Workshop on Novel Developments and Detectors for Nano-imaging and Nano-analysis

On 09-10 October 2023, the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology will organized a workshop in Belval as part of the fit4nano COST action, WG1-Tool Development, dedicated to novel instrumentation and methodologies developments for nano-imaging and nano-analysis.

While this workshop will cover all aspects of instrument development related to focused ion beams, a major focus will be on advanced charged particle detectors with better sensitivity, higher spatial resolution, higher dynamic range, longer lifetime, lower cost, etc., for advanced nano-analytical instruments.

Topics

• Novel instrumentation and methodology for focused ion beam technology in the field of nano-imaging and nano-analysis
  • Novel ion source concepts and technology
  • Ion optical designs
  • Novel spectrometers
• State-of-the-art detectors for ion/electron beam analytical instruments

Organizers

• Dr. Hung Hoang, Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology
• Dr. Tom Wirtz, Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology
• Dr. Gregor Hlawacek, chair of the COST Action FIT4NANO

Invited speakers

• Dr. Pasqual Bernhard, Surface Concept GmbH
• Prof. Ron Heeren, Maastricht MultiModal Molecular Imaging Institute – M4I, Maastricht University
• Prof. Anjam Khursheed, Polytechnic University of Milan
• Dr. Serge Duarte Pinto, Photonis
• Dr. Julian Schmehr, X-spectrum GmbH
