abstract = {The world of nanoscale objects and dimensions – which
until recently had largely been a subject of merely
scientific interest – is poised to revolutionise
technology at a breathtaking pace and will even affect our
everyday life in many respects. The development of faster
and more powerful computers is based on progress in
semiconductor nanotechnology, also incorporating
optoelectronics. The simultaneous evolution of magnetic data
storage technology is driven by progress in nanomagnetism.
The exploitation of novel quantum effects in many fields is
tied to the creation of nanoscale objects and structures. On
the other hand, nanostructured surfaces also exhibit
particular mechanical and adhesive properties, exemplified
by the “lotus effect”, which is now employed to create
stain-free and selfcleaning surfaces and surface coatings.
It is obvious that not only the creation of nanoscale
structures, but particularly their characterisation and
visualisation are essential ingredients in design and
development leading to the fabrication of yet smaller
structures and a refined understanding of their unique
properties. Real progress in nanoscience is hence closely
associated with the development of new techniques in
experimental analysis to address problems on the nanoscale
– and, indeed, dramatic improvements in the capabilities
of experimental methods involving the interaction of
electrons, neutrons and synchrotron radiation with the solid
state have been witnessed in recent years. This is partly
due to substantial advances in the performance of beam and
radiation sources as well as instrumental components such as
monochromators, imaging lenses, polarisers, detectors, and
spectrometers, all at roughly the same time. Equally
important, however, has been the outstanding progress made
in the development of new innovative analysis concepts
together with the concomitant numerical methods, which allow
direct benefits to be derived from advanced instrumentation.
As a result, there are more and more areas of solid-state
research where state-of-the-art analysis techniques, such as
aberration-corrected electron microscopy, high-energy or
resonant synchrotron x-ray scattering, neutron scattering
with spherical polarisation analysis or with
nanoelectronvolt energy resolution, as well as
high-resolution electron spectroscopy and spectromicroscopy,
are seen to permit macroscopic material properties to be
epistemologically designed from microscopic observations.
Hence, this basic approach is becoming increasingly
important in identifying material imperfections and
designing new materials with fascinating and also beneficial
properties. All of the above probing techniques –
irrespective of whether they use electrons, neutrons or
synchrotron radiation – are now essential tools for
exploring the nanoworld of complex materials in both bulk
and reduced dimensions. Therefore, this is also the ideal
time to outline when, how, and why appropriate techniques
should be used for specific problems to gain deeper
scientific insights into condensed matter phenomena as well
as to optimise processing steps in solid-state technology.
Accordingly, the 38th IFF Spring School entitled Probing the
Nanoworld – Microscopies, Scattering and Spectroscopies of
the Solid State organised by the Institute of Solid-State
Research (IFF) of Research Centre Jülich focuses on both
essential fundamentals and the latest developments in
probing the solid state by the application of advanced
microscopy, scattering and spectroscopy techniques. A
variety of contributions address cutting-edge aspects of
experimental analysis techniques in conjunction with
applications related to materials science. Introductory
contributions focus on the structural and electronic
properties of the solid state in both bulk and reduced
dimensions, and, thus form the basis for understanding
primary techniques and major methodological concepts.
Supplementary contributions address basic excitation
mechanisms and the interaction of radiation with matter.
