Microscopy Conference 2023

Adaptive probe correction with electrostatic phase plate

IM 1: Progress in instrumentation and ultrafast EM

This symposium is hosted by the DGE Young Microscopists working group (yDGE) and will cover topics especially interesting for young researchers. For this, we invited experts who will give insights on publication writing and career planning.
In addition, we want to offer students the opportunity to give a short talk on their work in front of their young colleagues, to gain presentation experience in a casual atmosphere and enhance the scientific exchange.
The newly founded working group DGE Young Microscopists will briefly introduce their activities and possibilities to join.
Our goal is a lively, relaxed exchange between students and early-career postdocs to connect to like-minded colleagues. For this, the symposium will be followed by a social event nearby the conference's venue.

The session is focused on generating insights into the function of materials for energy storage, energy conversion and catalysis. Topics can be – but are not restricted to - charge transport, dynamics at interfaces (electrolyte/electrode or gas-phase/catalyst surface), cycling behavior and aging/deactivation. We are very interested in contributions that attempt to capture the relevant functional state of energy materials and catalysts, i.e., studies that reach beyond imaging of isolated systems in vacuum or investigations that employ an embedded multi-scale (in space and time) approach that allows to link between atomistic and collective dynamics. We also call for contributions regarding efficient detection of various generated signals, correlative application of analytical methods, as well as utilizing and developing quantitative data-analysis and machine learning. Studies on the impact of the electron beam for (in-situ) investigation of materials for energy-related or catalysis applications are also highly welcome.
