Electrostatic potential of latex sphere using off-axis electron holography
Zoom webinar | Replay on Youtube Yan Lu , FZJ, Germany Electrostatic potential, including both that contributed by electron-beam-induced specimen charging and intrinsic material-related mean inner potential (MIP), is crucial because it is influence the reaction between charged particles, chemical reactivity, and dielectric properties. Off-axis electron holography is a powerful TEM technique that can be […]
X-ray Diffraction at the service of circular economy: the advantages of synchrotron radiation
Zoom webinar | Replay on Youtube Marta Mirolo, ESRF, France X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a well-known technique to investigate the atomic structure of crystalline materials. Compared to laboratory instruments, X-rays generated in a synchrotron have the advantages of higher energy and higher photon flux, allowing for fast measurement of thick or complex systems, in situ […]
3D elemental mapping with nanometer-scale resolution using atom probe tomography (APT)
Zoom webinar | Replay on Youtube Masoud Dialameh, IMEC, Belgium Atom probe tomography (APT) is a powerful microscopy technique that uniquely combines three-dimensional mapping of atomic distributions with the elemental identification for both light and heavy elements, achieving sub-nanometer spatial resolution . This capability enables a variety of analysis modes for materials characterization, including voxel-based […]
