Liquid phase electron microscopy is a powerful technique for investigating processes directly on site with high spatial and temporal resolution. This particular in situ technique was shown to be suitable for application in materials sciences, energy storage and biology. In a recent publication, rese...

Transition metal oxides, such as TiO2, ZnO or MoO2, and transition metal chalcogenides like WS2 or MoS2 represent two classes of functional materials, both hold great promise for applications in nanotechnology, ranging from energy storage to microelectronics. In a recent work "Transforming layered M...

A kick-off meeting between the CENEM microscopy group headed by Prof. Spiecker and OICE (Optical Imaging Center Erlangen) headed by Dr. Palmisano was held in a relaxed atmosphere in late afternoon 28 of May. After an one hour introduction to the respective institutes, around 40 attendees had intense...

5th CENEM Summer School for X-ray Scattering 2019 From the 29th of July to 1st of August 2019the Institute for Crystallography and Structural Physics (ICSP) will host the 5th CENEM Summer School for X-ray Scattering. The school will provide a perfect opportunity to get a detailed insight in...

The DPG symposium, coorganized by CENEM, about "Correlative and in situ Microscopy in Materials Research" was a huge success. All talks were of high quality and often accompanied by lively discussions. The attendance toped around 200 people, never falling below 50. Although the international and ...

After a construction of less than 3 years, the new building of the interdisciplinary center for nanostructured films (IZNF) is handed over to FAU earlier this year. About 1200 m² of the IZNF are now the new home of three CENEM workgroups. Besides office space, the CENEM has now access to additional ...

This year’s school of CENEM's research unit GRK 1896 took place from the 18th to 20th of March in Pommelsbrunn. The school was dedicated for the preparation of the upcoming GRK symposium "Correlative and in situ Microscopy in Materials Research" taking place at the DPG spring meeting (1st to 4th of ...

Christina Harreiss (member of IMN and CENEM) won the best poster awards out of 65 posters, during the workshop "Microscopy Characterization of Organic-Inorganic Interfaces 2019 (MCOII-2019)", with her outstanding presentation of “Crystallinity, Texture and Nanomorphology of Oganic Bulk Heterojuction...

The tension/compression asymmetries of materials, i.e., changing the mechanism loading directions while keeping all other parameters identical, is particularly interesting as it provides insight into the elementary defect mechanisms. In a recent work published in Acta Materialia (click here), CENEM ...

The program of CENEM's research unit GRK 1896 from 2019 started with an excursion to the Thermo Fisher factory in Brno (10th to 11th of January). Thanks to a well-organized factory tour from the Thermo Fisher side, the participants got deep insight into the TEM as well as SEM assembly process at an ...
