RESEARCH INTERESTS

Associate Professor Etheridge’s research is in the theory of electron microscopy and diffraction and its application to the study of the atomic structure and defect structure of materials. Her research includes:

• The development of diffraction and imaging techniques which provide structural information with ultrahigh spatial resolution.
• The development of methods for the determination of the atomic structures of crystals that overcome the “phase problem” in crystallography.
• The application of electron microscopy to the determination of the local atomic structure of high temperature superconductors, ferroelectrics and related perovskites, with a view to understanding their macroscopic properties.
