Electron Optics and Nanoanalysis Lab
The Electron Optics, Nanostructures and Analysis research lab are interested in the development of novel instruments and methods for the quantitative analysis of nano-dimensional structures. The group is renown for its leadership in the field of Scanning Auger electron microscopy (SAM) and was the first to develop a parallel spectral acquisition.
Another leading activity is the development of novel high brightness electron cathodes for various applications. These include using carbon nanotubes as electron cathodes for high resolution electron microscopy and Schottky emitters for high angular current intensity applications, to name but two.
The group also leads the development of ultra-low voltage electron microscopy, where the incident electrons used are in the range of sub-10 eV electron energies. This mode has led to the detection of regions of differently doped semiconductors.
