The underlying physics of these phenomena is not fully understood. Complex phase diagrams are governed by interplay between, e.g., charge, spin, strain, and doping, resulting in very different properties of oxides with similar crystal structure. The project addresses problems in fabricating functional, complex oxide structures and will develop basic understanding of their properties at an [...]
British Marshall Scholarships jointly funded by Royal Holloway and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. Duration-2 years, but may be extended for one more year Applications are made in one of eight regions in the United States. Candidates may apply in one region only – either that in which they have their permanent home address or [...]
The scholarships are in memory of Karim Rida Said and since their introduction in 1984 they have enabled more than 400 young people to gain a university education overseas and to contribute to the development of the Middle East region. The Scholarships are to study a master’s degree in the UK. Scholarships range from partial [...]
The University of Twente provides a stimulating academic environment with excellent technical facilities and a strong concentration of microfluidics research within the MESA+ Institute for Nanotechnology as well as the research Institute for Mechanics Process and Control Twente. PhD students can enroll in the J.M. Burgerscenter, the Dutch National School for Fluid Dynamics as well [...]
The Scholarship was established in honour of Professor Annemarie Schimmel to commemorate her great contribution to culture and poetry in Pakistan and her role as a dedicated woman scholar. It offers the opportunity to do post-graduate study in the United Kingdom to a woman who is committed to make a genuine contribution to her chosen [...]

Kingston University has established an international reputation for high quality, innovative research and is now seeking to make a substantial investment in 50 new PhD studentships available for 2011/12. The competition for these prestigious research studentships is now open to students who wish to study for a full-time PhD at Kingston University.
In this project, we want to apply near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM) techniques to study light emission of quantum dots interacting with random cavities in photonic-crystal slab waveguides. In the waveguides, made by a team from the Danish Technical University (DTU), light scatters randomly from structural disorder stopping its propagation by interference. Mapping out the [...]
