Tuesday publication update! In this newest research written by @TomWelling, the #AtmosphereAX system was used to track carbon nanofiber growth from NiCu-catalyzed methane decomposition under true working conditions. By directly comparing real-time overall carbon growth rates in a reactor (measured gravimetrically) with nanometer-scale carbon growth observations (by electron microscopy), the ex-situ and in-situ results can … Read More
An additional Friday publication update! Lead halide perovskites (LHPs) are the future of optoelectronic devices, thanks to their unique physical properties. Yet, the synthesis of MAPI perovskites via ligand-assisted reprecipitation (LARP) has so far not been researched. In this groundbreaking study, advanced in-situ techniques were done with the #PoseidonAX and the #Atmosphere system to demystify … Read More

Friday publication update! In this recent publication, the role of metal vacancies was discovered in InGaN quantum wells, using the #Atmosphere system. Using focussed ion beam (FIB) preparation methods, a MOVPE nanoreactor was added to the #Gascell system and investigated for void formation, in situ. Metal vacancy agglomeration was a crucial part of the … Read More
Tuesday publication update! Phase change materials (PCMs) are promising candidates for thermal regulation of devices at high temperature. These authors have used the #Atmosphere System to develop a liquid-phase processing technique and design aluminum matrix nanocomposites made of phase change nanoparticles, using bismuth nanoparticles as a proof-of-concept. This process opens the way to a … Read More
Tuesday publication update! Have you ever wondered how the surface of gold particles behaves under atmospheric pressure with different gasses? Researchers from Paris recently published an article on atomic resolution size-dependent gold nanoparticles using the #Atmosphere System.
