New Equipment on Board - Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)

A new Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), equipped with Oxford EDX System, is now located at Concrete Materials Laboratory (ZB109). This tungsten thermionic emission SEM system is suitable for low- and high-vacuum operations. A high spatial resolution with secondary electron (SE) and backscatter (BSE) detector allows the observation with fine surface details, whilst the EDX detector provides elemental and chemical analysis. The SEM is designed for comprehensive materials characterization down to nanoscale. This instrument is best suited to imaging and analysis of coated samples that are stable under the electron beam, e.g. concrete, rocks, metals and alloys.    Specifications / Applications: An extra-large analytical chamber with a full 5-axis motorized stage Detector: SE, BSE, EDX Imaging up to 100,000X Accelerating voltage: 200V to 30 kV 5 Electron Optics Working Modes: Resolution, Depth, Field, Wide Field, Channeling Rotation: 360°continuous / Tilt: -30° to +90° IR TV Camera for the “Chamber View”

CEE Scholar Awarded Excellent Young Scientists Fund

Dr Chao Zhou has been awarded the 2020 Excellent Young Scientists Fund (Hong Kong and Macau) by the National Natural Science Foundation of China for his project entitled “Unsaturated Soils and Problematic Soils”. This project aims to improve the fundamental understanding and modelling capability of the behavior of unsaturated loess and other structured soils subjected to cyclic traffic and environmental loads. The results will help engineers to improve the design of pavement and railway embankment. The Excellent Young Scientists Fund supports young scholars (male below the age of 38 and female below 40) with good achievements in basic research to conduct innovative research in areas of their own choice, so as to promote fast growth of creative young talents and foster a number of outstanding talents on the international science frontiers. Since its launch in 2019, 25 young scientists from Hong Kong and Macau have been supported each year.
