High spatial resolution Auger electron spectra and scanning Auger microscope (SAM) images of supported metal catalysts have been obtained in a UHV scanning transmission electron microscope. Ag/α-Al2O3 was used as a model catalyst system, where silver was evaporated, in situ, onto polycrystalline alumina carriers. Silver particles, as small as 2 nm in diameter, were clearly revealed in SAM images with high contrast. On large islands, an edge resolution < 3 nm was achieved. Information about surface and bulk properties of supported catalysts can be extracted from images formed with different signals generated from the same area which are obtained simultaneously. 相似文献

This paper presents the design of a low voltage time of flight electron emission microscope (TOF-EEM), which should in principle be capable of acquiring spectral chemical information at nano-metre spatial resolution. The system will be able to operate as a photoelectron emission microscope (PEEM), an X-ray photoemission electron microscope (XPEEM), or a secondary electron emission microscope (SEEM). For each pixel in its highly magnified topographic image, the TOF-EEM column should be able to provide the emission spectrum with milli-electron-volt resolution. The system is designed to operate at secondary electron beam voltages of typically less than 100 V, and has the possibility of dynamically correcting for chromatic aberration. Provisional simulation results predict that the TOF-EEM column should be able to provide an image resolution of better than 2 nm. 相似文献

An environmental transmission electron microscope provides unique means for the atomic-scale exploration of nanomaterials during the exposure to a reactive gas environment. Here we examine conditions to obtain such in situ observations in the high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) mode with an image resolution of 0.10nm. This HRTEM image resolution threshold is mapped out under different gas conditions, including gas types and pressures, and under different electron optical settings, including electron beam energies, doses and dose-rates. The 0.10nm resolution is retainable for H(2) at 1-10mbar. Even for N(2), the 0.10nm resolution threshold is reached up to at least 10mbar. The optimal imaging conditions are determined by the electron beam energy and the dose-rate as well as an image signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio that is consistent with Rose's criterion of S/N≥5. A discussion on the electron-gas interactions responsible for gas-induced resolution deterioration is given based on interplay with complementary electron diffraction (ED), scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) as well as electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) data. 相似文献

大尺寸中阶梯光栅具有大孔径和极高的衍射级次,可以实现普通光栅难以达到的极高光谱分辨率。中阶梯光栅通常是利用刻划机在厚铝膜上刻划而成,所以制备大面积均匀性的高质量铝膜刻划基底是实现高性能大尺寸中阶梯光栅的关键因素。在较厚铝膜的制备工艺中,基底温度是至关重要的工艺参数。本文通过电子束热蒸发镀铝工艺在不同基底温度下制备了厚铝膜样品,并利用原子力显微镜、扫描电镜等手段从宏观和微观尺度详细分析了基底温度对铝膜质量的影响。铝膜平均晶粒尺寸从100℃时的264.34 nm增大到200℃时的384.97 nm和300℃时的596.35 nm,表面粗糙度Rq从100℃时的34.7 nm增长到200℃时的58.9 nm和300℃时的95.1 nm。结果表明,随着基底温度的升高表面粗糙度迅速增大,铝膜的表面质量严重退化。 相似文献

Surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy is based on the absorption of light by nanometer‐sized metal particles, resulting in large enhancement of the Raman signal. By replacing the metal particles by a metallic nanotip, the enhancement can be localized. The resulting tip‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy is capable of measuring Raman spectra with high spatial resolution, effectively overcoming the diffraction limit. A successful tip‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy experiment depends heavily on the ability to fabricate tips of a definite metal with the appropriate shape and size, which is still a challenging process. We have prepared silver nanowires with a diameter of 200–300 nm by templated electrochemical deposition and attached them onto atomic force microscope cantilevers by focused electron beam induced deposition. We found that they produce a reproducible enhancement of the Raman signal intensity. Other metals and smaller nanostructures might also be produced, suggesting an interesting development potential for these novel nanoprobes. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

The properties of transition metal oxides are related to the presence of elements with mixed valences. The spectroscopy analysis of the valence states is feasible experimentally, but a spatial mapping of valence states of transition metal elements is a challenge to existing microscopy techniques. In this paper, with the use of valence state information provided by the white lines and near-edge fine structures observed using the electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) in a transmission electron microscope (TEM), a novel experimental approach is demonstrated to map the valence state distributions of Mn and Co using the ratio of white lines in the energy-filtered TEM. The valence state map is almost independent of specimen thickness in the thickness range adequate for quantitative EELS microanalysis. An optimum spatial resolution of approximately 2 nm has been achieved for a two-phase Co oxides. 相似文献

PdAu nanocrystals are synthesised by Geobacter sulfurreducens, a dissimilatory metal‐reducing bacterium, and the resulting bimetallic nanocrystal‐decorated microbes are imaged using a range of advanced electron microscopy techniques. Specifically, the first example of elemental mapping of fully hydrated biological nanostructures using scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) energy dispersive X‐ray (EDX) spectrum imaging within an environmental liquid‐cell is reported. These results are combined with cryo‐TEM and ex situ STEM imaging and EDX analysis with the aim of better understanding microbial synthesis of bimetallic nanoparticles. It is demonstrated that although Au and Pd are colocalized across the cells, the population of nanoparticles produced is bimodal, containing ultrasmall alloyed nanocrystals with diameters <3 nm and significantly larger core‐shell structures (>200 nm in diameter) which show higher Pd contents and exhibit a Pd enriched shell only a few nanometers thick. The application of high‐resolution imaging techniques described here offers the potential to visualize the microbe‐metal interface during the bioproduction of a range of functional materials by microbial “green” synthesis routes, and also key interfaces underpinning globally relevant environmental processes (e.g., metal cycling). 相似文献

TiAg intermetallic compound coating has been in situ synthesized successfully on pure Ti substrate by laser cladding using Ag powder as the precursor. It has been found that the prepared coating mainly comprised TiAg and Ti phases. The high resolution transmission electron microscopy results further conform the existence of TiAg intermetallic compound in the prepared coating. The magnified high resolution transmission electron microscopy images shown that the laser cladding coating contains TiAg nanocrystalline with the size of about 4 nm. Tribological properties of the prepared TiAg intermetallic compound coating were systematically evaluated. It was found that the friction coefficient and wear rate was closely related to the normal load and sliding speed, i.e., the friction coefficient of the prepared TiAg intermetallic compound coating decreased with increasing normal load and sliding speed. The wear rate of the TiAg intermetallic compound coating decreased rapidly with increasing sliding speed, while the wear rate increased as the normal load increased. 相似文献

We report the characterization of solution-synthesized CdTe and HgTe nanocrystals by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and photoluminescence. Methanol solutions of sodium telluride and cadmium iodide or mercury iodide, respectively, are reacted to precipitate the nanocrystalline metal tellurides, while the sodium iodide byproduct remains in solution. The existence of crystalline CdTe, HgTe, and ternary HgCdTe compounds has been demonstrated by powder X-ray diffraction after a post-synthesis sintering process. Precipitated crystallites from this synthesis were analyzed by transmission electron microscopy, which revealed that crystal diameters can vary from approximately 1 nm to 100 nm and that crystals are stoichiometric within the detection limit of the electron microprobe technique. Narrow size ranges can be selected and investigated due to an in-situ separation process in the electron microscope. Photoluminescence is found at energies above the bulk exciton energy for CdTe and is attributed to near-band-gap recombination which is blue-shifted due to quantum confinement. Both low defect luminescence and dark field imaging suggest a high crystalline quality. A comparative characterization by photoluminescence, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction evaluates the effects of heat treatments during and after synthesis. 相似文献

Silver colloids in aqueous solution were studied by different scanning microscopy techniques and UV/VIS spectroscopy. The
silver colloids were produced either by chemical reduction or by nanosecond laser ablation from a solid silver foil in water.
Variation of laser power and ablation time leads to solutions of metal clusters of different sizes in water. We characterized
the electronic absorption of the clusters by UV/VIS spectroscopy. STM (scanning tunneling microscope) imaging of the metal
colloids shows atomic resolution of rod- or tenon-like silver clusters up to 10-nm length formed by laser ablation. Our scanning
electron microscope measurements, however, show that much larger silver colloids up to 5-μm length are also formed, which
are not visible in the STM due to their roughness. We correlate them with the long-wavelength tail of the multimodal UV/VIS
spectrum. The silver colloids obtained by chemical reduction are generally larger and their electronic spectra are red-shifted
compared to the laser-ablated clusters. Irradiation of the colloid solution with nanosecond laser pulses of appropriate fluence
at 532 nm and 355 nm initially reduced the colloid size. Longer irradiation at 355 nm, however, leads to the formation of
larger colloids again. There seems to be a critical lower particle size, where silver clusters in aqueous solution become
unstable and start to coagulate.

Finite-element simulations of the performance of the tip intended for use in combined aperture-SNOM and the scanning tunneling microscope (STM)-luminescence microscopy are presented. Tip geometry and the role of the opening in the protective metal coating were addressed. It is shown that the tip shape can affect transmittance for the excitation SNOM mode by nearly two orders of magnitude and the metal coating can enhance collection efficiency for the STM-luminescence mode. Desired tip configuration can be chosen based on the interplay between the improving collection efficiency and the deteriorating spatial resolution with increasing opening size. 相似文献

It has become very important to study and find optimal conditions for imaging electron-beam (e-beam) sensitive materials in scanning transmission electron microscopy under low electron-dose with high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Convergence and collection angles and electron-probe current are essential parameters. However, these parameters have rarely been discussed in a systematic way. In this paper, the illumination and collection conditions are optimized according to the resolution requirement of different materials by adjusting the condenser and intermediate lenses in a commercial transmission electron microscope. To demonstrate the significance of optimizing these parameters, two examples, zeolite MFI and metal–organic framework (MOF) MIL-101, are taken among the sensitive materials, with the most important electron incidences along the [010] and <110> directions, respectively. High SNR atomic resolution images of MFI are obtained with e-beam current as low as 0.50 pA, reaching information transfer for reflection up to 18 0 2 corresponding to d-spacing of 0.11 nm, close to the resolution limit of 0.098 nm from resolvable diffraction limit. MOF MIL-101 is characterized under an even lower e-beam 0.2 pA to avoid severe beam damage. High-quality annular dark and bright field images are obtained, which proves the wide applicability of this method on more e-beam sensitive materials. 相似文献
