WOTWISI-5: 5th Workshop On TEM With In Situ Irradiation
The 5th Workshop On TEM With In Situ Irradiation (WOTWISI-5)
University of Huddersfield - 11th to 13th April 2018
Room OA5.5, The Oastler Building
Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) with in situ irradiation using ions and/or electrons is a powerful technique allowing the direct observation of the dynamic microstructural evolution of radiation damage. There are currently around 13 facilities globally which offer TEM with in situ ion irradiation plus two with in situ focused ion beam (FIB) milling and a small number of high-voltage TEMs. Furthermore, at least two new TEMs with in situ ion irradiation are currently under construction in the USA and China. The WOTWISI series brings together the users and operators of these facilities to share the latest scientific results and techniques in this highly specialised field.
Abstracts are invited on the application of TEM with in situ irradiation in fields including nuclear energy, nanostructures, semiconductors and materials in extraterrestrial environments. We also welcome technical talks on the design and construction of these facilities and their combination with other complementary in situ environments and characterisation techniques.
The University of Huddersfield is home to the Microscopes and Ion Accelerators for Materials Investigations (MIAMI) facilities including MIAMI-1 which was launched at the first WOTWISI event in June 2008. A state-of-the-art new facility, MIAMI-2, has now been constructed which significantly enhances and expands the experimental possibilities at Huddersfield making the University the ideal venue for the return of WOTWISI to the UK for its 5th event.

Previous WOTWISI Events
The first Workshop On TEM With In Situ Irradiation (then titled Workshop on the Use of in situ TEM / Ion Accelerator Techniques in the Study of Radiation) was held at the University of Salford in the United Kingdom in 2008. It was supported with funding from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EP/F012853/1) and aimed to build a network of those working in this highly specialised field through which they could share their knowledge, experience and latest research. There was also a particular emphasis on encouraging early stage researchers to attend so that they could benefit by developing contacts in the community to support the development of their expertise and careers.
Now heading to towards its fifth event, the network conceived at the first meeting is continuing to grow and still has at its heart an ethos of supporting early stage researchers in the field of transmission electron microscopy with in situ irradiation.

Getting to Huddersfield
Huddersfield is located in West Yorkshire in the foothills of the Pennines and just north of the Peak District National Park. Halfway between Manchester and Leeds, it is well serviced by road and rail links making it within easy reach of several international airports. If you prefer to fly to London, the train journey from either Kings Cross or Euston to Huddersfield will take between two and a half to three hours. The Huddersfield Narrow Canal also runs through the University campus but, with transit times by barge from downtown Manchester of four days or more, this mode of transport is not recommended for those on tight schedules.
