NSLS Users' Meeting

Organizer(s): Fernando Camino, CFN/BNL, fcamino@bnl.gov; Dong Su, CFN/BNL, dsu@bnl.gov

Description: EELS and EDS are powerful and somewhat complementary techniques for the investigation of chemical composition and electronic properties of a wide class of materials and interfaces. In this workshop, which is divided in talks and hands-on (lab) sessions, experts in EELS and EDS will present important results obtained with these techniques in the study of energy-related materials, such as solar cells and batteries. Also, a group of technical talks will discuss the effective use of EDS in both scanning and transmission electron microscopes. Finally, a very important part of the workshop consists of hands-on sessions in five state-of-the-art TEMs and SEMs. In these lab sessions, both beginners and experienced participants will have the opportunity to learn and share practical aspects of these valuable techniques.
