Energy-Filtered High-Angle Dark Field Mapping of Ultra-Light Elements
Using the High Energy Resolution Monochromated EELS-STEM (HERMES) system we recently introduced [1] together with Gatan’s Enfinium spectrometer with upgraded ultra-high stability power supplies [2], energy resolution as low as 14 meV has been demonstrated in electron energy loss spectra (EELS) acquired in 0.1 s (Fig. 1), and sub-20 meV resolution has become typical for routine acquisitions of s...
متن کاملQuantitative Chemical Mapping of InGaN Quantum Wells from Calibrated High-Angle Annular Dark Field Micrographs.
We present a simple and robust method to acquire quantitative maps of compositional fluctuations in nanostructures from low magnification high-angle annular dark field (HAADF) micrographs calibrated by energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy in scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) mode. We show that a nonuniform background in HAADF-STEM micrographs can be eliminated, to a first a...
متن کاملQuantitative atomic resolution mapping using high-angle annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscopy.
A model-based method is proposed to relatively quantify the chemical composition of atomic columns using high angle annular dark field (HAADF) scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) images. The method is based on a quantification of the total intensity of the scattered electrons for the individual atomic columns using statistical parameter estimation theory. In order to apply this the...
متن کاملHalo Dark Matter and Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays
The decay of very heavy metastable relics of the Early Universe can produce ultrahigh energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) in the halo of our own Galaxy. On distance scales of the order of the halo size, energy losses are negligible—no Greisen-ZatsepinKuzmin cutoff is expected. In this letter we show that, as a consequence of the hierarchical build up of the halo, this scenario predicts the existence of...
متن کاملMapping the Valence States of Transition-Metal Elements Using Energy-Filtered Transmission Electron Microscopy
The properties of transition-metal oxides are related to the presence of elements with mixed valences, such as Mn and Co. Spatial mapping of the valence-state distribution of transition-metal elements is a challenge to existing microscopy techniques. In this letter, using the valence-state information provided by the white lines observed in electron energy-loss spectroscopy in a transmission el...
