The first seminar "Introduction for TEM" was held

The seminar was aimed at those who are considering using electron microscopes and those who have started using them but are not sure about the principles. We would also like to thank the participants for their cooperation in completing the questionnaire. We will continue to update the content each year and look forward to your continued participation.

The research work about direct imaging of atomistic grain boundary migration has been press-released. Detail

By the combinination of atomic-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and electron beam irradiation technique, it has been clarified the process of grain boundary migration in ceramics at the atomic level. It was also found that the migration procee was recognized with a new mechanism in which the grain boundary migrates due to the sequential change of the atomic structure polyhedron at the grain boundary. From the results obtained by the atomic level analysis, it would lead the creation of high-performance ceramic materials with controlled grain boundaries. The result was published in the "Nature Materials" on January 12 (Tuesday), Japan time at 1:00 am (UK time: 4:00 pm on Monday, November 11), and were reported in various newspapers.
