Welcome to the Center for Nanoanalysis and Electron Microscopy (CENEM)
The Center for Nanoanalysis and Electron Microscopy (CENEM) is a facility featuring cutting-edge instrumentation, techniques and expertise required for microscopic and analytical characterization of materials and devices down to the atomic scale. CENEM focuses on several complementary analysis techniques, which closely work together: Electron Microscopy, X-ray Microscopy, Cryo-TEM, Scattering Methods, Scanning Probes and Atom Probe Microscopy.
Metallic nanosponges are well known to exhibit distinct mechanical properties that are considered to originate from the interwoven mechanics of the nanoscale ligaments as individual units and as a network. A comprehensive understanding of the physical mechanisms behind these properties spanning over...
Silver nanowire (AgNW) networks are among the most promising candidates to replace brittle indium tin oxide as transparent conductive electrodes in flexible devices such as solar cells, light-emitting diodes, and sensors. In a recent study published in ACS Nano, researchers from the Institute of Mic...
Researchers at the Institute of Micro and Nanostructure Research (IMN) and the Center for Nanoanalysis and Electron Microscopy (CENEM), Chair of Experimental Physics, Institute for Crystallography and Structural Physics (ICSP) at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg, have unveiled an unexpected coexistence of 2H a...
In a recent collaborative study, researchers from the Institute of Micro- and Nanostructure Research (IMN) /CENEM and their partners have developed and implemented a comprehensive correlative tomography workflow to investigate complex, hierarchical particulate materials. The study combines 360° elec...
A research team from the Department of Materials Science at FAU and CENEM has made a significant step forward in understanding how platinum single atoms (Pt SAs) behave under thermal conditions on titanium dioxide (TiO₂) surfaces—crucial knowledge for advancing photocatalytic hydrogen generation.
