Accessing the interface properties with photoemission electron microscopy Photoemission electron microscopes (PEEMs) are incredibly versatile tools for investigating the chemical and physical properties of surfaces. Thanks to their electron lens system, they can capture both spatial and angular information of the photoemitted electrons. This feature ma ...more |

High-resolution electron energy-loss spectroscopy: how recent advances have now truly put a “synchrotron in the microscope” At the dawn of the aberration-correction era, Prof. L. Mick Brown encouraged the microscopy community in now a seminal lecture to embrace and adopt widely this new technology, which promised, in his words, to place a “synchrotron in the microscope”. Although perhaps merely as ...more |

The Role of Surface/Interface Phenomena in The Antibacterial Action of Nano- and Microscale Zinc Oxide, Gallium Oxide, and Gallium Hydroxide. Worldwide trend of increasing antibiotic resistance has spun interest in alternative antibacterial agents such as metal oxide particles. Whereas the antibacterial action of many such oxides is well established, the mechanism of this activity is largely unknown. Cytotoxicity could ...more |

Nonlocal electronic correlations at the two-particle level Susceptibilities and optical conductivity are examples of two-particle response functions that are the key quantities for connecting theoretical predictions for corelated materials with experimental results. It can however become highly nontrivial to calculate them, especially in ...more |
