The common experimental method to determine the total inelastic mean free path i by electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) is by the relation : t/λi= ln(It/IO) [1] where t is the specimen thickness, It, is the total integrated intensity, and Io is the intensity of the zero-loss peak. The accuracy of this measurement depends on the thickness determination. Model geometries like cubes, wedges, and spheres enable accurate thickness determination from transmission images.Spherical polymers with diameters of order 10-200nm can be made from a number of high-Tg polymers by solvent atomization. This research studied atomized spheres of poly(2-vinyl pyridine) [PVP]. A solution of 0.1% PVP in THF was nebulized. After solvent evaporation during free fall within the chamber atmosphere, solid spherical polymer particles with a range of diameters were collected on holey-carbon TEM grids at the bottom of the atomization chamber.
