Strain Associated with Surface-Penetrating Dislocations Visible by Electron Channeling Contrast Imaging
Electron channeling contrast imaging (ECCI) is a non-destructive technique that can be used to image defects in crystalline materials. ECCI operates by selection of a certain diffraction condition, where a slight deviation from Bragg angle will induce a sharp change in the backscattered electron (BSE) yield. Defects such as dislocations can cause strong local deformation, or strain, in a crysta...
متن کاملSEM Through Dielectric Membranes: Secondary Electron Contrast Reversal
Recent advances in electron microscope fluid cell design have enabled imaging of samples in aqueous environments and have provided a platform to perform in-situ crystallization experiments as well as electrochemical studies [1-2]. However, the actual SEM imaging contrast mechanisms when imaging through the dielectric membranes of this type of fluid cell device remain unknown. In these experimen...
متن کاملAtomic number and crystallographic contrast images with the SEM: a review of backscattered electron techniques
Backscattered electrons (BSE) are incident electrons reflected back from a target specimen and imaged with the scanning electron microscope (SEM). Three distinct BSE signals exist: atomic number or Z-contrast, in which composition determines image contrast; orientation contrast, in which specimen crystal structure determines image contrast; and electron channelling patterns (ECP), which are uni...
متن کاملBasic Principles and Application of Electron Channeling in a Scanning Electron Microscope for Dislocation Analysis
Dislocations are extended defects within crystalline solids that often influence the mechanical, electrical, magnetic and optical properties of the material. Establishing more quantitative relationships between dislocations and material properties relies on effective microscopy or spectroscopy methods that can resolve both dislocation type and position within the solid. Diffraction has historic...
متن کاملThree-Dimensional Imaging of Dislocations in a Ti–35mass%Nb Alloy by Electron Tomography
We have studied three-dimensional (3D) configurations of dislocations in the β phase of a Ti-35mass%Nb alloy by means of single-axis tilt tomography using bright-field scanning transmission electron microscopy (BF-STEM). To visualize dislocations, the hh0 systematic reflections were excited throughout tilt-series acquisition with the maximum tilt angle of 70°. Dislocations in the β grains were ...
