In situ Microscopy with Electrons, X-rays and Scanning Probes

Welcome to our GRK 1896 Homepage!

The doctoral program GRK 1896 “In situ Microscopy with Electrons, X-rays and Scanning Probes” combines, for the first time, three pillars of nanocharacterization into a structured research training group. The main objective of this program is to provide the next generation of scientists and engineers with comprehensive, method-spanning and interdisciplinary training in the application of cutting-edge nanocharacterization tools to materials and device development. Our PhD candidates are well-positioned in a network of international collaborations and highly trained in multiple, complementary techniques, providing them with an essential foundation for a successful career in the field of advanced materials and devices development.

Investigating interface reactions in liquids at the nanoscale – Research of the GRK on the inside front cover of Advanced Materials Interfaces

In a recent publication, researchers of our GRK present in situ investigations of reactions at a solid-liquid-gas interface using liquid cell transmission electron microscopy. The work published open access in Advanced Materials Interfaces (Art. No. 1901027: https://www.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/1...

GRK1896 Excursion to the World’s Largest CT Factory located at Siemens Healthineers in Forchheim

This term's regular GRK seminar started with an excursion to the largest CT factory in the world. The GRK1896 members got insight into the assembling steps from the on short notice delivery from an logistic partner of the individual parts towards the final product in the Siemens Healthineers factory...

VR-assisted segmentation of tomography elaborated defects in self-assembled colloidal clusters

In a recent paper published in ACS Nano, researchers from particle technology and theory have worked together with CENEM and it's research training group members to decrypt the free energy landscape of colloidal clusters in sphere confinement, using the model system of polystyrene (PS) particles. Th...

SEM lecture given by advanced GRK PhD student placed first in teaching evaluation

The GRK 1896 is very proud, that our member Peter Schweizer has received first place out of 63 in the teaching evaluation of the technical faculty (category VP5) for the lecture “Rasterelektronenmikroskopie in der Materialforschung”. The lecture pretty much deals with the central techniques utilized...
