Developing a TEM-based Nanolab for Materials Research

Topic: 36
Abstract:
Based on the idea of "setting up a nanolab inside a TEM", we present our recent progress in nanomaterials research including in situ growth, nanofabrication with atomic resolution, in situ property characterization, nanodevice construction and possible applications. The electron beam can be used as a tool to induce nanofabrication on the atomic scale. Additional probes from a special-designed holder provide the possibility to further manipulate and measure the electric/mechanical properties of the nanostructures in the small specimen chamber of a TEM. Recently, the optical signal also was introduced into the electron microscope to enrich the coverage of investigation inside the multifunctional nanolab. All phenomena from the in-situ experiments can be recorded in real time with atomic resolution.
