characterization of nanomaterials
Recently, material science research has intensified in an attempt to understand materials at the atomic level and apply them to electronic devices or battery materials. We perform the front-line material research by using the cutting-edge electron microscopy techniques. We develop low-voltage TEM/STEM which enables the single molecular imaging and single atom spectroscopy, and high-resolution environmental TEM for the in situ observations of interaction of solid surface with gas atmosphere to realize novel nanostructures and unforeseen properties.
