Carbon Nano Material

Rahi Varsani, a student from The University of Western Australia (UWA) studying Nanotechnology, recently completed his Honours project at the Centre for Microscopy, Characterisation and Analysis (CMCA) investigating nanomaterials using electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) and energy-filtered transmission electron microscopy (EFTEM). The project was carried out under the supervision of Prof. Martin Saunders (CMCA) and in collaboration with the research group of Prof. Hui Tong Chua (Mechanical Engineering).

 

Part of his research included the 3D tomographic reconstruction of elemental distributions from a tilt-series of EFTEM element maps, which he used to characterise metal nanoparticles encased in carbon.
