Masterclass: In-Situ Transmission Electron Microscopy

14 - 15 Jun 2023 9:00am - 12:30pm AEST Online

This Microscopy Australia Masterclass will present lectures by experimentalists covering recent progress of in-situ TEM imaging and spectroscopy, on materials properties and dynamics under different stimuli such as heat, gas environment and electrical probing.

Practical aspects including specimen preparation, experimental strategies and data processing will also be areas of focus.

The masterclass will take place over two days, with two morning lecture sessions that are open to all from 09:30-12:00 AEST on the 14th and 09:00-12:30 AEST on the 15th of June. The hands-on afternoon portion of the workshop is by invite only.

Day 1

  • Richard Tilley (University of New South Wales) “Why do we perform in-situ experiments?”
  • Ingemar Persson (Linköping University, Sweden) “Liquid and gas cells for 2D nanomaterials”
  • John Watt (Los Alamos National Lab. USA) “Inorganic nanomaterials transformation in an ETEM”

Day 2

  • Chao Zhang (Queensland University of Technology) “In-situ optical and electrical measurements of 1D and 2D nanomaterials”
  • Naoyuki Kawamoto (National Institute for Materials Science, Japan) “Nanoscale thermal transport measurements in a TEM”
  • Liam Spillane (Gatan Inc. USA) “In-situ spectroscopy analysis of inorganic nanomaterials”
  • John Watt (Los Alamos National Lab. USA) “Preparation of beam sensitive samples using cryo-FIB for in situ TEM”
