In recent years,instrumentation for electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) has been steadily improved to increase energy resolution and collection efficiency. At present 0.40eV at 10mR collection half angle is available with commercial magnetic sectors (e.g. Gatan, Inc. and VG Microscopes, Ltd.), and 70meV at 10mR has been demonstrated by use of a Wien filter within a large deceleration field. When these high resolution spectrometers are coupled to the modern small electron probe instrument, we obtain a tool which promises to reveal local changes in bandstructure and bonding near defects and interfaces in heterogeneous materials.Unfortunately, typical electron sources have intrinsic energy widths which limit attainable spectroscopic resolution in the absence of some monochromation system. For instance, the W thermal emitter has a half width of about 1eV.

The four polarisation method is adopted for measurement of molecular orientation in dielectric nanolayers of metal-insulator-metal (MIM) metamaterials composed of gold nanodisks on polyimide and gold films. Hyperspectral mapping at the chemical finger printing spectral range of 4–20 μμm was carried out for MIM patterns of 1–2.5 μμm period (sub-wavelength). Overlay images taken at 0,π4,π2,3π4 orientation angles and subsequent baseline compensation are shown to be critically important for the interpretation of chemical mapping results and reduction of spurious artefacts. Light field enhancement in the 60-nm-thick polyimide (I in MIM) was responsible for strong absorption at the characteristic polyimide bands. Strong absorbance A at narrow IR bands can be used as a thermal emitter (emittance E=1−R), where R is the reflectance and A=1−R−T, where for optically thick samples the transmittance is T=0.

Studies of x-ray emission from thin films on substrates using an electron probe microanalyzer (EPMA) provide useful information on the characteristics of x-ray generation by electron beams. In this study, EPMA measurements of multilayered samples were performed in order to test and improve analytical and numerical models used for quantitative EPMA. These models provide relatively accurate results for samples consisting of layers with similar average atomic numbers, because of their similar properties regarding electron transport and x-ray generation. On the contrary, these models find difficulties to describe the process when the various layers have very different atomic numbers. In a previous work, we studied the surface ionization of thin copper films of various thicknesses deposited on substrates with very different atomic numbers. In the present communication, the study is extended to the case of multilayered specimens.The studied specimens consisted of thin copper films deposited on a carbon layer which, in turn, was placed on a variety of single-element substrates, ranging from Be to Bi.
