Charge transfer in oxide heterostructures can be tuned to promote emergent interfacial states, and accordingly, has been the subject of intense study in recent years. However, accessing the physics at these interfaces, which are often…
Electrons in solids owe their properties to the periodic potential landscapes they experience. The advent of moir\'e lattices has revolutionized our ability to engineer such landscapes on nanometer scales, leading to numerous groundbreaking…
Defect color centers in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) have gained significant interest as single-photon emitters and spin qubits for applications in a wide range of quantum technologies. As the integration of these solid-state quantum…
Direct electron detectors in scanning transmission electron microscopy give unprecedented possibilities for structure analysis at the nanoscale. In electronic and quantum materials, this new capability gives access to, for example, emergent…
Size effects are ubiquitous in the structural, mechanical, and physical properties of materials, making it highly desirable to study the intrinsic properties of thick objects through high-resolution structural analysis in transmission…
Using density functional theory (DFT), we study charge transfer between hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) point defects and graphene in h-BN/graphene heterostructures for a range of intrinsic defects -- nitrogen vacancy, boron vacancy,…
Single molecules that exhibit narrow optical transitions at cryogenic temperatures can be used as local electric-field sensors. We derive the single charge sensitivity of aromatic organic dye molecules, based on first principles. Through…
We study theoretically the charge separation in a planar array of semiconducting nanotubes (NTs) of length, 2h, placed in external electric field, F, parallel to their axes. By employing the conformal mapping, we find analytically the exact…

We propose a setup enabling electron energy loss spectroscopy to determine the density of the electrons accumulated by an electro-positive dielectric in contact with a plasma. It is based on a two-layer structure inserted into a recess of…
Ptychography is a computational imaging technique that has risen in popularity in the x-ray and electron microscopy communities in the past half decade. One of the reasons for this success is the development of new high performance electron…
The 248nm and 193nm photodissociation of submonolayer quantities of CH$_3$Br and CH$_3$I adsorbed on thin layers of n-hexane indicate that the dissociation is caused by dissociative electron attachment from sub-vacuum level photoelectrons…

We describe a novel technique to characterize ultrashort electron bunches in X-ray Free-Electron Lasers. Namely, we propose to use coherent Optical Transition Radiation to measure three-dimensional (3D) electron density distributions. Our…
Spectro-ptychography offers improved spatial resolution and additional phase spectral information relative to that provided by scanning transmission X-ray microscopes (STXM). However, carrying out ptychography at the lower range of soft…
Obtaining a complete picture of local processes still poses a significant challenge in battery research. Here we demonstrate an in-situ combination of multimodal neutron imaging with neutron diffraction for spatially resolved operando…
Ptychography is an imaging technique which involves a sample being illuminated by a coherent, localized probe of illumination. When the probe interacts with the sample, the light is diffracted and a diffraction pattern is detected. Then the…

Aberration-corrected optics have made electron microscopy at atomic-resolution a widespread and often essential tool for nanocharacterization. Image resolution is dominated by beam energy and the numerical aperture of the lens ({\alpha}),…
A cluster imaging technique for Transmission Electron Microscopy with a direct detection CMOS pixel sensor is presented. Charge centre-of-gravity reconstruction for individual electron clusters improves the spatial resolution and thus the…
