The article “Unraveling Structural Details in Ga-Pd SCALMS Systems Using Correlative Nano-CT, 360° Electron Tomography and Analytical TEM” by Janis Wirth, Silvan Englisch, Dominik Drobek, Benjamin Apeleo Zubiri, Mingjian Wu, Nicola Taccardi, Narayanan Raman, Peter Wasserscheid and Erdmann Spiecker h...

CENEM and GRK members of IMN contributed by investigating the morphology and the agglomeration of SPIONs and nano plastic particles by employing scale-briding electron and X-ray microscopy and tomography techniques. The corresponding paper is now published in Materials Today, further details and bac...

A new Tenure Track Professorhip Computational Materials Microscopy (W2 / Associate Professor) is available at the Center for Nanoanalysis and Electron Microscopy that is embedded at the Institute of Micro- and Nanostructure Research. The research focus of this professorship should be on computationa...

Structure-property relationships are key for an in-depth understanding and development of modern materials utilized to solve grand challenges in today's society like sustainable energy conversion and catalysis. The Center for Nanoanalysis and Electron Microscopy (CENEM) and the Institute of Micro- a...

The article “Correlative laboratory Nano-CT and 360° electron tomography of macropore structures in hierarchical zeolites” by Benjamin Apeleo Zubiri, Janis Wirth, Dominik Drobek, Silvan Englisch, Thomas Przybilla, Tobias Weissenberger, Wilhelm Schwieger, and Erdmann Spiecker has recently been publis...

We proudly welcome a new high-end TEM instrument to the IMN and CENEM. The new Thermo Fisher Scientific (TFS) Spectra 200 has been installed from September until December 2020, and, since January 2021, it started its operation in the CENEM labs located at the building of Interdisciplinary Center for...

The paper on “Microscopic Deformation Modes and Impact of Network Anisotropy on the Mechanical and Electrical Performance of Five-fold Twinned Silver Nanowire Electrodes” by Nadine Schrenker and colleagues has been recently published in ACS Nano. Congratulations! Silver nanowire (AgNW) network...

Dr.-Ing. Peter Schweizer, who completed his PhD at IMN with distinction in 2019, has recently received a prestigious STAEDLER award together with 10 other candidates from FAU. Since 1999, the STAEDTLER Foundation has honored young scientists from the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnb...

Ni-based superalloys exhibit outstanding high-temperature mechanical properties, which makes them uniquely suitable for modern jet engines and power plants. Their superb high-temperature performance (e.g., creep strength, oxidation resistance) are to large parts governed by the elementary processes ...

Two research papers from the high-temperature group have been published recently in the Proceedings of Superalloys 2020. The principal goal of the symposium is to highlight new initiatives and future growth opportunities for superalloys that are used in gas turbine engines and related applications. ...
