Ilika's unique combinatorial approach helps customers to speed up their materials discovery and to select candidate materials for scale-up applications. New materials discovery is based on high-throughput thin films physical vapour deposition (PVD) and characterisation. While working at Ilika, I contributed to various applied R&D projects for industrial partners including in automotive, aeronautical and electronic components sectors.Development of various classes of metal alloys and ceramic materials: high entropy alloys, Li-ion battery components, piezoelectric, thermoelectric, dielectric, magnetic materials…TECHNICAL SKILLS :» Thin films synthesis (physical vapour deposition PVD, molecular beam epitaxy MBE, sputtering)» Material characterisation: XRD, SEM, EDX, XPS, LA-ICP-MS, Raman spectroscopy, AFM, nanoindentation, ellipsometry, optical profilometry, electrical and electrochemical measurements
