X-Ray Bragg Projection Ptychography: Imaging of Strain at the Nanoscale

The theoretical and experimental framework of a new coherent diffraction strain imaging approach was developed in the Center for Nanoscale Materials' X-Ray Microscopy Group in collaboration with Argonne's Materials Science Division, together with users from IBM. moreSep. 27, 2012

In Situ and Analytical Transmission Electron Microscopy

In situ and analytical transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has been used to investigate the mechanism of material transport during Al-induced layer exchange (ALILE) and crystallization of amorphous Si (a-Si). moreApr. 17, 2012

FIB-SEM with Laser Option

Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) has become a valuable tool for two- and three-dimensional characterization of micro- and nano-scale samples. A wide range of industry applications stand to benefit from this technology, e.g., materials research, development of pharmaceutical products, and process development in semiconductor or photovoltaic manufacturing. What they have in common: a specific region of a specimen has to be analyzed. moreApr. 16, 2012

Electron Microscopy Inspires Flexoelectric Theory in Material Sciences

Electron microscopy, conducted as part of the Shared Research Equipment (ShaRE) User Program at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, has led to a new theory to explain intriguing properties in a material with potential applications in capacitors and actuators. moreDec. 08, 2011

Temperature Gradient Influences the Crystallization Processes in Opto-Electronic Thin Films

The Laboratory of Polymer Chemistry at the Université Libre de Bruxelles is focused on research into "small molecules", namely, liquid crystalline semiconductors for organic electronics application.  Various organic semiconductors have been receiving a great deal of attention in "plastic" electronic devices such as organic photovoltaic cells, light-emitting diodes (OLED) and field effect transistors (OFET). moreApr. 01, 2007
