In-Situ Transmission Electron Microscopy Experiments: Design and Practice - Hardcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Renu Sharma received a B.S. and B.Ed. in Physics and Chemistry from Panjab University, India, and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Solid State Chemistry from the University of Stockholm, Sweden. She is currently a NIST Emeritus Fellow after working there as a project leader from 2009 to 2019. She came to NIST from Arizona State University (ASU), where she began as a Faculty Research Associate in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and the Center for Solid State Science, served as a Senior Research Scientist in the LeRoy Eyring Center for Solid State Science and as an affiliated faculty member of the School of Materials and Department of Chemical Engineering. Dr. Sharma is one of the pioneers in the development of environment cell scanning/transmission electron microscopy (E(S)TEM), combining atomic-scale resolution with dynamic chemical analysis of gas-solid reactions. She has applied this powerful technique to characterize atomic-scale mechanisms underlying the synthesis and reactivity of nanoparticles (including catalysts), nanotubes, nanowires, inorganic solids, ceramics, semiconductors, and superconductor materials. She has over 180 publications to her name.

Design and execute cutting-edge experiments with transmission electron microscopy using this essential guide

In-situ microscopy is a recently-discovered and rapidly-developing approach to transmission electron microscopy (TEM) that allows for the study of atomic and/or molecular changes and processes while they are in progress. Experimental specimens are subjected to stimuli that replicate near real-world conditions and their effects are observed at a previously unprecedented scale. Though in-situ microscopy is becoming an increasingly important approach to TEM, there are no current texts combining an up-to-date overview of this cutting-edge set of techniques with the experience of in-situ TEM professionals.

In-Situ Transmission Electron Microscopy Experiments meets this need with a work that synthesizes the collective experience of myriad collaborators. It constitutes a comprehensive guide for planning and performing in-situ TEM measurements, incorporating both fundamental principles and novel techniques. Its combination of technical detail and practical how-to advice makes it an indispensable introduction to this area of research.

In-Situ Transmission Electron Microscopy Experiments readers will also find:

• Coverage of the entire experimental process, from method selection to experiment design to measurement and data analysis
• Detailed treatment of multimodal and correlative microscopy, data processing and machine learning, and more
• Discussion of future challenges and opportunities facing this field of research

In-Situ Transmission Electron Microscopy Experiments is essential for graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and early career researchers entering the field of in-situ TEM.
