Mission
Statement
The
research
programme
concentrates
on
experimental
and
theoretical
work
of
the
characterization
of
inter-
and
intraphase
structures
so
as
to
draw
conclusions
about
the
correlation
between
electronic
charge
transfer,
bonding
behavior
and
mechanical
properties.
The
main
experimental
tools
to
unravel
the
microstructural
features
are
ultra
high
resolution
transmission
electron
microscopy,
local
probe
microscopy
(AFM/STM/FIM),
UHV-scanning
electron/scanning
Auger
microscopy,
environmental
and
high
resolution
low-voltage
scanning
electron
microscopy.
The
emphasis
of
our
research
in
the
field
of
advanced
techniques
of
microscopy
lies
on
dynamic
studies
rather
than
static
observation
keeping
in
mind
the
rather
non-linear,
collective
and
non-equilibrium
behavior
of
these
defects.
Structural
aspects
and
properties
of
intra-
and
interphase
boundaries
are
considered
on
different
length
scales
ranging
between
sub-nanometer
scale
to
100
m
m
scale
produced
by
high
power
lasers
(CW-CO2
and
Nd-YAG).
The
curiosity
driven
FOM
projects
are
accompanied
by
mission-oriented
projects
sponsored
by
the
Netherlands
Institute
of
Metals
Research
(NIMR)
and
Innovative
Research
Programmes
on
metals
and
on
surface
engineering
(IOP).
