| Abstract Scope |
Functional ceramic materials have to be developed in an integrated fashion, where design, synthesis, characterization, modelling and behaviour in applications throughout their life cycles will be considered in a concerted manner. The aim of our present high resolution TEM activities is to provide quantitative materials data on the atomistic and nanometer scale that can be used for virtual materials design and to understand structure-property-relationships. In the present lecture, several examples from our recent work will be discussed which are related to processes which are of high societal relevance in energy materials and functional materials for future information technology. Our work aims at a comprehensive understanding of diffusional properties and resistive switching mechanism in oxide materials on the basis of the local structural and chemical information at atomistic level obtained by aberration corrected (scanning) transmission electron microscopy ((S)TEM). |
