Structural characterization of quantum dot superlattice by electron tomography

This study used the GrandARM to make a tomogram of a 3D quantum dot superlattice film. It’s state-of-the-art tomography using a full-tilt needle sample, with 0.65 nm resolution over a very large volume of 4.3 x 105 nm3. The full article can be found at J. Mater. Chem. A, 2020,8, 21339-21339  titled “Structural characterization of…Continue Reading Structural characterization of quantum dot superlattice by electron tomography
