10-11 December 2020, Barcelona, Spain (Virtual Meeting)
GENERAL INFO
Advanced Microscopy techniques are widely recognized as one of the pillars onto which the research and manufacture of nanotechnology-based products are sustained. At present, the greatest challenge faced by these techniques is the realization of fast and non-destructive tomographic images with chemical composition sensitivity and with sub-10 nm spatial resolution, in both organic and inorganic materials, and in all environmental conditions. Scanning Probe Microscopes are currently one of the Advanced Microscopy techniques experiencing the fastest evolution and innovation towards solving this challenge. Scanning Probe Microscopes have crossed fundamental barriers, and novel systems exist that show potential unparalleled performance in terms of 3D nanoscale imaging capabilities, imaging speed, and chemical sensitivity mapping. During the last four years, a group of 14 PhD students has developed their thesis projects on this topic within the ITN SPM2.0. In this workshop, the PhD students will present their major findings. To promote the debate, two invited speakers external to the Network will present the latest advances based on other nanoscopic techniques.
The workshop will take place on-line and it is open and free to any researcher with no required previous registration.
