GRK 1896

CENEM scientists develop method for cleaning surfaces at the nanoscale A team of scientists at Friedrich-Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) has developed a novel mechanical cleaning method for surfaces on the nanoscale. The technique successfully removes even the tiniest contaminants do...

We are happy to announce, that the paper “Low Energy Nano Diffraction (LEND)–A versatile diffraction technique in SEM” by GRK member Peter Schweizer and coworkers was recently published in Ultramicroscopy. This work demonstrates a novel setup for transmission diffraction in scanning electron micros...

In a recent publication, researchers of our associated GRK1896 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....

This term's regular seminar of CENEM's research training unit GRK1896 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 produ...

A collaborative "Highly Effective Propane Dehydrogenation Using Ga−Rh Supported Catalytically Active Liquid Metal Solutions" has been recently published in ACS Catalysis. This work was contributed by a team of scientist in Erlangen including Chemists, Experimental/Theoretical Physcists, Materials Sc...

The PhD defence of CENEM's research unit GRK1896 member Mr. Peter Schweizer took place on 18. Sep. 2019. With his beautiful work of “Manipulation of individual defects in 2D and layered materials”, he has been awarded the title Dr.-Ing. with the top overall grade "summa cum laude" His PhD work ha...

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...

The CENEM research unit 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...

Liquid phase electron microscopy is a powerful technique for investigating processes directly on site with high spatial and temporal resolution. This particular in situ technique was shown to be suitable for application in materials sciences, energy storage and biology. In a recent publication, rese...

Transition metal oxides, such as TiO2, ZnO or MoO2, and transition metal chalcogenides like WS2 or MoS2 represent two classes of functional materials, both hold great promise for applications in nanotechnology, ranging from energy storage to microelectronics. In a recent work "Transforming layered M...
