ELECMI
Excellence Networks in Spain 2015 ELECMI is a National Facility that appeared in the Spain’s scientific panorama as a consequence of the fruitful activity in the field of new and advanced materials together with the need to respond to the demand of techniques to...
Interface Heterostructures
INTERFACE PHENOMENA IN COMPLEX NANO-OXIDES Progress in nanotechnology requires new approaches to materials synthesis that make it possible to induce new functionalities down to the smallest scales. An objective of materials research is to achieve an enhanced control...
Cryo TEM
Cryo-Electron microscopy analysis of soft matter: organic and hybrid nanomaterials Conventional TEM requires high vacuum inside the microscope column, therefore all samples need to be dried out before observation. Cryo-TEM is a good alternative for the direct...
Tomography
In order to reveal the true nature of many specimens we have to study the third dimension of our sample. Most of the TEM techniques provides two-dimensional (2D) projections of a 3D structure. However, the complexity of the new material and the biological structures...
Electron Holography
Electron Holography form quantitative magnetic fields mapping Off-axis Electron Holography (EH) is an interferometric technique that allows the measurement of the phase shift of the electron wave having interacted with static electrostatic and magnetic fields. This...
The Advanced Microscopy Laboratory wins 3.6 million euros for a new TEM infrastructure
The funding will go towards the installation of a Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) with double aberration corrector, which will have technical specifications that will provide it with "great versatility, precision and resolution". This microscope opens the door...
Soft Matter and electron sensitive materials
One of the research lines at the Advanced Microscopy Laboratory relies on the study and development of multiple approaches for the observation of porous solids. Nanoporous materials, commonly zeolites (pore size below 2 nm), mesoporous materials (pore size ranging...
