The article “Correlative laboratory Nano-CT and 360° electron tomography of macropore structures in hierarchical zeolites” by Benjamin Apeleo Zubiri, Janis Wirth, Dominik Drobek, Silvan Englisch, Thomas Przybilla, Tobias Weissenberger, Wilhelm Schwieger, and Erdmann Spiecker has recently been publis...
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. ...
Wie lassen sich ultradünne Beschichtungen von einigen Nanometern gezielt herstellen? Darüber hat sich der Erlanger Bundestagsabgeordnete Stefan Müller bei einem Besuch am Interdisziplinären Zentrum für Nanostrukturierte Filme (IZNF) der FAU informiert.
Zu Beginn des Besuchs in dem neu errichteten...
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...
What began as a sport to compensate for the often long day in the lab has become a passion: our colleague Lilian Vogl has accepted the challenge of the Germany Tour stage from Ebensfeld to Erlangen. Together with a group of enthusiastic racing cyclists, she arrived at the finish after 87 km at the r...
The paper "Segregation-assisted climb of Frank partial dislocations: An alternative route to superintrinsic stacking faults in L12-hardened superalloys" by Malte Lenz, Mingjian Wu and Erdmann Spiecker has recently been published in Acta Materialia.
Congratulations!
As the fundamental carrier o...
