Electron optics and method development

Research topics

Research areas include the development and distribution of exit wave phase reconstruction tools together with research activities in the field of spherical aberration-corrected high-resolution (scanning) transmission electron microscopy with a special emphasis on the application of these techniques to advanced materials combinations for technological applications.

• Instrument development & improvement
• Performance characterization and resolution assessment
• High-precision aberration measurement and aberration monitoring
• Numerical procedures for the quantification of electron microscopy images
• Simulation of electron scattering and solution of the inverse scattering problem
• Simulation of HRTEM/HRSTEM imaging & development of phase-retrieval methods
• Model-based reconstruction of magnetization from electron optical phase images
• Theory and characterization of electron detectors
