We offer a wide range of topics related to solid-state research and we are looking forward to welcoming motivated students who would like to write their thesis or do a research practical course (13-121-0217 Functional Materials) with us. We currently offer the following topics, among others:

• High-pressure syntheses of metal hydrides and fluorides
• Coordination number rules in crystal chemistry (theory, no laboratory work)
• Hydride oxide fluorides of rare earths
• Luminescence in metal hydrides
• Hydrogen storage in inorganic-organic hybrid materials
• In-situ studies of mixed-valence lead oxides
• Reduction of transition metal oxides with hydrogen (“green steel” etc.; prior knowledge of X-ray diffraction required)
• Your own great idea for a project in solid-state research

Please send us a request by e-mail to holger.kohlmann@uni-leipzig.de, including at least the following information: Name and matriculation number, desired topic, time frame (desired start, unavailable times), courses taken so far (list with module numbers or e.g. a transcript of records (to be requested from the Office of Study Affairs)

Please also note the information provided by the Office of Study Affairs.

 

And a doctorate after the Master's thesis?

We select candidates for a doctorate according to the following criteria: Academic achievements, ability to cooperate, motivation, knowledge in solid-state chemistry and crystallography. If you are interested in a PhD in our group, please send ONE pdf document to holger.kohlmann@uni-leipzig.de containing a letter of motivation, a CV and an academic transcript. We always offer a wide range of topics in solid state research, currently in particular high pressure synthesis of fluorides and fluoride oxides of transition metals.
