High-end structural and compositional characterization is one of the essential requirements for advanced materials development, the experimental basis for a systematic understanding of materials and modelling. Electron microscopy is one of the most versatile and powerful tools to provide this basis by quantitative characterization of the atomic, nanometer and micron scale structure and composition. Especially in-situ experiments enable a direct correlation between structural changes, materials properties and functional behavior.
In addition to using state-of-the-art electron microscopy techniques for materials characterization, we develop and optimize electron microscopy techniques to provide answers to specific research problems in materials and physical sciences.
The In-situ Electron Microscopy Group is part of the Joined Research Laboratory Nano Materials linking materials research and structural/functional characterization at TU Darmstadt and Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). In addition to the facilities at the Electron Microscopy Center Darmstadt, most of our research is performed at the Electron Microscopy & Spectroscopy Laboratory located at KIT in Karlsruhe, which is part of the Karlsruhe Nano Micro Facility (KNMF).
