Internship Nanoprotonics

In this project, you will study the dynamics of protons in water, confined in nanometer-sized structures.

Research / Job description
In this project, you will study the dynamics of protons in water, confined in nanometer-sized structures. Transport of protons through water takes place via an extraordinary physical mechanism that is highly efficient. The aim of this project is to study how this physical mechanism is altered in low-dimensional systems, such as reverse micelles and carbon nanotubes. To this end, you will use state of the art optical techniques, such as Terahertz time domain spectroscopy and femtosecond mid-infrared vibrational spectroscopy.
