Visualizing Nanoscale Dynamics with Time-resolved Electron Microscopy

Chimia (Aarau). 2022 Sep 21;76(9):754. doi: 10.2533/chimia.2022.754.

Abstract

The large number of interactions in nanoscale systems leads to the emergence of complex behavior. Understanding such complexity requires atomic-resolution observations with a time resolution that is high enough to match the characteristic timescale of the system. Our laboratory's method of choice is time-resolved electron microscopy. In particular, we are interested in the development of novel methods and instrumentation for high-speed observations with atomic resolution. Here, we present an overview of the activities in our laboratory.
