. Sono richiesti spirito d'iniziativa e una buona
preparazione di base.
Per la preparazione della laurea triennale (2-3 mesi) viene richiesto di
comprendere ed approfondire un'argomento o un esperimento di cui
siano disponibili pubblicazioni scientifiche.
Il relatore e' a disposizione per qualsiasi chiarimento.
Master thesis in experimental condensed matter physics are available.
They mainly concern the application of x-ray absorption, x-ray diffraction
and related material-science techniques (Electron Microscopy, Raman scattering, optical ultrafast spectroscopy).
The thesis work consists in acquiring the necessary knowledge of one or more
experimental techniques, applying these techniques to a material of interest and in the
subsequent data analysis. Current topics of particular interest
are experiments on disordered systems under extreme conditions (high
pressures, temperatures), study of innovative functional nano-materials, and developments
of advanced data-analysis methods based on Monte Carlo and multiple-scattering calculations.
Development of experimental techniques, theoretical or methodological techniques will be
carried out within the thesis work. Preparation and data-analysis of the experiments will
be mainly carried out in our home laboratory, while some experiments could be carried out
at international large-scale facilities (Synchrotrons like Elettra, Trieste; Soleil, Paris;
ESRF, Grenoble).
The expected duration of the master's degree thesis is 10-12 months. Personal initiative and a good preparation on physics fundamentals are required.
Further clarifications may be asked to the scientific responsible.

"Stages" presso il laboratorio XAS e laboratori collegati
Fin dal 2002 e' possibile frequentare il laboratorio XAS per effettuare
degli "stages" utilizzabili per il conseguimento di lauree
triennali e magistrali. Gli argomenti possono spaziare dal
trattamento di dati e immagini all'interfacciamento tra calcolatori
e strumentazione, includendo la preparazione e l'esecuzione di
esperimenti collegati all'attivita' del laboratorio
(diffrazione di raggi X, assorbimento e fluorescenza X, alte
pressioni/temperature).
Per la disponibilita' di titoli particolari
e ogni ulteriore informazione contattare il responsabile.

Studenti/visitatori presso i laboratori (progetti ERASMUS, ERASMUS+ e successivi)
Corsi e attivita' di laboratorio relativi al gruppo XAS sono
frequentabili da studenti di altre Universita'/istituzioni nell'ambito di
accordi internzazionali.
Nell'ambito del progetto ERASMUS hanno frequentato e superato
gli esami di profitto il corso di "Laboratorio di Fisica della Materia"
gli studenti G. Bergmanski, R. Leszek e Michal Bialoskorski,
provenienti dal Politecnico di Gdansk (1999).
La Dr. A. Witkowska ha effettuato numerosi "stages" presso il nostro
laboratorio per impadronirsi delle tecniche di assorbimento di raggi X
nell'ambito della compilazione della tesi di dottorato (1999-2001).
Il Dr. J. Bosko ha effettuato uno "stage" di qualche mese presso
il nostro laboratorio per effettuare simulazioni di dinamica molecolare
ed apprendere le tecniche di misura con spettroscopia X (2001).
Dal 2001 in poi numerosi studenti provenienti prevalentemente dall'Italia,
Francia, Polonia e Giappone hanno frequentato i laboratori.
Nel corso del 2002 hanno frequentato i laboratori 3 studenti provenienti
dal politecnico di Gdansk e una studentessa di dottorato (Clara Fillaux)
proveniente dall'Universita' di Paris VI.
Dal 2003 in poi diversi studenti e ricercatori hanno frequentato il nostro laboratorio
per stages di istruzione, proveniente maggiormente dal Politecnico di Gdansk e
dall'Universita' UPMC di Parigi (Pierre et Marie Curie).
Un ricercatore del CNRS (Yvonne Soldo) di Grenoble ha avuto il comando per un anno
(2009) nel nostro laboratorio per approfondire le conoscenze nel campo dell'assorbimento di raggi X.
