MS7 – Diffraction and 3D imaging at nanometer scale

Philippe Boullay
Stéphanie Kodjikian

Knowledge of the crystallographic structure of materials and complex biological systems is fundamental to understanding their properties and/or functions. Due to the size or inhomogeneity of samples, it is sometimes crucial to be able to work at the nanometric scale (nanocrystals, polyphase samples, nanodomains, thin films, etc.).

This micro-symposium focuses on structural studies at the nanometric scale using all diffraction or imaging techniques, regardless of the radiation used. It covers all fields, including materials science, physical systems and biological samples. Presentations on new developments in methods for structural determination or reconstruction at the nanoscale, such as ptychography, 3D electron diffraction, etc., are also strongly encouraged.
