Thermal properties have an outsized impact on efficiency and sensitivity of devices with
nanoscale structures, such as in integrated electronic circuits. A number of thermal …

In this chapter, organized along four main axes, we will shortly introduce the basics
knowledge of electron spectroscopy for nano-optics required to understand this volume …

In this paper we describe the technical implementation of pump-probe
cathodoluminescence microscopy (PP-CL), a novel technique for studying ultrafast …

Coupling is at the heart of plasmonics and its applications as it is one of the building blocks
of nano-photonics engineering. Moreover, the interaction between surface plasmon …

A simple structure was designed to investigate whether cathodoluminescence could be
used for tomography. The structure consisted of a rectangular hole, with an overhanging tip …

All the materials we are studying in this work are semi-conductors. Although not a
requirement, it of course defines the electronic behaviour of the materials. Especially in EUV …
