Ilke Arslan is a Turkish American microscopist who is Director of the Center for Nanoscale Materials and the Nanoscience and Technology division at Argonne National Laboratory. She was awarded the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers in 2009 and appointed to the Oppenheimer Science and Energy Leadership Program in 2019.
Arslan was an undergraduate student at the University of Illinois Chicago, with a major in physics and a minor in Spanish. [1] [2] She spent several months of her undergraduate study studying in Spain. [3] Arslan holds a doctorate in physics from the University of California, Davis. [4] She worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Cambridge. Arslan was supported by the Royal Society and the National Science Foundation. She eventually moved to the Sandia National Laboratories, where she worked as a Truman Fellow. Her work considered nano materials for energy and hydrogen storage. [4] She worked on electron tomography, which she believed could help elucidate structure-property-activity relationships. [4] [5]
In 2008, Arslan joined the faculty at the University of California, Davis. [6] After meeting Barack Obama at the ceremony for the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers in 2010, she became increasingly interested in big science that could only be performed at National Laboratories. [1] She was appointed a senior scientist at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in 2011, where she investigated the morphological changes that occur when zeolites are used in Fischer–Tropsch processes. [7] In particular, she explored how the distribution of cobalt changes as materials are reduced. She showed that some cobalt can move several nanometers onto the outside of the alumina support. [7]
In 2017, Arslan joined the Argonne National Laboratory. [8] Her first job involved working as a group leader in electron microscopy, with a particular focus on 3D in situ imaging. [9] She was made Director of the Center for Nanoscale Materials in 2020. [1]
Argonne National Laboratory is a federally funded research and development center in Lemont, Illinois, United States. Founded in 1946, the laboratory is owned by the United States Department of Energy and administered by UChicago Argonne LLC of the University of Chicago. The facility is the largest national laboratory in the Midwest.
The Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences is the first of the five Nanoscale Science Research Centers sponsored by the United States Department of Energy. It is located in Oak Ridge, Tennessee and is a collaborative research facility for the synthesis, characterization, theory/ modeling/ simulation, and design of nanoscale materials. It is co-located with Spallation Neutron Source.
The National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) in Upton, New York is a national user research facility funded primarily by the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Science. NSLS-II is one of the world's most advanced synchrotron light sources, designed to produce x-rays 10,000 times brighter than BNL's original light source, the National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS). NSLS-II supports basic and applied research in energy security, advanced materials synthesis and manufacturing, environment, and human health.
Thermal scanning probe lithography (t-SPL) is a form of scanning probe lithography (SPL) whereby material is structured on the nanoscale using scanning probes, primarily through the application of thermal energy.
In situ electron microscopy is an investigatory technique where an electron microscope is used to watch a sample's response to a stimulus in real time. Due to the nature of the high-energy beam of electrons used to image a sample in an electron microscope, microscopists have long observed that specimens are routinely changed or damaged by the electron beam. Starting in the 1960s, and using transmission electron microscopes (TEMs), scientists made deliberate attempts to modify materials while the sample was in the specimen chamber, and to capture images through time of the induced damages.
Liquid-phase electron microscopy refers to a class of methods for imaging specimens in liquid with nanometer spatial resolution using electron microscopy. LP-EM overcomes the key limitation of electron microscopy: since the electron optics requires a high vacuum, the sample must be stable in a vacuum environment. Many types of specimens relevant to biology, materials science, chemistry, geology, and physics, however, change their properties when placed in a vacuum.
