Shao Electron Microscopy Lab has identified a way to see the hidden three-dimensional organization of ferroelectric materials at nanometer resolution across a full wafer.
You might not think that the electric polarization structure of ferroelectric materials directly concerns you.
But if you’re looking to boost the memory of your smartphone, the sound quality of your earbuds, or the energy-efficiency of your washing machine… Then you already have a stake in the work of Shao Electron Microscopy Lab.
Housed within the USC Core Center of Excellence in Nano Imaging, a research center jointly supported by USC Viterbi and USC Dornsife, the lab develops and applies novel electron microscopy techniques to understand materials and devices at the atomic scale.
A metrology gap in emerging electronics
