Ultrafast Electron Microscope available at Argonne’s Center for Nanoscale Materials

Подробнее о видео

Ilke Arslan, Director of Argonne National Laboratory’s Center for Nanoscale Materials (CNM), discusses the facility’s new Ultrafast Electron Microscope (UEM).

A unique user capability among the national laboratories, the UEM combines ultrafast lasers with a modified transmission electron microscope. It allows scientists to look at nanoscale structural and chemical changes in materials at ultrafast time scales — with resolution of hundreds of femtoseconds.

Scientists can observe these dynamics either through direct imaging, diffraction or spectroscopy using high-sensitivity cameras. The UEM is used for a variety of applications, including sustainable energy harvesting and quantum information science.

CNM is a DOE Office of Science User Facility.
