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.
The Research Training Group CorMic invites applications for doctoral positions in an interdisciplinary program uniting advanced microscopy, materials development, and data-driven science for the next generation of sustainable functional materials and devices. Addressing global challenges in climate,...
We are proud to announce the publication of our paper “Revealing nanoscale plasticity of metallic nanosponges with correlative and scale-bridging 3D microscopy and modelling” in Communications Materials (Nature Portfolio). This study unveils the atomic-scale mechanisms that govern plastic deformatio...
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...
