Transmission electron microscopy is an indispensable tool in modern materials science. It
enables the structure of materials to be studied with high spatial resolution, and thus makes …

First results on the experimental realisation of a 2× 2 programmable phase plate for
electrons are presented. The design consists of an array of electrostatic elements that …

Two-dimensional (2D) materials are attracting increasing research interest owing to their
distinct tunable physical properties. Moreover, the ubiquitous defects in 2D materials offer an …

In this paper, we review the current state of phase plate imaging in a transmission electron
microscope. We focus especially on the hole-free phase plate design, also referred to as the …

Electron microscopy, a sub-field of microanalysis, is critical to many fields of research. The
widespread use of electron microscopy for imaging molecules and materials has had an …

Imaging of biomolecules by ionizing radiation, such as electrons, causes radiation damage
which introduces structural and compositional changes of the specimen. The total number of …

Detailed simulations are necessary to correctly interpret the charge polarity of electron beam
irradiated thin film patch. Relying on systematic simulations we provide guidelines and …

We explore the possibility of applying physical phase plates (PPs) in combination with
aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy. Phase-contrast transfer …

Numerous physical phase plates (PP) for phase-contrast enhancement in transmission
electron microscopy (TEM) have been proposed and studied with the hole-free or Volta PP …

Various characterization techniques are employed to analyze the purity, morphological,
structural, compositional, functional group, and optical properties of graphene quantum dots …
