NIST Atomic-Resolution Chemical Imaging of Individual Nanostructures in an Aberration-Corrected STEM/TEM

Due: May 1, 2025

$82,764

Description

Electron scattering is uniquely suited to the atomic-scale characterization of individual nanostructures because electrons have small (nm-scale) elastic and inelastic mean free paths and because electromagnetic fields can be used as electron optical lens elements for image formation. Recent breakthroughs in electron optical design and fabrication have allowed the correction of performance-limiting lens aberrations. Our group houses a state-of-the-art (scanning) transmission electron microscope (STEM/TEM) equipped with a monochrom...

Grantor Contact InformationAndrew Anthony Herzing Phone: 301.975.2860Grantor Emailandrew.herzing@nist.govOther Grantor InformationThe NRC Research Associateship Programs (RAP) are prestigious postdoctoral and senior research awards designed to provide promising scientists and engineers with high-quality research opportunities at federal laboratories and affiliated institutions. Conducted by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Fellowships Office since 1954, these programs offer a comprehensive research experience through a rigorous selection process. The programs aim to: 1) Offer promising postdoctoral and senior scientists/engineers the chance to pursue self-directed research aligned with sponsoring laboratories' goals, 2) Enhance comprehensive research efforts of participating laboratories, 3) Provide recent doctoral graduates a platform for focused research collaboration with permanent laboratory staff, and 4) Foster professional growth by providing opportunities to gain skills, experience, and connections with leading scientists, ultimately enhancing career prospects in academia, industry, or government research roles. The programs provide mentorship, access to state-of-the-art facilities, and opportunities to influence government policy.
