HR-TEM experiments.

Many of functional materials such as multiferroic oxides and shape memory alloys contain numerous interfaces and domains, playing key roles in their functions. Nevertheless, understanding of relations between the functions and properties of interfaces, including macroscopic morphologies, local atomic configurations, and electromagnetic states, still have been a big challenge due to difficulties in characterization of individual interfaces. In this joint research project, the aim will be to develop a new methodology to evaluate morphology, atomic structure, and electromagnetic properties of interfaces in functional materials by means of integrating electron microscopy techniques of Kyushu University and University of Antwerp.
