Electron channeling patterns (ECP) were first found by Coates (1967) while observing a large bulk, single crystal of silicon in a scanning electron microscope. The geometric pattern visible was shown to be produced as a result of the changes in the angle of incidence, between the beam and the specimen surface normal, which occur when the sample is examined at low magnification (Booker, Shaw, Whelan and Hirsch 1967).A conventional electron diffraction pattern consists of an angularly resolved intensity distribution in space which may be directly viewed on a fluorescent screen or recorded on a photographic plate. An ECP, on the other hand, is produced as the result of changes in the signal collected by a suitable electron detector as the incidence angle is varied. If an integrating detector is used, or if the beam traverses the surface at a fixed angle, then no channeling contrast will be observed. The ECP is thus a time resolved electron diffraction effect. It can therefore be related to spatially resolved diffraction phenomena by an application of the concepts of reciprocity (Cowley 1969).

ABSTRACTThe technique of picosecond electron diffraction is used to time resolve the laser-induced melting of thin aluminum films. It is observed that under rapid heating conditions, the long range order of the lattice subsists for lattice temperatures well above the equilibrium point, indicative of superheating. This superheating can be verified by directly measuring the lattice temperature. The collapse time of the long range order is measured and found to vary from 20 ps to several nanoseconds according to the degree of superheating. Two interpretations of the delayed melting are offered, based on the conventional nucleation and point defect theories. While the nucleation theory provides an initial nucleus size and concentration for melting to occur, the point defect theory offers a possible explanation for how the nuclei are originally formed.
