Short Range Order and the Evolution of Deformation Mechanisms in Both High and Low Entropy Alloys: Nano Seminar series

4 LeConte Hall

Prof. Andrew M. Minor, UC Berkeley, Materials Science & Engineering This talk will describe our recent results utilizing energy filtered diffraction, 4D-STEM and in situ TEM nanomechanical testing that provide insight into multiscale deformation phenomena in α-titanium and the CrCoNi medium entropy alloy. Using energy-filtered TEM and HRSTEM techniques it is possible to directly image,…

Imaging, Understanding, and Controlling Nanoscale Materials Transformations: Nano Seminar series

4 LeConte Hall

Prof. Haimei Zheng, LBNL, Materials Science Division An understanding of nanoscale materials transformations is significant for the synthesis and applications of nanostructured materials. At the atomic level, heterogeneity and fluctuations may play a governing role in the transformation processes. The recent development of high-resolution liquid cell transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has enabled breakthroughs in our…

The Fab on the Beam: From Learning Physics to Automated Experiments in Electron Microscopy: Nano Seminar series

4 LeConte Hall

Dr. Sergei V. Kalinin, ORNL, Center for Nanophase Material Sciences Machine learning and artificial intelligence (ML/AI) are rapidly becoming an indispensable part of physics research, with domain applications ranging from theory and materials prediction to high-throughput data analysis. However, the constantly emerging question is how to match the correlative nature of classical ML with hypothesis-driven…

Magnetic Particle Imaging: Monitoring CAR-T cell therapies as they home and kill tumors using safe superferromagnetic nanoparticle tracers (and more!): Nano Seminar series

4 LeConte Hall

Prof. Steve Conolly, UC Berkeley, BioE & EECS Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI) is an emerging noninvasive biomedical imaging modality that shows great promise for vascular and cellular imaging. MPI uses different physics from all conventional imaging modalities. MPI offers ideal ``positive’’ tracer contrast, because human tissues produce zero MPI signal and tissue is magnetically transparent.…
