This thesis proposes to combine theoretical modeling and experimental collaborations to predict and optimize the electronic and photovoltaic properties of Sb\u2082Se\u2083.

Understanding these interactions is crucial for the development of sustainable agriculture and assessing the potential impact on human health. Indeed, the use of nano-fertilizers has been identified as an alternative to conventional fertilizers, since they should optimize nutrient supply, limit losses to the environment and preserve crop production and quality. <\/p>\n Full description and application<\/strong> : <\/strong>PDF download<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> Objective<\/strong>: The objective of this internship is to explore synthetic routes using green chemistry (sol-gel, coprecipitation, or solvothermal methods) to reduce and control the size and morphology of Wadsley-Roth-type complex oxides.
