Three-dimensional electron tomography is used to understand the structure and properties of samples in chemistry, materials science, geoscience, and biology. With the recent development of high-resolution detectors and algorithms that can…
Conventional tomographic reconstruction algorithms assume that one has obtained pure projection images, involving no within-specimen diffraction effects nor multiple scattering. Advances in x-ray nanotomography are leading towards the…
We propose a method to reconstruct the 3-D molecular structure from micrographs collected at just one sample tilt angle in the random conical tilt scheme in cryo-electron microscopy. Our method uses autocorrelation analysis on the…
The non-destructive characterization of nanoscale devices, such as those based on semiconductor nanowires, in terms of functional potentials is crucial for correlating device properties with their morphological/materials features, as well…
Bimetallic nanoparticles are widely studied, for example in catalysis. However, possible restructuring in the environment of use, such as segregation or alloying, may occur. Taken individually, state-of-the-art analytical tools fail to give…
Phase retrieval, the problem of recovering lost phase information from measured intensity alone, is an inverse problem that is widely faced in various imaging modalities ranging from astronomy to nanoscale imaging. The current process of…
Spatial confinement of matter in functional nanostructures has propelled these systems to the forefront of nanoscience, both as a playground for exotic physics and quantum phenomena and in multiple applications including plasmonics,…

The emerging optical multiplexing within nanoscale shows super-capacity in encoding information by using the time-domain fingerprints from uniform nanoparticles. However, the optical diffraction limit compromises the decoding throughput and…
Single-shot X-ray imaging of short-lived nanostructures such as clusters and nanoparticles near a phase transition or non-crystalizing objects such as large proteins and viruses is currently the most elegant method for characterizing their…
Motivated by the need for less destructive imaging of nanostructures, we pursue point-source in-line holography (also known as point projection microscopy, or PPM) with very low energy electrons (-100 eV). This technique exploits the recent…
Ptychography is a computational method of microscopy that recovers high-resolution transmission images of samples from a series of diffraction patterns. While conventional phase retrieval algorithms can iteratively recover the images, they…
Ptychography is a scanning coherent diffractive imaging technique that enables imaging nanometer-scale features in extended samples. One main challenge is that widely used iterative image reconstruction methods often require significant…
By using phase retrieval, Bragg Coherent Diffractive Imaging (BCDI) allows tracking of three-dimensional displacement fields inside individual nanocrystals. Nevertheless, in the presence of significant (1% and higher) strains, such as in…
