STEM_imaging Stained Glass Window: Large angle convergent beam electron diffraction (LACBED) pattern of ~40nm thick exfoliated ErTe3 flake. LACBED patterns are useful to study the crystallographic symmetries in a sample. These patterns are taken at large defocus, and contain both real and reciprocal-space information, making the interpretation of scale bars difficult. || Submitted by: Saif Siddique || Advisor: Judy Cha || Data like this can be acquired on our Andromeda, Kraken, or Themis microscopes. HAADF-STEM of Cu-Au Nanorods: Atomic resolution HAADF-STEM images of colloidally-synthesized Cu-Au nano rods. Atomically precise synthesis and morphology control are essential to develop the catalysts of tomorrow. || Submittedby: Ritwick Sinha || Advisor: Yong L.Joo || Data like this can be acquired on our Andromeda, Kraken, or Themis microscopes. Twin[ned] Peak(s): A HAADF-STEM image of a tantalum oxide film grown with molecular beam epitaxy. High temperature decomposition of the substrate incorporates magnesium into the film and creates peaks and gullies whose topography gives rise to complex arrangements of twin domains. || Submitted by: Noah Schnitzer || Advisor: David Muller || Data like this can be acquired on our Andromeda, Kraken, or Themis microscopes. Interfaces Like Never Before: Montage of ptychographic images showing the interface between ferroelectric sodium niobate thin film (top) and dysprosium scandate substrate (bottom) along two orthogonal directions. The advanced imaging capabilities of electron ptychography enable the study of interface effects and ferroelectric distortions at a level of resolution and detail unmatched by any other technique. Sample from Prof. Harold Hwang's group at Stanford. || Submitted by: Harikrishnan Kunhikrishnan Premakumari || Advisor: David Muller || Data like this can be acquired on our Andromeda, Kraken, or Themis microscopes. Slips in the Highway to Hell: Atomic resolution image of a slip defect in a free-standing strontium titanate membrane. While the membrane might appear to form a "Stairway to Heaven", the presence of the slip defect, striking like the lightning bolt of AC/DC, reveals that this is a "Highway to Hell".
