Setting up a Nanolab inside a TEM for Nanoresearch
Affiliation: Nano-Pico Center, Key Laboratory of MEMS, China
Abstract Details: With the continuous improvement of in situ techniques inside transmission electron microscope (TEM), the capabilities of TEM extend beyond structurual characterization to high-precision nanofabrication and property measurement, which not only enriches the experimental methods of nanoresearch, but also provides new opportunities for the development in nanoscience and nanotechnology. Based on the idea of 'setting up a nanolab inside a TEM', we present our recent progress in carbon related nanomaterials including in situ growth, nanofabrication with atomic resolution, in situ property characterization, nanodevice construction and other possible applications (e.g. a 5nm-diameter hole on graphene for third-generation gene sequencing, the spongy graphene as an ultra-efficient sorbent for oils and organic solvents, etc.).
