An ion source has been designed to operate in the chamber of the Stereoscan scanning electron microscope and provides facilities for etching specimens in situ. The source is a demountable cold cathode discharge type requiring only simple control.The ion beam described above has been used to progressively etch away hard or resilient biological material. This is the first time that ion beam etching of botanical specimens has been followed inside the scanning microscope, and marks the beginning of a range of dynamic experiments using this form of instrumentation.

AbstractThis paper investigates the adhesive interface in a polymer/metal (polyethylene terephthalate/steel) laminate that is subjected to uniaxial strain. Cross-sections perpendicular to such interfaces were created with a focused ion beam and imaged with scanning electron microscopy during straining in the electron microscope. During in situ straining, glide steps formed by the steel caused traction at the interface and initiated crazes in the polyethylene terephthalate (PET). These crazes readily propagated along the free surface of the PET layer. Similar crazing has not been previously encountered in laminates that were pre-strained or in numerical calculations. The impact of focused ion beam treatments on mechanical properties of the polymer/metal laminate system was therefore investigated. It was found that mechanical properties such as toughness of PET are dramatically influenced by focused ion beam etching. It was also found that this change in mechanical properties has a different effect on the pre-strained and in situ strained samples.

AbstractAmorphous hydrogenated carbon films are deposited by direct ion beam deposition onto Si and W substrates at room temperature. Simultaneously, the sample surface composition is measured by Auger electron spectroscopy. The results indicate a sharp interface between film and Si and the formation of a W2C layer between film and W. The in-situ measurements are compared with sputter depth profiles. It is found that the former ones give insight into film growth processes, that is unattainable by sputter profiling.
