Model Examples:

• Model 1: SBA-15 Mesoporous hard template for Pt Nanowire Synthesis:     
Typical example where tilt series can be used to determine the distribution of heavy metals on light materials. First time ever that TEM Tomography was applied on nanowire-like structures.

• Model 2: WO3 with KIT-6 Mesostructure for Semiconductor Gas Sensor Applications:      
BF TEM Tilt Series compared to HAADF STEM Tilt Series (3D Reconstruction included). In this case Tomography can be used to display a 3D complex structure and compare it with the Modelization


• Model 3: Au (2-3 nm) NP composite:      
HAADF or Z-Contrast STEM Tomography obtained at 400k (magnification) Z-STEM avoids diffraction contrast in crystalline materials, thus improving the final 3D reconstruction.


• Model 4: AlAs/GaAs Multi Quantum Well Nanowire:           
HAADF or Z-Contrast STEM Tomography Tilt Series and 3D Reconctruction Z-STEM avoids diffraction contrast in crystalline materials, thus improving the final 3D reconstruction


• Art @ Science: Because ART can also be found in Nanoworld:      
Comparison between Joan Miro's famous sculpture Dona i Ocell (1983) and a 3D nanostructure Nanodona i Ocell (2003) found by Prof. J. Arbiol.
