| Meeting Purpose: | ||
| Recent years have witnessed dramatic advances in the capabilities of electron microscopes to analyze the elemental composition of matter on the atomic scale. Sensitivity down to single atoms and mapping resolution of about 0.3 nm have been achieved using electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS). Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDXS) is not far behind. | ||
| The goal of the meeting will be to review this progress and to compare it with achievements in related techniques such as STM, AFM and atom probe imaging. Another goal will be to chart the optimum course towards routine elemental analysis able to analyze single atomic columns or even single atoms in both materials science and biology. | ||
| Meeting Format: | ||
| The format of the meeting will resemble the format adopted by the Tahoe and Leukerbad workshops on EELS held in 1990 and 1994, respectively. There will be invited and contributed talks and posters in mornings and evenings. Afternoon will be free for recreation and informal discussion. | ||
| Abstract Submission Deadline: | ||
| May 1, 1998 | ||
| Workshop Proceedings: | ||
| The papers presented at the workshop will be published in the journals Ultramicroscopy and Microscopy, Microanalysis, Microstructures. | ||
| Meeting Location: | ||
| Port Ludlow on the Olympic Peninsula, Washington State, USA. Port Ludlow is the Pacific North-West's premiere golf resort. It is situated directly on the shores of Puget Sound, some 30 minutes by ferry (or 1 hour by car) and a universe away from downtown Seattle. Beside golf, recreational facilities available at the resort or nearby include a sports club equipped with a heated swimming pool, sauna and exercise rooms, tennis, volleyball, sea kayaking, bicycling, and hiking. | ||
