Multi -beam Ultra-high Voltage Electron Microscope and Materials Research
Multi-beam science and engineering applications
At the High-Voltage Electron Microscope (HVEM) Laboratory of Hokkaido University, the world’s first multi -quantum beam HVEM has been developed. It enables in-situ observation of microstructural changes on an atomic scale using multi-quantum beam irradiation.
Research
The world’s first multi-quantum beam HVEM (left)
In 2014, we added an optical system that allows the use of multiple lasers, and developed a multi-quantum beam HVEM that allows in-situ observation at the atomic level under irradiation by multi-quantum beams, including ion, laser and electron beams. We are currently developing an in-situ spectroscopy system.
Nanocrystal growth by UV irradiation (right)
We have succeeded in growing ZnO nanocrystals by irradiating submerged plasma-treated Zn with UV light. We are now promoting research on the growth mechanism and its application.
