Perspectives on ultra-high vacuum transmission electron microscopy of dynamic crystal growth phenomena by Reidy, Kate, Thomsen, Joachim Dahl, Ross, Frances M.

“…We then show examples of growth processes explored using UHV-TEM, where the high spatial and temporal resolution provides unique insights into nanocrystal nucleation, thin film microstructure evolution, and oxidation in controlled environments. We assess these past accomplishments in the context of recent advances in transmission electron microscopy, discussing how aberration correction, modified sample environments, fast and sensitive detectors, and data science are unlocking powerful opportunities for atomic and temporal resolution measurements using UHV-TEM. …”
