Nanotechnology - TEM Gemini Centre
Nanotechnology
The TEM Gemini Centre has several small and larger projects related to studying nanoparticles, 1D-nanostructures (i.e. nanowires, carbon nanotubes), thin films and there is an increasing interest in 2D-crystals such as graphene.
Many nano-related projects have taken advantage of the new TEM infrastructure so far, and we expect that the TEM work dedicated to Nanotechnology will be growing in the coming years. NTNU NanoLab is an important partner.
Examples of research areas
- Large scale nanostructuring, where TEM will be used to understand how the ion beam alters the materials
- Ozide electronics
- LaFeO3 thin films
- Solar cells and LEDs based on III-V nanowires
