G-Mode KPFM: Bringing Kelvin probe force microscopy into the information age
Fundamental mechanisms of energy storage, corrosion, sensing, and multiple biological functionalities are directly coupled to electrical processes and ionic dynamics at both the solid-gas and solid-liquid interfaces. In many cases, these processes are spatially inhomogeneous [...]
Learning the Physics and Chemistry of Surfaces via Machine Vision and Deep Data Analysis
The last decade has witnessed an enormous increase in the size and quality of datasets produced by microscopic and spectroscopic experimental techniques. Particularly, the recent advances in scanning transmission electron and scanning probe microscopies have [...]
In situ TEM/STEM of the Coarsening of Nanoporous Gold
Nanoporous gold (NPG) is usually fabricated by the selective electrolytic dissolution (dealloying) of Ag from a binary Ag-Au alloy, or sometimes from a ternary alloy such as Ag- Au-Pt. The resulting ligament-pore structure is bicontinuous [...]
SEM Characterization of Adipose Tissue Structure
Brimiene V., Skaudzius R., Misevicius M., Brimas E., Brimas G., Brimas E., Brimas G., Kareiva A., Vilnius University, LT
In this work the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used for the characterization of adipose tissue samples taken from volunteer obese patients. The adipose tissue was taken from 3 layers of adipose tissue (subcutaneous, preperitoneal [...]
Quantitative Analysis of Oxidation State in Cerium Oxide Nanomaterials
Sims C.M., Maier R.A., Johnston-Peck A.C., Gorham J.M., Hackley V.A., Nelson B.C., National Institute of Standards and Technology, US
Of the many engineered nanomaterials being incorporated into our society, cerium oxide (ceria, CeO2-x) based nanomaterials (NMs) are receiving increased attention due to their unique chemical properties and vast number of current and potential applications [...]
Comparative HRTEM Examination of Carbon Black and Soot Structures
Soot is a major source of airborne particulate and typically contains primary particles which are less than one micrometer in diameter. Soot particles form as an undesired combustion by-product originating from a variety of different [...]
FibriPy: a software environment for fiber analysis from 3D micro-computed tomography data
Materials characterization using X-ray imaging has enabled development of advanced composites that will open up new opportunities to improve manufacturing. In order to deploy reinforced materials, such as ceramic matrix composites (CMC), several structures must [...]
Probing Nanoscale Composites, Interfaces, and Damage Gradients with In-Situ and Ex-Situ Multiscale Mechanical Methodologies
This presentation reports on recent findings within the Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies that determine the effects of interfacial structures and damage gradients on mechanical response at length scales varying from nanometers to millimeters. Three focus [...]
Towards Medical Diagnostics Using Hyperspectral X-ray Scatter
This pilot study builds from a recent international, programme that showed, for the first time, the clinical value of new biomarkers to predict fracture risk in osteoporotic patients. The research indicated several potential, high impact [...]
Advanced Characterization of Nanoporous Gold
The interest in nanoporous metals, formed by controlled dealloying of noble metal alloys, has been increasing due to the promising capabilities of such materials. The functionality of NPG is heavily affected by attributes such as [...]
