TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss several state-of-the-art nanoscale characterization techniques including scanning transmission electron microscopy cathodoluminescence (STEM-CL), tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS), micro-photoluminecence (µPL), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM/STS), and apply and combine these techniques to obtain detailed information on nm-scale properties of nitride based micro-columns, quantum wires, and heterostruct

TL;DR: The German joint research project "Chemical Gradients in Cu(In,Ga)(S,Se)2" (GRACIS) is an initiative to gain a better physical understanding concerning the formation of chemical gradients in the CIGS absorber layers and at the buffer interface as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, a self-aligned single electron transistor (SET) structure using cathodoluminescence (CL) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is reported.

TL;DR: In this article, a blue light-emitting quantum wires are fabricated by molecular beam epitaxy of ZnCdSe/ZnSe on patterned GaAs substrates.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented an extended abstract of a paper presented at Microscopy and Microanalysis 2012 in Phoenix, Arizona, USA, July 29 - August 2, 2012.
