Microscopy Conference 2023

Synthesis and characterization of metal sulfide nanoribbons on graphene by self-assembly of inorganic ions

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.

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.

Tuning interface sharpness and interface superconductivity at La2CuO4 heterostructures

This session focusses on functional thin films and advanced structured materials targeted for applications in a wide range of energy and information technologies, including intriguing physical effects at interfaces of epitaxial complex oxide systems, electron and ion conductors, photovoltaics, thermo-electrics, dielectrics, and resistive switching. The optimization of these devices, from materials’ design to applications, requires a thorough knowledge of the structural, physical, and chemical properties, its interactions with the environment and the role of interfacial effects, for which recent technical innovations in electron microscopy hardware and software have provided a fertile ground for their analysis with unprecedented spatial and spectral resolution. We welcome contributions to latest developments at the forefront of scientific achievements and impact in the design, synthesis, characterization, and applications of functional thin films.
