2016

Chenyu and Andy have published a paper in Nanotechnology applying advanced methods in data science to STEM EDS spectrum images. They built on our past work using non-rigid registration and incorporated a new method for …

A paper containing some beautiful microanalysis results on patterned magnetic tunnel junctions by Congli has been published in Nanotechnology.

Li has published a paper in PRB describing radiation-induced mobility of defect clusters in SiC observed using high-resolution low-angle dark-field STEM. Congratulations, Li!

Two pictures from the recent group outing to Governor Dodge State Park. The first one is the entire group, including family members, at the cookout. The second one is the more intrepid group half way …

Jason won a poster award at the BMG XI, the 11th International Conference on Bulk Metallic Glasses for his poster “Medium-Range Structure of Zr-Cu-Al Bulk Metallic Glasses from Structure Optimization Based on Fluctuation Microscopy”. Congratulations, …

Li and Pei’s paper on electron correlation microscopy has won the Best Techniques and Instrumentation Paper in the journal Microscopy and Microanalysis for 2016.  Congratulations to Li and Pei for this well-deserved recognition of their …

Ashutosh has contributed to a paper demonstrating layer-by-layer controlled growth of h-BN on Co and h-BN / graphene heterostructures, which has appeared in Langmuir.

Yizhang and Li contributed to a paper on correlations between black spot defects (small point defect clusters) and swelling in irradiated SiC, which has just appeared in Journal of Nuclear Materials.

Min Yu’s paper on nanoparticle structure refinement based on Andy’s STEM data has been published in ACS Nano.  Congratulations on Min, Andy, and the other authors.

Zhongnan Xu has joined the group as a joint post-doc  with the Computational Materials Group to work on structure optimization for catalysis.  Zhongnan comes to us from John Kitchin’s group at Carnegie Mellon University.
