Winning Image
Colorized scanning electron micrograph of a mesmerizingly well-ordered array of vertical semiconductor nanowires grown by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy from a pattern of catalytic gold nanoparticles defined by electron beam lithography
By Gustav Nylund from Solid State Physics
Second Prize
"Sprout" - Cu(111) oxidation under temperature ramp condition
By Chu Zhang from Synchrotron Radiation Research
Third Prize
SEM image (blue colourscale) of an individual, 350 nm long rice-shaped Ag nanoparticle, overlaid by a multiphoton photoemission electron microscopy image (red colourscale) of the same particle. The PEEM image directly shows how, and most importantly where, the rice-shaped nanoantenna enhances the incident laser field.
