Electric field observation at atomic scale by electron microscope

A new and revolutionary technology is presented that is capable of observing “electric fields” at atomic scale by use of the electron microscope. This is the world’s first observing technology using the electron microscope.

The new observing technology will strongly assist the development of new materials particularly for energy devices, such as catalyst materials to be used by batteries and fuel cells. The observing technology is featured by a quartered detector of the scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) and a new and creative analyzing method for analyzing the data output from the detector.
