Encapsulation by interaction of positively charged chitosan polymer and anionic sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) surfactant (Id 369)
Master theses / Diploma theses / Student Assistant / Compulsory internship
Here we study the interactions of oppositely charged polymer and surfactant pairs. A solution of cationic polymer of Chitosan is placed in direct contact with a SDS surfactant solution. Thereby, a membrane spontaneously forms between the two solutions due to the precipitation of polymer-surfactant complexes. The membrane then progresses in the direction of polymer solution. We can also use the membrane formation to make capsules simply by dripping the polymer solution in the surfactant solution (see figure).
Here, we use profile analysis tensiometry to measure the interactions between chitosan and SDS. In addition, a pressure sensor is used to measure the dynamic pressure changes through the membrane.
We aim to investigate:
- The surface tension behaviour of the chitosan-SDS complex using profile analysis tensiometry (PAT) technique
- Osmotic pressure variations through the membrane upon capsule formation using a pressure sensor
- Membrane progress in Hele-Shaw setup

Experimental investigation of two phase (Liquid-Gas) flow regime within a porous frit bubble generator, and its influence on bubble size and gas fraction distribution in the downcomer. (Id 367)
Bachelor theses / Master theses / Diploma theses / Compulsory internship
Understanding of bubble generation mechanism and evaluation of bubble size is critical for any process (e.g. reaction in a bubble column, mineral flotation process etc.). The size of the bubbles and its flow regime in the column/reactor determines the hydrodynamics which influences the reaction kinetics or recovery of the minerals in a flotation cell. There are different methods to generate microbubbles, one of them using a porous frit (commonly used in the industries due to simple design and its robustness). Two-phase flow regimes (slug, plug, annular, bubbly etc.) are well investigated in vertical and horizontal tube/pipe configuration. This study is focused on a porous frit bubble generator with an aim to understand the regimes within the frit and its influence on the rest of the system.
Research question:
Different flow regimes are observed in the frit at varying process conditions and the regimes influences the bubble size and the gas phase distribution in the downcomer.
Primary objectives of this study are:
1. Identifying the flow regime of the bubbles within the frit at varying process condition using the shadowgraphy technique,
2. Quantification of bubble size using a process microscope as it moves down the downcomer (vertical tube downstream of the frit) and,
3. Determine the gas fraction distribution using a wire mesh sensor.

The scope of your job
The Department of Matter under Extreme Conditions at CASUS is working on the generation of accurate machine learning interatomic potentials (ML-IAPs), which can be used to determine the physical properties of matter under extreme conditions. For this purpose, training data are generated with DFT codes such as VASP or Abinit and used to create ML-IAPs by applying appropriate Hamiltonian models.
This is a multi-stage process that so far requires a lot of manual work. In this work, robust workflows and test routines will be designed both to generate ML-IAPs using AiiDA and to verify the generated ML-IAPs with respect to the accuracy of the calculated physical properties, primarily to increase the robustness and reproducibility of the process. Prior knowledge of materials science simulations is not required!

Numerical simulation of particles in rising gas bubbles (Id 356)
Student practical training
The separation of aerosol particles by a moving gas-liquid fluidic interface is central to a wide variety of industrial and natural applications, among which stand out air purification systems and precipitation scavenging. The particle size significantly affects the separation rate. The diffusion of particles in the nanometer range is largely dominated by molecular diffusion. In this regime, predictive models accurately estimate the separation rates. Model inaccuracy increases, however, significantly when the particle size ranges from 0.1 μm to 2.5 μm. In this impaction-dominated regime, the complex interplay between the flow dynamics on both sides of the fluidic interface and the particle inertia makes it difficult to develop suitable models.
In this work, the student will numerically investigate whether enforcing bubble deformation into a non-spherical shape leads to a higher deposition rate, hereby making the particle separation process more efficient. The results will lead to the development of an improved and reliable separation model accounting for the deformation of the fluidic interface and the associated flow changes.

Self-organized nanopattern formation on crystalline SiGe surfaces (Id 342)
Master theses / Diploma theses
Various metals, semiconductors, and oxides form regular nanoscale surface patterns in a complex process of self-assembly under low energy ion irradiation. While the elemental semiconductors Si and Ge have been extensively studied in this respect, there is no such investigation for alloys of Si and Ge. We want to explore which nanoscale pattern morphologies can emerge on SiGe surfaces and how they can be modified via the conditions of ion irradiation. We expect to obtain new insights into the complex process of ion-induced nanopattern formation in technologically relevant materials.
This work comprises the preparation of nanopatterned surfaces by low energy ion irradiation, imaging these surfaces surfaces by atomic force microscopy and electron microscopy, the quantitative analysis of these data, as well as simulating the patterning process based on continuum equations or kinetic MonteCarlo models.
The project provides an introduction to research at a large scale facility (Ion Beam Center IBC) and opportunities for networking with HZDR specialists (f/m/d) on nanoscale surface modification and characterization.

