February 23, 2 pm-5 pm (Talks)

February 24, 10 am-5 pm (Demos using the Hitachi HD-2700 STEM)*
Georgia Institute of Technology | Marcus Nanotech Bldg. | 345 Ferst Drive NW | Atlanta, GA 30332
*Lunch will be provided on Feb 24.

Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) is indispensable for the research and development of materials, nanostructures, and nano-devices because of its capability to measure the physical, chemical, and microstructural information down to atomic-level resolution. In-situ TEM/STEM studies the material of interest immersed in liquid or gas, under thermal, mechanical, or electrical influence at the same time, and simultaneously acquires multiple responses in situ. It is no longer merely a characterization tool for seeing small things, but serving as a platform for solving big scientific problems in the fields of aerospace engineering, biology, chemical engineering, environmental science, materials science, mechanical engineering, physics, and beyond.

This complimentary workshop specifically addresses in-situ heating studies performed in TEM and STEM. Aspects of the development of a heating holder and evaluation will also be discussed.

Registration required. Register online by February 19, 2016.
