Microscopy Conference 2023

Tunable eccentricity of Bloch skyrmions in Fe1.9Ni0.9Rh0.2P

MS 3: Low-dimensional and quantum materials

This session focuses on the development and application of advanced imaging, diffraction and spectroscopy to provide new insight into the structural, compositional and functional properties of low-dimensional and quantum materials. A specific focus will be placed on methods for imaging individual defects, enhancing the contrast of light atoms, preparing and cleaning ultra-thin samples, developing automated workflows for low dose imaging of beam sensitive materials and linking electron microscopy with complementary characterisation techniques. Other topics of interest include in situ experiments carried out at cryogenic or elevated temperature, as well as in the presence of external stimuli such as applied voltage, field, gases or light.

IM 7: In situ/operando electron microscopy

Nowadays, in situ/operando electron microscopy is a rapidly growing field due to the implementation of nanotechnology towards the fabrication of greatly improved, stable and more flexible sample holders. Furthermore, data collection, analysis and recording of dynamic information is becoming increasingly faster. Recent advances include, for example, the use of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) based chips for in situ transmission electron microscopy. The capability to perform multiple measurements while simultaneously analysing corresponding structural, chemical, or even electronic structure changes in functional and nano- materials at different length scales are opening exciting new opportunities at the forefront of modern materials science research. This symposium intends to review progress on in situ/operando TEM and SEM experiments that apply heating, cooling, electrical biasing, and mechanical testing to induce and probe phase transformations.
