The Eva Olsson research division is involved in the design and tailoring of materials to enable new sustainable solutions for energy harvesting, energy storage, energy consumption, catalysis, quantum technology and the use of soft matter in applications such as coatings for controlled drug release and solar cells. The function of the materials depends on the atomic structure where individual atoms play a role and also their exact position. We are using high spatial resolution imaging, spectroscopy and in situ techniques to quantitatively study the material structure (including techniques with high spatial precision in determining the position of atoms (1 pm), high energy resolution to determine electronic structure and high spatial precision in situ for electrical, mechanical, optical and thermal manipulation) and correlate the structure to properties.

RECENT NEWS & EVENTS
May 8-9th, 2023: The Eva Olsson Group is organising a European workshop on Advanced electron microscopy of ICT and quantum device material structures. Go to our Workshops page for more information.
January 10-12th, 2023: This week Lunjie and Rebecka have undergone training on the new Stream In Situ Liquid and Biasing holder from DENS Solutions. We hope to see some interesting results from liquid TEM experiments within the Eva Olsson Group in the near future. December 20th, 2022: We continue our annual tradition of getting into the holiday spirit by decorating a Christmas tree together. November 22nd, 2022: We wish to congratulate Pierre Carmona on his excellent dissertation and successful thesis defense titled “Structure evolution of phase-separated EC/HPC films for controlled drug release”. You can find the thesis here. November 15th, 2022: Congratulations to Jonatan Holmér for his licentiate thesis and seminar titled “In situ electron microscopy of strain-induced effects on electrical and photovoltaic properties of GaAs nanowires – site specific and quantitative studies”. You can read the thesis here. October 20th, 2022: The SOFT Microscopy Network traveled to Lund for a visit to MAX IV and Tetra Pak. The day started with a general introduction to the synchrotron radiation facility followed by a presentation of the capabilities of the ForMAX beamline for soft materials. After a tour of around MAX IV the meeting continued at Tetra Pak Packaging Solutions with a presentation and tour around the facilities. |
