Project description
This project aims to develop a new single-shot ultrafast transmission electron microscope (TEM) technique combining compressed sensing with dynamic TEM. This instrument will have the unique capability to follow irreversible dynamics by first acquired an encoded snapshot and then by reconstructing the movie of the event.
The research tasks mainly include (1) design of the system and simulation of imaging model, (2) fabrication, test, and optimization of the new instrumentation, and (3) application of this system to study irreversible dynamics, such as ultrafast laser-induced phase transitions, carrier dynamics in quantum materials, and chemical reactions. This interdisciplinary project provides a great opportunity to learn advanced knowledge and technical know-how of electron microscopy, computational imaging, ultrafast laser optics, and quantum materials. These studies will also offer a cutting-edge industrial perspective and many highly marketable skills.
