IMN/CENEM researchers recently published their study on the “Influence of substrate polarity on thermal stability, grain growth and atomic interface structure of Au thin films on ZnO surfaces” in Acta Materialia (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.actamat.2024.120531). The work was carried out in close colla...

IMN/CENEM is proud to announce the publication of a collaborative study entitled "Microscopic mechanism of the L1₂–D0₁₉ phase transformation in a Co-base single crystal superalloy" in Acta Materialia! This study offers novel insights into the atomic-level processes governing an often-observed phase ...

IMN/CENEM is delighted to announce that a new high-resolution SEM/STEM instrument is enhancing the electron microscopy facility and expanding CENEM’s research capabilities. The microscope, a GEMINI SEM 560 from Carl Zeiss Microscopy, was funded within the framework of a DFG proposal for major res...

Two members of the Tomo-Group, Alexander Götz and Dr. Benjamin Apeleo Zubiri, represented the Institute of Micro and Nanostructure Research (IMN)/CENEM at the 16th International Conference on X-Ray Microscopy (XRM 2024), which took place in Lund, Sweden, from August 12-16, 2024. The conference broug...

The classical way to study defects in crystalline materials is transmission electron microscopy (TEM). But do we always need this expensive and sophisticated instrument? IMN/CENEM scientists have now demonstrated that the much more widespread and affordable scanning electron microscope (SEM) can be ...
