Deformation behavior of micron-sized polycrystalline gold particles studied by in situ compression experiments and frictional finite element simulation
Gold particles in the micro- and nanometer size regime find wide spread technical applications. Especially for micro- and nanoelectromechanical applications the mechanical properties can determine…The 16th European Microscopy Congress 2016
Direct Observation of CVD Graphene Growth and Related Surface Dynamics of Active Metal Catalysts by In-situ Scanning Electron Microscopy
During the last three years, we have modified the set-up of a conventional scanning electron microscope in order to enable the observation of catalyst surface…The 16th European Microscopy Congress 2016
The Dynamics of Active Metal Catalysts Revealed by In-Situ Electron Microscopy
Conventional high-resolution imaging by electron microscopy plays an important role in the structural and compositional analysis of catalysts. However, since the observations are generally performed…The 16th European Microscopy Congress 2016
Monitoring the Dynamics of Heterogeneous Catalysts by Electron Microscopy
It is known that the shape of metal catalysts adapts to the chemical potential of the surrounding atmosphere and that the active surface evolves dynamically…The 16th European Microscopy Congress 2016
Correlating structure and mechanical properties for submicron amorphous silica spheres
Spherical amorphous silica particles obtained from the well-known Stöber-Fink-Bohn (SFB) synthesis are frequently used as standards for size or shape and as proxy for the…The 16th European Microscopy Congress 2016
In situ compression experiments of fused silica pillars in the TEM and SEM
While fused silica is known for its brittleness on macroscopic scale [1], it exhibits an amount of plasticity on microscale [2]. Thermally-treated Stöber-Fink-Bohn (SFB)-type silica…
