DURIP-22 SEM ACQUISITION FOR STRUCTURAL AND MECHANICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF BIO-, META- AND LOW DIMENSIONAL MATERIALS
Abstract
The ever-decreasing spatiotemporal scales in which advances in material engineering are being defined, call for the implementation of the most modern imaging and testing capabilities. In this respect, the resolution offered by modern scanning electron microscopes (SEM) provides unprecedented capabilities for: i) unraveling the synergistic relationships between material composition and architecture found in natural materials, ii) resolving reliability issues that limit the widespread application of low-dimensional materials in new electronics,sensors, solar cells, batteries, iii) allowing the inspection of materials and parts produced by novel nanoscale self-assembly and additive manufacturing processes, iv) characterizing physically and chemically coupled plasmonic nanoparticles arrays, and v) advancing in-situ experiments for validation of computational models developed using multi-scale and machine learning approaches, to cite a few.