Self-organized nanopattern formation on crystalline surfaces of III-V semiconductors (Id 341)
Master theses / Diploma theses
Various metals, semiconductors, and oxides form regular nanoscale surface patterns in a complex process of self-assembly under low energy ion irradiation. Depending on the experimental conditions nanopatterns of very different morphologies will form. They can be categorized into either the erosive or diffusive regime – depending on the dominant mass transport processes on the surface. For compound semiconductors the erosive regime has rarely been investigated so far. We want to find out under which conditions the expected nanopattern formation in the diffusive regime takes place. We expect to obtain new insights into the complex process of ion-induced nanopattern formation in technologically relevant materials.
This work comprises the preparation of nanopatterned surfaces by low energy ion irradiation, imaging these surfaces surfaces by atomic force microscopy and electron microscopy, the quantitative analysis of these data, as well as simulating the patterning process based on continuum equations or kinetic MonteCarlo models.

Self-organized nanopattern formation on crystalline GaAs and InAs surfaces (Id 340)
Master theses / Diploma theses
Various metals, semiconductors, and oxides form regular nanoscale surface patterns in a complex process of self-assembly under low energy ion irradiation. Studies of the elemental semiconductors Si and Ge have shown that the symmetry of their crystalline surface strongly influences the morphology of those nanopatterns. However, only one particular surface orientation has been studied analogously for the compound semiconductors GaAs and InAs. While for these materials, the nanopattern morphology is mainly attributed to their compound character, a significant additional influence of the surface crystal structure is expected. We want to demonstrate this by investigation the ion-induced pattern formation on crystalline GaAs and InAs with various surface orientations. The resulting surface patterns may find application in the bottom-up fabrication of complex nanostructured systems.
This work comprises the preparation of nanopatterned surfaces by low energy ion irradiation, imaging these surfaces by atomic force microscopy and scanning tunnelling microscopy, the quantitative analysis of these data, as well as simulations of the patterning process based on continuum equations or kinetic MonteCarlo models.

Optical properties of Ag nanocube ensembles (Id 339)
Master theses / Diploma theses
Ensembles of nanoscale metallic objects such as Ag nanocubes exhibit particular optical properties, which can be influenced by size, shape and spatial arrangement of these objects. Ion beam based techniques enable the preparation of nanopatterned surfaces, on which Ag nanocubes can be arranged in a regular fashion, as well as the modification of the nanocube shape by ion erosion. Thus the effects of changes in arrangement and shape on the optical properties of the ensemble can be studied.
This work comprises the preparation of nanopatterned surfaces by low energy ion irradiation, the arrangement of Ag nanocubes on such surfaces and their deformation by ion beam erosion, the imaging of theses sample systems by atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy, the measurement of optical properties by cathodoluminescence and ellipsometry, and the quantitative analysis of the obtained data.

Motion tracking of autonomous sensor particles in industrial vessels (Id 335)
Master theses / Diploma theses / Compulsory internship
Data acquisition in large industrial vessels such as biogas fermenters or wastewater treatment plants is limited to local measurement points due to limited access to the vessel and the non-transparency of the fluid. To optimize these kinds of plants, the three-dimensional flow field and the spatial distribution of fluid properties such as temperature and electrical conductivity inside the vessel must be known. This can be achieved by the autonomous flow-following sensor particles developed by the HZDR. Equipped with a pressure sensor, an accelerometer, two gyroscopes and a magnetometer, the sensor particle can track the movement inside the vessels and derive the flow field from that. Additionally, the sensor particle gets position information by an ultra-wide-band based localization module (like GPS) as soon as it is on the fluid surface. The motion of the sensor particle is currently tracked with an error-state Kalman filter and yields a reliable tracking of the velocity and position, respectively. However, the tracking time is limited by the propagation of uncertainties of the inertial sensors through the filter. The objective of this master thesis is to extend this tracking time by the use of more advanced tracking algorithms like particle filter or other types of Kalman filters. This includes the following tasks:
- Literature review of advanced filters for motion tracking
- Theoretical comparison and implementing the most promising algorithm in Python
- Verification and performance analysis based on experimental data

Experimental investigation of influence of interfacial viscoelasticity on the dripping to jetting transition (Id 333)
School practical training / Student practical training / Bachelor theses / Master theses / Compulsory internship
Liquid jets are unstable and eventually form droplets to minimize the surface energy with the surrounding fluid. The transition from dripping to jetting and dynamics of the droplet pinch-off have been studied extensively for various systems, from pure Newtonian fluids to complex non-Newtonian liquids. The jetting process has received significant attention as it is a critical step in various three-dimensional (3D) printing techniques such as dropwise additive manufacturing and the direct ink writing method. In most of the applications surface active materials such as surfactants, nanoparticles, and polymers exist in the systems. The presence of surface-active materials reduces the liquid-fluid surface energies and in some cases generates a viscoelastic layer at the interface.
In this research, we aim to study the influence of interfacial viscoelasticity on the dripping to jetting transition. The study is conducted by the injection of an aqueous phase (nanoparticle dispersions) into an oil phase that contains surfactants over a wide range of flow rates. We tune the magnitude of interfacial viscoelasticity by changing the concentration of surfactants and nanoparticles.
Research question:
Does the dripping to jetting transition (critical flow rate) linearly increase by increasing the interfacial viscoelasticity?
Experiments:
1. Measurements of interfacial tension and surface elasticity for a range of particle and surfactant concentration using Profile analysis tensiometry, and Langmuir trough.
2. Dripping to jetting experiments for the selected systems using high-speed cameras and in-house setups.
