Normal Specimen

An experimental technique for performing electron holography using a non-FEG, non-biprism transmission electron microscope (TEM) has been introduced by Ru et al. A double stacked specimens, one being a single crystal foil and the other the specimen, are loaded in the normal specimen position in TEM. The single crystal, which is placed onto the specimen, is responsible to produce two beams that are equivalent to two virtual coherent sources illuminating the specimen beneath, thus, permitting electron holography of the specimen. In this paper, the imaging theory of this technique is described. Procedures are introduced for digitally reconstructing the holograms.

Strain Rate Loading

The effect of varying the strain rate loading conditions in compression on a copper single crystal dispersion-hardened with SiO2 particles has been examined. These particles appear as small spherical inclusions in the copper lattice and have a volume fraction of 0.6%. The structure of representative crystals was examined prior to any testing on a transmission electron microscope (TEM) to determine the nature of the dislocations initially present in the tested crystals. Only a few scattered edge and screw dislocations were viewed in those specimens.

Abstract We have developed an amplitude-division type Mach-Zehnder electron interferometer (MZ-EI). The developed MZ-EI is composed of single crystals corresponding to amplitude-division beam splitters, lenses corresponding to mirrors and an objective aperture. The spacings and azimuth angles of interference fringes can be controlled by single crystal materials and their orientations and by diffraction spots selected by the objective aperture. We built the MZ-EI on a 1.2-MV field-emission transmission electron microscope and tested its performance. Results showed that interference fringes were created for various spacings and azimuth angles, which demonstrates the practicability of the MZ-EI as an amplitude-division type electron interferometer.

AbstractThe ability to prepare multiple cross-section transmission electron microscope (XTEM) samples from one XTEM sample of specific sub-10 nm features was demonstrated. Sub-10 nm diameter Si nanowire (NW) devices were initially cross-sectioned using a dual-beam focused ion beam system in a direction running parallel to the device channel. From this XTEM sample, both low- and high-resolution transmission electron microscope (TEM) images were obtained from six separate, specific site Si NW devices. The XTEM sample was then re-sectioned in four separate locations in a direction perpendicular to the device channel: 90° from the original XTEM sample direction. Three of the four XTEM samples were successfully sectioned in the gate region of the device. From these three samples, low- and high-resolution TEM images of the Si NW were taken and measurements of the NW diameters were obtained. This technique demonstrated the ability to obtain high-resolution TEM images in directions 90° from one another of multiple, specific sub-10 nm features that were spaced 1.1 μm apart.

AbstractCross-section transmission electron microscope (TEM) specimen preparation of Ill-V materials using conventional methods can be a painful and time-consuming activity, with a day or more from receipt of a sample to examination in the TEM being the norm. This article describes the cross-section TEM specimen preparation technique used at Bookham Caswell. The usual time from start to finish is <1 hour. Up to 10 samples can be prepared at once, depending upon sample type. Most of the tools used are widely available and inexpensive, making the technique ideal for use in institutions with limited resources.

Twinning System

It is well established that microtwins play an important role in accommodating stresses that accompany the growth of Si on sapphire (SOS) for the (001)Si/(1012)sapphire hetero-epitaxial system. When examined in cross section along the <110> direction by the transmission electron microscope (TEM), microtwins corresponding to two of the four twinning systems are clearly visible. It is also apparent that one of the two twinning systems dominates. For the [110] beam direction, the (111) twinning system accounts for the majority of visible microtwins, whereas the (111) twinning system accounts for the minority. It is thought that the abundance of (111) twins is due to a coincidence between the (111) planes of the Si matrix and the (1232) planes of the sapphire substrate; there is also a coincidence between the (113) planes of the majority twinning system and the (0112) sapphire planes. There are no such coincidences, however, between the minority twinning system in Si and the sapphire substrate.

Foil Specimen

ABSTRACTA special technique is described for in situ transmission electron microscope (TEM) experiments involving simultaneous ion irradiation, in which the resultant phenomena are observed as in a cross-section TEM specimen. That is, instead of ion-irradiating the film or foil specimen normal to the major surfaces and observing in plan view (i.e., in the same direction), the specimen is irradiated edge-on (i.e., parallel to the major surfaces) and is observed normal to the depth direction with respect to the irradiation. The results of amorphization of Si, irradiated in this orientation by 1 or 1.5 MeV Kr, are presented and briefly compared with the usual plan view observations. The limitations of the technique are discussed and several experiments which might profitably employ this technique are suggested.

Transmission electron microscope studies of the quadriflagellate zoospores of the parasitic, subaerial green alga Cephaleuros virescens Kunze have provided a basis for comparison between these motile cells and biflagellate gametes previously examined.1 As seen in cross-section (Fig. 1), the four basal bodies form a trapezoid in which the two upper basal bodies are closer together than the two lower basal bodies. The basal bodies are parallel, overlapping, and interdigitated. Two flagella are inserted into either side of the apical papilla and terminate in diagonally opposed basal bodies. The bilaterally keeled flagella (Fig. 2) are often closely appressed thereby creating a biflagellate appearance. Each of the four basal bodies is associated with a microtubular spline which extends posteriorly beneath the plasmalemma. A densely stained flagellar cap is present at the end of each basal body and together with the terminal region of its spline, forms a multilayered structure (MLS). Although the MLSs associated with the two lower basal bodies (Fig. 3) are virtually identical to those found in the gametes, those associated with the upper basal bodies are morphologically different or positioned in such a manner that “typical” sectional views cannot be obtained. The observations reveal that although minor differences exist, the zoospores of Cephaleuros are similar to those of Phycopeltis,2 a related genus.
