About the role

Role Title: Physics Expert (Condensed Matter / Magnetic Materials) Role Type: Contractor Location: Remote micro1 is engaging Physics Experts (Condensed Matter / Magnetic Materials) to contribute to a leading-edge research opportunity focused on magnetic space groups, neutron scattering, BNS notation, and the physical signatures of magnetic order. In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters. Scope of Work • Analyze and interpret magnetic structure factors, utilizing propagation-vector methodologies and advanced symmetry concepts in condensed matter physics. • Identify and classify magnetic phases (AFM, FM, and related types) using both theoretical and experimental data, including neutron diffraction results. • Curate and validate magnetic space group assignments with reference to established datasets such as MAGNDATA, ensuring robust correlation with BNS notation conventions. • Evaluate birefringence and magneto-optic Kerr effect (MOKE) signatures for selected materials, connecting optical phenomena to underlying magnetic structure. Preferred Qualifications • Advanced academic background (PhD or equivalent research experience) in condensed matter physics, with a specialization in magnetism or related fields. • Demonstrated proficiency in magnetic structure factor calculations, propagation-vector analysis, and symmetry-based phase identification. • Direct experience classifying magnetic space groups, with hands-on familiarity with MAGNDATA and BNS notation. • Strong knowledge of neutron scattering techniques for magnetic structure determination. • Ability to connect experimental signatures (e.g., birefringence, MOKE) to underlying physical mechanisms.
