Symposium TC4-Advances in Spatial, Energy and Time Resolution in Electron Microscopy

The last few years have seen dramatic advances in electron microscope resolution, spatial resolution through aberration correction, energy resolution through monochromation, and time resolution through pulsed sources. New windows are opening into structure / property relations in thin films and nanosystems, and materials dynamics during phase changes and under operating environments. Increasingly large datasets are being generated through pixelated detectors and focal series and new methods of image analysis are becoming increasingly important. This symposium will survey these new emerging frontiers that modern microscopes are now able to explore.

Topics will include:

  • Applications of meV energy resolution
  • Ultrafast imaging of dynamical processes
  • Imaging electric fields and magnetism at the atomic level
  • Applications of image analytics, statistics and compression
  • Materials dynamics, including clusters, nanoparticles and nanowires
  • High precision measurement of atomic positions for mapping strain, polarization, octahedral tilts
  • In-situ and in-operando imaging of catalyst, battery, and fuel cell materials
  • Nucleation and crystal growth from solutions, melts and vapors
  • Functional imaging: electron beam induced current, cathodoluminescence
