Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.
In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.

Magnetic exchange : what are the orbitals bridging the interaction?
Magnetic materials and in the recent years multiferroic materials (coupling spin and electronic degrees of freedom) have been extensively studied. Indeed, their properties are fascinating and the understanding of the microscopic origin (nature of the atoms, geometry) of their magnetic orders or their magneto-electric couplings is a crucial subject of research for material design with specific properties.
The structure/properties relationship is thus a fundamental research subject to which the present internship belongs.
In transition metal oxides, the magnetic effective interactions can be direct, or mediated by ligands, bridging the magnetic atoms. What are the ligand orbitals bridging the magnetic interactions ? How can we define them and compute them ? That is the question we plan to tackle during this internship.
This work will be conducted in the Institute Laue Langevin (ILL) in Grenoble, France. The ILL is the world's leading facility in neutron science & technology and neutrons diffraction one of the best technique for investigating magnetism at the atomic level. This internship will take place between the Theory and Scientific computing groups of ILL.
