Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) offers the opportunity to probe the crystal structure, defects, local chemistry, electronic structure and related information at a nanometer-or-less length scale. This allows one to view individual atoms to identify grain boundaries and other imperfections in a specimen.

EPIC-TEM Highlight

Feature Article: Nature Communications, 2023

An article authored by the VPD group and Professor Chad Mirkin’s group, entitled "Formation Mechanism of High-Index Faceted Pt-Bi Alloy Nanoparticles by Evaporation-Induced Growth from Metal Salts," has recently been featured in Nature Communications. The remarkable findings about creating complex nanoparticles have garnered significant recognition, being selected as Editor’s Highlights in both the "Inorganic and Physical Chemistry" and "Materials Science and Chemistry" sections of Nature Communications Journal. This recognition further underscores the importance of this research in advancing our understanding of nanomaterials.
