Flash Scanning Electron Microscopy

Pascal Fua, Graham Knott, Marco Cantoni, Raphael Sznitman, Aurélien Lucchi

Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) is an invaluable tool for biologists and neuroscientists to study brain structure at the intra- cellular level. While able to image tissue samples with up to 5nm isotropic resolution, image acquisition is prohibitively sl ...

Advances in 3D focused ion beam tomography

Marco Cantoni

This article summarizes recent technological improvements of focused ion beam tomography. New in-lens (in-column) detectors have a higher sensitivity for low energy electrons. In combination with energy filtering, this leads to better results for phase seg ...

Composition and Pressure Effects on Partitioning of Ferrous Iron in Iron-Rich Lower Mantle Heterogeneities

Marco Cantoni, Philippe Gillet, James Badro, Farhang Nabiei, Susannah McGregor Dorfman, Charles-Edouard Boukaré

Both seismic observations of dense low shear velocity regions and models of magma ocean crystallization and mantle dynamics support enrichment of iron in Earth’s lowermost mantle. Physical properties of iron-rich lower mantle heterogeneities in the modern ...

Spin and valence dependence of iron partitioning in Earth's deep mantle

Philippe Gillet, Cécile Hébert, Marco Cantoni, James Badro, Farhang Nabiei, Hélène Marie Piet, Teresa Katharina Dennenwaldt

We performed laser-heated diamond anvil cell experiments combined with state-of-the-art electron microanalysis (focused ion beam and aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy) to study the distribution and valence of iron in Earth's lower mantl ...

Melting of a skyrmion lattice to a skyrmion liquid via a hexatic phase

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Arnaud Magrez, Fabrizio Carbone, Marco Cantoni, Ping Huang, Thomas Schönenberger

While in 3D materials melting is a single, first-order phase transition, in 2D systems, it can also proceed via an intermediate phase. For a skyrmion lattice in Cu2OSeO3, magnetic field variations can tune this quasiparticle 2D solid into a skyrmion liquid ...

Fracture toughness testing of nanocrystalline alumina and fused quartz using chevron-notched microbeams

Andreas Mortensen, Marco Cantoni, Martin Guillermo Mueller, Goran Zagar, Václav Pejchal

We show that chevron-notched samples offer an attractive approach to the measurement of fracture toughness in micron-scale samples of brittle materials and use the method to characterize quartz and nanocrystalline alumina. Focused ion beam milling is used ...

A large planetary body inferred from diamond inclusions in a ureilite meteorite

Cécile Hébert, Emad Oveisi, Marco Cantoni, Philippe Gillet, James Badro, Farhang Nabiei, Teresa Katharina Dennenwaldt

Planetary formation models show that terrestrial planets are formed by the accretion of tens of Moon-to Mars-sized planetary embryos through energetic giant impacts. However, relics of these large proto-planets are yet to be found. Ureilites are one of the ...
