Flash Melting Amorphous Ice: Electron Diffraction of Water in No Man's Land and Methods for Time-Resolved cryo-EM

The origins of the anomalous behavior of water are believed to lie in the deeply supercooled regime, where rapid crystallization has prevented further investigation, giving it the name no man's land.' This thesis uses a modified electron microscope to stud ...

Reconstruction of Angstrom resolution exit-waves by the application of drift-corrected phase-shifting off-axis electron holography

Thierry Meyer, Victor Carle Adrien Boureau

Phase-shifting electron holography is an excellent method to reveal electron wave phase information with very high phase sensitivity over a large range of spatial frequencies. It circumvents the limiting trade-off between fringe spacing and visibility of s ...

Anomalous Hall effect and magnetic structure of the topological semimetal (Mn0.78Fe0.22)3Ge

Jian Rui Soh, Jan Persson

Me3+8Ge, being a Weyl semimetal, shows a large anomalous Hall effect (AHE), which decreases slowly with an increase in 8 from 0.1 to 0.4. However, AHE in this compound remains significantly large in the whole range of 8 because of the robust nature of the ...
