"Transmission Electron Microscopy of Nanomaterials"
12th TEM-UCA European Summer Workshop

9-13 July 2012, Puerto Real (Cádiz) SPAIN


University of Cádiz FUECA

The TEM-UCA workshop  has started

Introduction

The TEM-UCA Summer Workshop “Transmission Electron Microscopy of Nanomaterials” will be held at University of Cádiz from 9th to 13nd July 2012. This Workshop will be devoted to review the advancements of Transmission Electron Microscopy, both imaging and spectroscopic techniques, in the characterization of a wide range of nanomaterials. During the morning, the speakers (9 lectures, see program) will illustrate how TEM techniques as High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy, High Angle Annular Dark Field imaging, Electron Tomography, Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy, Exit Wave Restoration Techniques and Cs corrected S/TEM studies can be combined to obtain structural and chemical information of the analysed materials at the atomic scale. Examples will illustrate the practical aspects of nanomaterials characterization and its applications in different fields.

During the afternoon, the participants will be divided in 2 groups to participate at computer labs in which they will get trained in the practical use of different software applications in the field of TEM. The topics covered in these computers labs will be the following:

  • High Resolution Electron Microscopy (HREM): Image Processing.
  • Modelling of nanoparticles and HREM simulation.
  • Electron Tomography
  • Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy (EELS).

During the workshop, the participants will also have the chance of discussing their data (5-10 min), asking questions and receiving suggestions from from the teachers attending the school. This is an invaluable opportunity for all of us to progress in our understanding of materials properties and electron microscopy techniques.

The Workshop is limited to a maximum number of 30 attendees. If you are currently working or interested in the field of nanomaterials and their characterization by TEM, send your preregistration as soon as possible. We look forward to seeing you in Cádiz, the most ancient city in Occident.
