Forschungszentrum Jülich - Physics of Nanoscale Systems (ER-C-1) & Microstructure Research (PGI-5)

Development of new procedures for understanding material properties on the atomic level with a special focus on ultrahigh resolution electron microscopy techniques. In the near future, the life sciences will be added as the first new field of application. Furthermore, we enable researchers from science and industry to use our instruments and methods, supported by our experts, and aim to establish a national user facility for the scientific community.

ERC Synergy Grant: 12 million euros for research into "magic" 3D nanostructures

Jülich / Brussels, 11 October 2019 - The physicists Prof. Rafal Dunin-Borkowski and Prof. Stefan Blügel from Forschungszentrum Jülich have successfully obtained a Synergy Grant from the European Research Council (ERC). In the "3D MAGiC" project, together with partners from Mainz and Nijmegen, they will explore still largely-unknown nanoscale 3D magnetic structures. The grant is awarded for groundbreaking projects which, due to their complexity, can only be carried out by a team.

moreSTEM - Momentum-resolved Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy

In this imaging mode diffraction patterns are recorded at each raster position of a scanning electron beam in an electron microscope. The result is a unique multidimensional data set that allows for the simultaneous evaluation and combination of real- and momentum space information. Find out more on our site:
