Book Energy Filtering Transmission Electron Microscopy

Download or read book Energy Filtering Transmission Electron Microscopy written by Ludwig Reimer and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Energy-Filtering Transmission Electron Microscopy (EFTEM) presents a summary of the electron optics, the electron-specimen interactions, and the operation and contrast modes of this new field of analytical electron microscopy. The electron optics of filter lenses and the progress in the correction of aberrations are discussed in detail. An evaluation of our present knowledge of plasmon losses and inner-shell ionisations is of increasing interest for a quantitative application of EFTEM in materials and life sciences. This can be realized not only by filtering the elastically scattered electrons but mainly by imgaging and analyzing with inelastically scattered electrons at different energy losses up to 2000 eV. The strength of EFTEM is the combination of the modes EELS, ESI, ESD and REM.

Book Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy in the Electron Microscope

Download or read book Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy in the Electron Microscope written by R.F. Egerton and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 491 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: to the Second Edition Since the first (1986) edition of this book, the numbers of installations, researchers, and research publications devoted to electron energy-loss spec troscopy (EELS) in the electron microscope have continued to expand. There has been a trend towards intermediate accelerating voltages and field-emission sources, both favorable to energy-loss spectroscopy, and sev eral types of energy-filtering microscope are now available commercially. Data-acquisition hardware and software, based on personal computers, have become more convenient and user-friendly. Among university re searchers, much thought has been given to the interpretation and utilization of near-edge fine structure. Most importantly, there have been many practi cal applications of EELS. This may reflect an increased awareness of the potentialities of the technique, but in many cases it is the result of skill and persistence on the part of the experimenters, often graduate students. To take account of these developments, the book has been extensively revised (over a period of two years) and more than a third of it rewritten. I have made various minor changes to the figures and added about 80 new ones. Except for a few small changes, the notation is the same as in the first edition, with all equations in SI units.

Book Transmission Electron Microscopy

Download or read book Transmission Electron Microscopy written by C. Barry Carter and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-08-24 with total page 543 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text is a companion volume to Transmission Electron Microscopy: A Textbook for Materials Science by Williams and Carter. The aim is to extend the discussion of certain topics that are either rapidly changing at this time or that would benefit from more detailed discussion than space allowed in the primary text. World-renowned researchers have contributed chapters in their area of expertise, and the editors have carefully prepared these chapters to provide a uniform tone and treatment for this exciting material. The book features an unparalleled collection of color figures showcasing the quality and variety of chemical data that can be obtained from today’s instruments, as well as key pitfalls to avoid. As with the previous TEM text, each chapter contains two sets of questions, one for self assessment and a second more suitable for homework assignments. Throughout the book, the style follows that of Williams & Carter even when the subject matter becomes challenging—the aim is always to make the topic understandable by first-year graduate students and others who are working in the field of Materials Science Topics covered include sources, in-situ experiments, electron diffraction, Digital Micrograph, waves and holography, focal-series reconstruction and direct methods, STEM and tomography, energy-filtered TEM (EFTEM) imaging, and spectrum imaging. The range and depth of material makes this companion volume essential reading for the budding microscopist and a key reference for practicing researchers using these and related techniques.

Book Transmission Electron Microscopy

Download or read book Transmission Electron Microscopy written by Ludwig Reimer and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is to outline the physics of image formation, electron specimen interactions and image interpretation in transmission electron mic roscopy. The book evolved from lectures delivered at the University of Munster and is a revised version of the first part of my earlier book Elek tronenmikroskopische Untersuchungs- und Priiparationsmethoden, omitting the part which describes specimen-preparation methods. In the introductory chapter, the different types of electron microscope are compared, the various electron-specimen interactions and their applications are summarized and the most important aspects of high-resolution, analytical and high-voltage electron microscopy are discussed. The optics of electron lenses is discussed in Chapter 2 in order to bring out electron-lens properties that are important for an understanding of the function of an electron microscope. In Chapter 3, the wave optics of elec trons and the phase shifts by electrostatic and magnetic fields are introduced; Fresnel electron diffraction is treated using Huygens' principle. The recogni tion that the Fraunhofer-diffraction pattern is the Fourier transform of the wave amplitude behind a specimen is important because the influence of the imaging process on the contrast transfer of spatial frequencies can be described by introducing phase shifts and envelopes in the Fourier plane. In Chapter 4, the elements of an electron-optical column are described: the electron gun, the condenser and the imaging system. A thorough understanding of electron-specimen interactions is essential to explain image contrast.

Book Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy in the Electron Microscope

Download or read book Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy in the Electron Microscope written by R.F. Egerton and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-10-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within the last 30 years, electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) has become a standard analytical technique used in the transmission electron microscope to extract chemical and structural information down to the atomic level. In two previous editions, Electron Energy-Loss Spectroscopy in the Electron Microscope has become the standard reference guide to the instrumentation, physics and procedures involved, and the kind of results obtainable. Within the last few years, the commercial availability of lens-aberration correctors and electron-beam monochromators has further increased the spatial and energy resolution of EELS. This thoroughly updated and revised Third Edition incorporates these new developments, as well as advances in electron-scattering theory, spectral and image processing, and recent applications in fields such as nanotechnology. The appendices now contain a listing of inelastic mean free paths and a description of more than 20 MATLAB programs for calculating EELS data.

