The various types of ET based on TEM as well as STEM were described in detail, which included bright-field(BF)-TEM tomography, dark-field(DF)-TEM tomography, weak-beam dark-field(WBDF)-TEM tomography, annular dark-field(ADF)-TEM tomography, energy-filtered transmission electron microscopy(EFTEM) tomography, high-angle annular dark-field(HAADF)-STEM tomography, ADF-STEM tomography, incoherent bright field(IBF)-STEM tomography, electron energy loss spectroscopy(EELS)-STEM tomography and X-ray energy dispersive spectrometry(XEDS)-STEM tomography, and so on. The optimized tilt series such as dual-axis tilt tomography, on-axis tilt tomography, conical tilt tomography and equally-sloped tomography(EST) were reported. The advanced reconstruction algorithms, such as discrete algebraic reconstruction technique(DART), compressed sensing(CS) algorithm and EST were overviewed. At last, the development tendency of ET in materials science was presented.展开更多

Challenges, such as the complexity of synthesis pathways and the lack of comprehensive datasets, currently hinder our ability to predict these chemical processes accurately. However, recent advancements in generative artificial intelligence(GAI), including automated text generation and question–answering systems, coupled with fine-tuning techniques, have facilitated the deployment of large-scale AI models tailored to specific domains. In this study, we harness the power of the LLaMA2-7B model and enhance it through a learning process that incorporates 13878 pieces of structured material knowledge data.This specialized AI model, named Mat Chat, focuses on predicting inorganic material synthesis pathways. Mat Chat exhibits remarkable proficiency in generating and reasoning with knowledge in materials science. Although Mat Chat requires further refinement to meet the diverse material design needs, this research undeniably highlights its impressive reasoning capabilities and innovative potential in materials science. Mat Chat is now accessible online and open for use, with both the model and its application framework available as open source. This study establishes a robust foundation for collaborative innovation in the integration of generative AI in materials science.展开更多
