Johannes Biskupek Invited Talk

Dr Johannes Biskupek from Ulm University will be our next presenter in the NMRC's Invited Talk series on Tuesday 11th July.  His talk, entitled 'High-resolution TEM imaging and energy loss spectroscopy at low acceleration voltages', will report results from the SALVE (sub-Ångstrøm low voltage electron microscopy) instrument which is a TEM equipped with a geometric and chromatic aberration corrector and is voltage-tunable between 20 to 80 kV.

Dr Biskupek studied Physics (Diploma degree) at the Friedrich Schiller University of Jena. At Jena he also received in 2005 his PhD degree on the characterization of magnetic nanoparticles using electron microscopy. He then moved to Ulm University to work in the group of Prof. Ute Kaiser; first as postdoc later than as permanent staff scientist. He works on the investigation and structure determination of low dimensional nanostructures using transmission electron microscopy. He is co-head of the development team of the SALVE project that was started in 2011 with the aim to develop an ultrahigh-resolution TEM for operation down to 20 kV (see http://www.salve-project.de).

This lecture is open to University of Nottingham staff and students, no registration is required but seating is limited to 30, we therefore recommend you arrive early to secure a space at the talk.
