SDM3: Microscopy of materials and nano-materials

This session covers a very broad spectrum of material science studies using electron, ion, photon and near field microscopy techniques. The variety of topics covered will allow the presentation of recent and original work dedicated to the morphological, microstructural, structural and chemical analysis of materials and nano-materials. This work will thus contribute to a better understanding of the growth mechanisms, mechanical behaviour and physical properties of various systems (metals, functional materials, minerals, oxides, semiconductors, organics, hybrids, etc.), particularly at small scales.

Keywords: morphology, nanostructure, defects, microstructure, composition.
