Achoo! Pollen Does More than Make Us Sneeze
18 Mar 2020 | | Contributor(s):: Holly Leddy, NNCI Nano
Harness the power of a scanning electron microscope to let students see that pollen is more than just the yellow dust that makes us sneeze sometimes! Students will learn to use scale bars to interpret size on microscope images, thus meeting math as well as science standards. Using that...

CDs and DVDs as Diffraction Gratings
13 Jan 2020 | | Contributor(s):: Rama Balachandran, Karen Porter Davis, NNCI Nano
The objective of this lab is to compare the diffraction behavior of light waves between a CD and DVD. CDs and DVDs contain regularly spaced micrometer sized features which can act like a diffraction grating. Using commercial electronic storage devices like CDs and DVDs as gratings rather than...

Charge Transport in Perovskite Solar Cells Visualized using Ultrafast Microscopy
27 Nov 2017 | | Contributor(s):: Jordan Snaider
Overcoming the Shockley-Queisser limit for solar cell efficiency is possible if hot carriers can be harvested before they reach thermal equilibrium with the surrounding lattice. To efficiently extract hot carriers, they need to migrate sufficiently long distances for collection at the...

Charged-Particle Interaction Analysis
07 Jan 2022 | | Contributor(s):: Atilla Ozgur Cakmak, NACK Network
Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) has traditionally been the most frequently used micro-/nano- characterization technique to overcome the optical losses coming from lenses. In this talk we are going to begin by discussing the fundamental blocks of an SEM starting from the electron beam emission....
