  1. Acquisition of an Aberration Corrected Analytical Electron Microscope for Nanocharacterization of Materials C.J.Kiely, C.E.Lyman, D.B.Williams, K.I.Winey* and M.Watanabe Lehigh University and * University of PennsylvaniaDMR-MRI Award # 0320906 This Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) award has allowed us to equip our 300kV HB603 Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope (STEM) with a Nion aberration corrector that significantly improves its imaging and spectroscopic capabilities.

This has been achieved by adding a Nion aberration corrector to our HB 603 STEM which reduces the minimum attainable electron probe size from 1.5 to 0.5nm. Below are some recent materials science applications of this instrument. Microscopy. & Microanalysis (2006), in press. Journal of Materials Science (2006), 41, 4512 Science, (2006), 311, 362
