Beam Lattice

We have extended the multi-slice method of computating many-beam lattice images of perfect crystals to calculations for imperfect crystals using the artificial superlattice approach. Electron waves scattered from faulted regions of crystals are distributed continuously in reciprocal space, and all these waves interact dynamically with each other to give diffuse scattering patterns.In the computation, this continuous distribution can be sampled only at a finite number of regularly spaced points in reciprocal space, and thus finer sampling gives an improved approximation. The larger cell also allows us to defocus the objective lens further before adjacent defect images overlap, producing spurious computational Fourier images. However, smaller cells allow us to sample the direct space cell more finely; since the two-dimensional arrays in our program are limited to 128X128 and the sampling interval shoud be less than 1/2Å (and preferably only 1/4Å), superlattice sizes are limited to 40 to 60Å. Apart from finding a compromis superlattice cell size, computing time must be conserved.

High Resolution Images

This paper will review the current state of understanding of interface structure and highlight some of the future needs and problems which must be overcome. The study of this subject can be separated into three different topics: 1) the fundamental electron microscopy aspects, 2) material-specific features of the study and 3) the characteristics of the particular interfaces. The two topics which are relevant to most studies are the choice of imaging techniques and sample preparation. The techniques used to study interfaces in the TEM include high-resolution imaging, conventional diffraction-contrast imaging, and phase-contrast imaging (Fresnel fringe images, diffuse scattering). The material studied affects not only the characteristics of the interfaces (through changes in bonding, etc.) but also the method used for sample preparation which may in turn have a significant affect on the resulting image. Finally, the actual nature and geometry of the interface must be considered. For example, it has become increasingly clear that the plane of the interface is particularly important whenever at least one of the adjoining grains is crystalline.A particularly productive approach to the study of interfaces is to combine different imaging techniques as illustrated in the study of grain boundaries in alumina. In this case, the conventional imaging approach showed that most grain boundaries in ion-thinned samples are grooved at the grain boundary although the extent of this grooving clearly depends on the crystallography of the surface. The use of diffuse scattering (from amorphous regions) gives invaluable information here since it can be used to confirm directly that surface grooving does occur and that the grooves can fill with amorphous material during sample preparation (see Fig. 1). Extensive use of image simulation has shown that, although information concerning the interface can be obtained from Fresnel-fringe images, the introduction of artifacts through sample preparation cannot be lightly ignored. The Fresnel-fringe simulation has been carried out using a commercial multislice program (TEMPAS) which was intended for simulation of high-resolution images.

By measuring the spin polarization of secondary electrons generated in a scanning electron microscope, scanning electron microscopy with polarization analysis (SEMPA) can directly image the magnitude and direction of a material’s magnetization. Because the escape depth of the secondaries is only on the order of 1 nm, SEMPA is especially well-suited for investigating the magnetization of ultra-thin films and surfaces. We have exploited this feature of SEMPA to study the magnetic microstrcture and magnetic coupling in ferromagnetic multilayers where the layers may only be a few atomic layers thick. For example, we have measured the magnetic coupling in Fe/Cr/Fe(100) and Fe/Ag/Fe(100) trilayers and have found that the coupling oscillates between ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic as a function of the Cr or Ag spacer thickness.The SEMPA apparatus has been described in detail elsewhere. The sample consisted of a magnetic sandwich structure with a wedge-shaped interlayer as shown in Fig. 1.

AbstractNeutron-diffraction data have been collected from a KBr single crystal. 380 reflections were measured, reducing to 23 when averaged over equivalents. Data were corrected for extinction and thermal diffuse scattering and refinement yielded a neutron coherent scattering amplitude
