In the field of electron microscopy electrons are used to visualize and analyze the structure, morphology and composition of a sample at an atomic level achieving a resolution up to 50 pm. Usually, either with a "parallel" electron beam or scanned with an electron probe an atomic-level understanding of structures, properties and fundamental mechanisms in structural, functional and electronic materials can be gained.

Ion beams have been for the past decades used routinely to modify and study the structure and properties of metals, insulators and semiconductors. Making use of different ion-target interactions, either by nuclear collisions or electronic excitations, ion beams are used to introduce dopants and defects, create nano-patterns, grow layered structures, and conduct degradation studies.

Muons are short-lived heavy versions of the electron. Fully spin-polarised muons are implanted into materials where they sense the local magnetic fields and the polarisation of the muon ensemble responds to these. This makes muons extremely sensitive to magnetism and superconductivity effects. They can also be used to study ionic diffusion, e.g. in battery materials, and can be used as mimics of isolated hydrogen to investigate hydrogen behaviour in materials.

Neutron diffraction reveals structural information on the arrangement of atoms and magnetic moments in condensed matter. Single-crystal diffraction provides the most precise and detailed information but requires crystal samples of suitable quality and size. Otherwise samples exist in a form in which some of the structural information is spatially averaged and the corresponding experimental technique generically referred to as ‘powder diffraction’.

It explores the meso-structures of liquids and solids on length scales ranging from 1 nanometer to about a micron. Scattering properties of isotopes with neutrons can differ vastly, which allows to turn specific parts of the sample visible or invisible.

Through the analysis of the XRD data, one can retrieve the different phase(s) in the sample from the peaks position, while the intensities of the peaks provide information about the quantity of each crystalline phase present in the sample. Finally, the analysis of the peak broadening provides insights into the crystallite size and micro-strain in the crystal.
