DESCRIPTION:Dr. Berit H. Goodge \n\nMax Planck Institute for Chemical Ph
 ysics of Solids\, Germany\nAbstract:  \nThe rich properties of strongly 
 correlated – or often so-called quantum – materials derive from comple
 x interplay between atomic lattice\, charge\, spin\, and orbital interacti
 ons. The scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) provides access 
 to all of these order parameters down to the atomic scale across a range o
 f sample geometries. Extending local and precise structural and electronic
  measurements to condensed matter systems therefore promises a powerful me
 thod to disentangle the effects of competing interactions\, particularly a
 t or near phases and phase boundaries which are characterized by nanoscale
  inhomogeneity\, in carefully engineered atomic-scale heterostructures\, o
 r in nascent materials families. Importantly\, these techniques are largel
 y materials-agnostic\, and can be applied across a wide range of systems. 
 Here I will illustrate how quantitative atomic-scale insights and advanced
  STEM techniques provide foundational insights and guide materials design 
 in the two families of novel superconducting nickelates [1-6]. I will also
  highlight how recent and ongoing advances in STEM instrumentation continu
 e to increase the accessible phase space for advanced characterization\, o
 pening the door to extending these detailed investigations to low temperat
 ure and other in situ conditions [7-9]. \n
