Scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) has emerged as a uniquely powerful
tool for structural and functional imaging of materials on the atomic level. Driven by …

Atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) materials host a rich set of electronic states that differ
substantially from those of their bulk counterparts due to quantum confinement and …

Vibrational spectroscopies using infrared radiation,, Raman scattering, neutrons, low-energy
electrons and inelastic electron tunnelling are powerful techniques that can analyse bonding …

Electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) in the electron microscope has progressed
remarkably in the last five years. Advances in monochromator and spectrometer design …

Reduced activation ferritic martensitic (RAFM) and oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS)
