The PhD project will investigate the transport of amorphous silica by rivers to the world?s oceans. Amorphous silica (ASi) mostly originates from biological uptake by plants. Plants take up dissolved silicate and deposit it as an amorphous form of silica called phytoliths. Phytoliths and ASi formed in soils enters aquatic ecosystems through litterfall and erosion. [...]

Job Description:An unsolved key question in condensed matter physics concerns the understanding of why and how materials go from fluid to disorded dynamically arrested states, so called glasses? Any liquid that is cooled fast enough to avoid the ordered crystalline state will form a glass which has a molecular structure almost identical to that of [...]
