PREMIER CAT - Using Dynamic TEM to Study the Nucleation and Growth of Organic Semiconductor Nanostructures
EMSL Project ID
49067
Abstract
The in situ growth of organic crystalline nanostructures in solution will be examined by dynamic TEM to understand the growth mechanism of these unusual structures. This understanding will aid in the development of new materials with novel geometries for applications in light sensing devices for electronics and energy production. Using the liquid flow holder available at EMSL we will react two heated solutions and observe the growth phenomenon by the successive image capturing capabilities of the dynamic TEM. The dynamic TEM will enable us to avoid electron beam damage of these organic materials.
