EMAT (Electron Microscopy for Materials Science)

EMAT is one of the leading electron microscopy centers in the world and has a vast expertise in both fundamental and applied electron microscopy. EMAT has several state of the art electron microscopes including multiple aberration corrected, high end transmission electron microscopes (TEM), a dual beam focused ion beam scanning electron microscopes (SEM), an environmental SEM, and many others... Techniques: 3D characterization of nanomaterials via electron tomography Positioning atoms with picometer precision from high resolution images Detailed interpretation of EELS data Advanced EDX on low concentration impurities Materials: Energy transition materials Semiconductors Raw materials Shape memory alloys Multiferroic materials Ceramic thin films with specific properties (superconducting, ferroelectric, …). Nanostructured materials Carbon based materials Zeolites and mesoporous materials Soft matter and polymers EMAT is a Research Group of the Department of Physics, the Faculty of Science, University of Antwerp.
