Electron Correlation Microscopy for Studying Fluctuating Systems In Situ

In situ electron microscopy methods.

Studying the kinetics of crystalline silicon nanoparticle lithiation with in situ transmission electron microscopy.

In situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is used to study the electrochemical lithiation of high-capacity crystalline Si nanoparticles for use in Li-ion battery anodes. The lithiation reaction slows down as it progresses into the particle interior, and analysis suggests that this behavior is due not to diffusion limitation but instead to the influence of mechanical stress on the driving f...

In Situ Heating Transmission Electron Microscopy

93 Abstract Temperature is one of the most important factors affecting the state and behavior of materials. In situ heating transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is a powerful tool for understanding such temperature effects, and recently in situ heating TEM has made significant progress in terms of temperature available and resolution attained. This article briefly describes newly developed sp...

Development of a Nanoindenter for In Situ Transmission Electron Microscopy.

In situ transmission electron microscopy is an established experimental technique that permits direct observation of the dynamics and mechanisms of dislocation motion and deformation behavior. In this article, we detail the development of a novel specimen goniometer that allows real-time observations of the mechanical response of materials to indentation loads. The technology of the scanning tu...

Advances in atomic resolution in situ environmental transmission electron microscopy and 1A aberration corrected in situ electron microscopy.

Advances in atomic resolution in situ environmental transmission electron microscopy for direct probing of gas-solid reactions, including at very high temperatures (approximately 2000 degrees C) are described. In addition, recent developments of dynamic real time in situ studies at the Angstrom level using a hot stage in an aberration corrected environment are presented. In situ data from Pt/Pd...
