Advanced In Situ Methods for Materials Characterization
Structural characterization of materials down to the atomic scale is essential for understanding properties and performances of materials. The holy grail is to perform at the same time advanced structural and property characterization under realistic dynamic conditions. Recent technological advancements now allow us approaching this holy grail. 
In the present (afternoon) workshop the main focus is on the use of structural probes based on electrons, X-rays (lab-based or synchrotron) and neutrons and then perform in-situ or operando dynamical experiments. This for instance allows atomic resolution imaging of nanoscale electronic devices subjected to electrical fields, light driven processes monitored inside the electron microscope, nanoscale catalysts interacting with gases and liquids and operando studies of battery materials.
