Abstract We could resolve the spin-orbit splitting of 160 ± 4 cm-1 in the 2II ground state of O2- anions by high resolution photodetachment photoelectron spectroscopy. The observed splitting is in good agreement with the theoretically derived value. Our directly measured electron affinity of O 2 is 450 ± 2 meV and deviates within experiment errors from previous values. kHz repetition rate was applied to avoid space charge and improve electron energy resolution in a time-of-flight electron energy analyzer.

Electron Energy Loss

The recent development of the Z-contrast imaging technique for the VG HB501 UX dedicated STEM, has added a high-resolution imaging facility to a microscope used mainly for microanalysis. This imaging technique not only provides a high-resolution reference image, but as it can be performed simultaneously with electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS), can be used to position the electron probe at the atomic scale. The spatial resolution of both the image and the energy loss spectrum can be identical, and in principle limited only by the 2.2 Å probe size of the microscope. There now exists, therefore, the possibility to perform chemical analysis of materials on the scale of single atomic columns or planes.In order to achieve atomic resolution energy loss spectroscopy, the range over which a fast electron can cause a particular excitation event, must be less than the interatomic spacing. This range is described classically by the impact parameter, b, which ranges from ~10 Å for the low loss region of the spectrum to <1Å for the core losses.

Electron Energy Loss

Electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) has been a powerful tool for high resolution studies of elemental distribution, as well as electronic structure, in thin samples. Its foundation for biological research has been laid out nearly two decades ago, and in the subsequent years it has been subjected to rigorous, but by no means extensive research. In particular, some problems unique to EELS of biological samples, have not been fully resolved. In this article we present a brief summary of recent methodological developments, related to biological applications of EELS, in our laboratory. The main purpose of this work was to maximize the signal to noise ratio (S/N) for trace elemental analysis at a minimum dose, in order to reduce the electron dose and/or time required for the acquisition of high resolution elemental maps of radiation sensitive biological materials.Based on the simple assumption of Poisson distribution of independently scattered electrons, it had been generally assumed that the optimum specimen thickness, at which the S/N is a maximum, must be the total inelastic mean free path of the beam electron in the sample.
