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 ...

Local electrostatic field at sharp field emission tips is key to answer fundamental questions of how the field interacts with these tips. Despite a long history of study, three-dimensional (3D) electrostatic fields at nanometer resolution around sharp tips have not been experimentally quantified. Si...

Self-assembly processes play an important role in nature and often result in complex structures, e.g. in chlorophyll or in living organisms. Compact clusters of elemental particles can be shown to be of practical relevance, and are found in atomic nuclei, nanoparticles or viruses.   Self-as...

In „Die Geschichte des Mikroskops - Als die Welt vergrößert wurde...“ Bayern 2 radio programme „radioWissen“ features the development of microscopy from the 16th century to modern applications in materials science and medicine. The story was broadcast on November 22. Prof. Erdmann Spiecker, h...

On 10.Oct and 13. Nov. 2018, IMN & CENEM has opened it's door welcoming Chinese delegation, as a part of their 30-days training program in Germany. The visiting and training programs were supported by MIIT (Ministry of Industry and Information Technology) and SAFEA (State Administration of Forei...
