We proudly welcome a new high-end TEM instrument to the IMN and CENEM. The new Thermo Fisher Scientific (TFS) Spectra 200 has been installed from September until December 2020, and, since January 2021, it started its operation in the CENEM labs located at the building of Interdisciplinary Center for...

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...

Ni-based superalloys exhibit outstanding high-temperature mechanical properties, which makes them uniquely suitable for modern jet engines and power plants. Their superb high-temperature performance (e.g., creep strength, oxidation resistance) are to large parts governed by the elementary processes ...

Two research papers from the high-temperature group have been published recently in the Proceedings of Superalloys 2020. The principal goal of the symposium is to highlight new initiatives and future growth opportunities for superalloys that are used in gas turbine engines and related applications. ...

A special edition of Advanced Engineering Materials, one of the major scientific journals for materials science, is available as of today: The "Special Issue: Materials Science and Engineering at Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU)" with specialist contributions from scientist...

FAU scientists develop method for cleaning surfaces at the nanoscale A team of scientists at Friedrich-Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) has developed a novel mechanical cleaning method for surfaces on the nanoscale. The technique successfully removes even the tiniest contaminants down...

The paper “A versatile diffraction technique in SEM” by Peter Schweizer, Peter Denninger, Christian Dolle and Erdmann Spiecker is recently published in Ultramicroscopy. This work demonstrates a novel setup for transmission diffraction in scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and its applications. Us...
