Electronic structure orientation as a map of in-plane antiferroelectricity in β′-In2Se3

Polarization-dependent PEEM is a new way to image in-plane antiferroelectric domains on the nanoscale!

Nanoimaging of the Edge-Dependent Optical Polarization Anisotropy of Black Phosphorus

This study shows that black phosphorus has unique optical properties at its edges, which can be visualized with high-resolution photoemmission electron microscopy, offering new possibilities for its use in advanced photonics and electronics.
