Towards novel tools for in operando TEM: Plasma modification live

• Applicants: Professor Dr. Holger Kersten; Professor Dr. Lorenz Kienle
• Subject Area: Synthesis and Properties of Functional Materials
• Term: from 2019 to 2022
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 413664940

• Final Report Year: 2022

Final Report Abstract

The work of the applicants and their doctoral students systematically analyzed the pathways towards an in situ / operando microplasma cell. A large step towards a better understanding of the role of plasma physics in modern material science has been provided by the work conducted over the course of this project. A strong basis for the realization of the thus far unavailable in situ microplasma environmental TEM capability has been laid out.
