Silicate glasses are durable materials, but are they sufficiently durable to confine highly
radioactive wastes for hundreds of thousands years? Addressing this question requires a …

Significant efforts have been made into understanding the dissolution of silicate glasses and
minerals, but there is still debate about the formation processes and the properties of surface …

Electron energy loss filtered images recorded within a transmission analytical electron
microscope are now widely used for the mapping of the elemental distribution of a given …

We report and discuss results of atom probe tomography (APT) and energy-filtered
transmission electron microscopy (EFTEM) applied to a borosilicate glass sample of nuclear …

Electron spectroscopic imaging (ESI) in the transmission electron microscope (TEM) can be
efficiently used to detect precipitates in solids. In this work we used a GATAN imaging filter …

Among electron beam microanalytical techniques, electron energy loss spectrometry (EELS)
offers unique advantages in terms of information content, sensitivity, limits of detection. This …

An energy filtering transmission microscope can provide information about the spatial
distribution of an element by selecting an energy loss corresponding to a characteristic inner …

The major contribution of the alpha decay of minor actinides to the long-term radiation
component of nuclear glasses under disposal conditions has been recently highlighted, and …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the role played by tools originating from the field
of artificial intelligence (AI). The aim of AI is to stimulate the developments of computer …

Elemental analysis of inhomogeneous materials can now routinely be performed at the
nanometer level, using characteristic EELS signals. Major progress in spatial resolution and …
