Since the FE-SEM is in effect an electrical circuit, the specimen must be conductive. In the tungsten source SEM, any nonconductive specimen is coated with a very thin layer of conductive material in ...

Researchers have presented the possibility of unifying theories to explain the working mechanism of iron- based superconductors. Superconductors are a relatively new concept; they were brought to ...

Dr. Michael Rauscher, Senior Director of the ZEISS Microscopy Materials Science Division, speaks to AZoM about field emission scanning electron microscopy - what it is, how it has developed since its ...

A multi-institutional team has directly observed electron hopping in iron oxide particles, a phenomenon that holds huge significance for a broad range of environment- and energy-related applications.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – A delicate balance of electrons flowing through the photosynthetic machinery is essential to a plant’s ability to turn sunlight into energy and its survival. Understanding the ...