Book Transmission Electron Microscopy

Download or read book Transmission Electron Microscopy written by Ludwig Reimer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-08-28 with total page 602 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this monograph is to outline the physics of image formation, electron–specimen interactions, and image interpretation in transmission el- tron microscopy. Since the last edition, transmission electron microscopy has undergone a rapid evolution. The introduction of monochromators and - proved energy ?lters has allowed electron energy-loss spectra with an energy resolution down to about 0.1 eV to be obtained, and aberration correctors are now available that push the point-to-point resolution limit down below 0.1 nm. After the untimely death of Ludwig Reimer, Dr. Koelsch from Springer- Verlag asked me if I would be willing to prepare a new edition of the book. As it had served me as a reference for more than 20 years, I agreed without hesitation. Distinct from more specialized books on speci?c topics and from books intended for classroom teaching, the Reimer book starts with the basic principles and gives a broad survey of the state-of-the-art methods, comp- mented by a list of references to allow the reader to ?nd further details in the literature. The main objective of this revised edition was therefore to include the new developments but leave the character of the book intact. The presentation of the material follows the format of the previous e- tion as outlined in the preface to that volume, which immediately follows. A few derivations have been modi?ed to correspond more closely to modern textbooks on quantum mechanics, scattering theory, or solid state physics.

Book Secondary Electron Energy Spectroscopy In The Scanning Electron Microscope

Download or read book Secondary Electron Energy Spectroscopy In The Scanning Electron Microscope written by Anjam Khursheed and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2020-10-26 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with the subject of secondary energy spectroscopy in the scanning electron microscope (SEM). The SEM is a widely used research instrument for scientific and engineering research and its low energy scattered electrons, known as secondary electrons, are used mainly for the purpose of nanoscale topographic imaging. This book demonstrates the advantages of carrying out precision electron energy spectroscopy of its secondary electrons, in addition to them being used for imaging. The book will demonstrate how secondary electron energy spectroscopy can transform the SEM into a powerful analytical tool that can map valuable material science information to the nanoscale, superimposing it onto the instrument's normal topographic mode imaging. The book demonstrates how the SEM can then be used to quantify/identify materials, acquire bulk density of states information, capture dopant density distributions in semiconductor specimens, and map surface charge distributions.

Book Development of an Energy Filtering Direct Electron Detector for Diffraction Studies in the SEM

Download or read book Development of an Energy Filtering Direct Electron Detector for Diffraction Studies in the SEM written by Stefano Vespucci and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis describes the application of an energy filtering digital direct electron detector for diffraction studies of materials in the field emission scanning electron microscope (SEM). The main aim was the development of the digital complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor hybrid pixel detector, \Timepix" for electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), a technique which allows the acquisition of precise crystallographic information from the surface of a sample, such as crystallographic orientation, phase and strain. EBSD results from nitride semiconductor, silicon and diamond thin films and tungsten-carbide cobalt samples are presented and used to illustrate the advantages of acquiring EBSD patterns with the Timepix detector, in particular to demonstrate the improvement in the contrast and increase in the detail contained in the EBSD patterns as consequence of the energy filtering. Alongside EBSD, new applications were developed such as re ection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED) in the SEM. RHEED is a very surface sensitive technique which in principle could allow the study of ultrathin samples where conventional SEM based methods are limited. The combination of RHEED and Kikuchi diffraction, led furthermore to the development of surface wave resonance electron channelling contrast imaging (SWRECCI), which allows crystalline defects such as surface steps, grain boundaries, dislocations and stacking faults to be imaged with a high level of surface sensitivity, iii extending furthermore the application of ECCI to non-continuous surfaces. This is obtained by selecting experimental geometries which stimulate the surface wave resonance at the specimen surface. Transmission diffraction in the SEM was also explored, resulting in the acquisition of transmission diffraction patterns and in the generation of images of the sample obtained under experimental conditions analogous to scanning transmission electron microscopy. This allowed for example, bright and dark field images of the specimen to be obtained. The resulting images exhibited crystalline contrast not often observed in the SEM. The Timepix sensor is constructed from a piece of single crystal silicon. Diffraction effects within this single crystal were found to result in the Timepix detector response exhibiting an underlying diffraction pattern; that is a detector diffraction pattern (DDP). The DDP provides a watermark from which the location of the camera relative to the position of the electron beam on the sample may be precisely and accurately determined. This opens up new opportunities for improved mapping of the strain distribution in materials for example. The development of all the novel techniques summarized above opens up new horizons which need to be explored.
