From July 14 to July 18

Transmission Electron Microscopy of Nanomaterials - European Summer School

The School

The TEM-UCA Summer Workshop Transmission Electron Microscopy of Nanomaterials is devoted to review the advancements of Transmission Electron Microscopy, both imaging and spectroscopic techniques, in the characterization of a wide range of nanomaterials. The Workshop is limited to a maximum number of 24 attendees. Our attendees are people currently working or interested in the field of nanomaterials and their characterization by TEM.

Lecturers

Several Speakers will illustrate how TEM techniques as High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy, High Angle Annular Dark Field imaging, Electron Tomography, Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy, and Cs corrected S/TEM studies can be combined to obtain structural and chemical information of the analysed materials at the atomic scale. Some examples illustrate the practical aspects of nanomaterials characterization and its applications in different fields.

Practical Labs

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 are: High Resolution Electron Microscopy (HREM), Image Processing and Image Simulations. Modelling of Nanoparticles, Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy (EELS), X-Ray Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDX) and Electron Tomography.

TEM-UCA School provides the tools to understand and manipulate TEM/STEM data at a higher level.

TEM-UCA School

Organized by the group FQM334 within the Department of Materials Science, Metallurgical Engineering and Inorganic Chemistry, the Research Institute of Electron Microscopy and Materials (IMEYMAT) and the Integrated Infrastructure for Electron Microscopy of Materials (ELECMI), with the support of the Vice-Rectorate of Research of the University of Cádiz.

Held at the Faculty of Science and managed by FundUCA
