Direct oxygen imaging within a ceramic interface, with some observations upon the dark contrast at the grain boundary
Annular bright field scanning transmission electron microscopy is shown to allow directly interpretable imaging of the oxygen columns within pyramidal twin grain boundaries in alpha-Al2O3.
Electrochemical Strain Microscopy of Li-ion Conductive Materials for Energy Generation & Storage
Electrochemical strain microscopy (ESM) is a novel scanning probe microscopy (SPM) technique available exclusively for the Cypher™ and MFP-3D™ atomic force microscopes (AFMs) from Asylum Research that is capable of probing electrochemical reactivity and ionic flows in solids with unprecedented resolution. Only with understanding of electrochemical functionality on the level of individual nanoparticles or structural defects can practical, knowledge-driven energy storage research and development proceed.
