We are happy that after the Corona break this year's GRK summer school took place from the 20th to 23rd of September in Bodenwöhr. As the first on-site event since spring 2020 it essentially contributed to interlink the GRK 1896 projects in particular on the PhD level. The school was kicked off by a...

The article “Effect of size and shape on the elastic modulus of metal nanowires” by Lilian Vogl, Peter Schweizer, Gunther Richter and Erdmann Spiecker has recently been published in MRS Advances. Congratulations, Lili and Peter! The GRK and IMN researchers make use of the resonance vibration of meta...

A cooperation between GRK and CENEM researchers unraveled the unexpected positive influence of grain boundary mediated plasticity on the ductility of metallic thin films, with far ranging consequences for applications. The limited ductility of metallic thin films (< 1%) poses a challenge to ME...

The article “Unraveling Structural Details in Ga-Pd SCALMS Systems Using Correlative Nano-CT, 360° Electron Tomography and Analytical TEM” by Janis Wirth, Silvan Englisch, Dominik Drobek, Benjamin Apeleo Zubiri, Mingjian Wu, Nicola Taccardi, Narayanan Raman, Peter Wasserscheid and Erdmann Spiecker h...

CENEM and GRK members contributed by investigating the morphology and the agglomeration of SPIONs and nano plastic particles by employing scale-briding electron and X-ray microscopy and tomography techniques. The corresponding paper is now published in Materials Today, further details and background...

In a communication accepted by Nanoscale Advances (“Accessing local electron-beam induced temperature changes during in situ liquid-phase transmission electron microscopy”), it was unveiled that the electron beam can significantly heat up a metallic sample during liquid-phase transmission electron m...

The paper on “Microscopic Deformation Modes and Impact of Network Anisotropy on the Mechanical and Electrical Performance of Five-fold Twinned Silver Nanowire Electrodes” by Nadine Schrenker and colleagues has been recently published in ACS Nano. Congratulations! Silver nanowire (AgNW) network...

Dr.-Ing. Peter Schweizer, who completed his PhD at IMN with distinction in 2019, has recently received a prestigious STAEDLER award together with 10 other candidates from FAU. Since 1999, the STAEDTLER Foundation has honored young scientists from the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnb...

The article “Correlative laboratory Nano-CT and 360° electron tomography of macropore structures in hierarchical zeolites” by Benjamin Apeleo Zubiri, Janis Wirth, Dominik Drobek, Silvan Englisch, Thomas Przybilla, Tobias Weissenberger, Wilhelm Schwieger, and Erdmann Spiecker has recently been publis...

GRK research results in novel apporach for determining the number of layers of 2D materials In a recent publication, a team of researchers of the GRK 1896, TU Dresden and Fraunhofer IISB developed an approach for conclusively determining the number of layers of different 2D materials within Van-der...
