Scanning transmission low-energy electron microscopy
We discuss an extension to the transmission mode of the cathode-lens-equipped scanning electron microscope, enabling operation down to the lowest energies of electrons. Penetration of electrons through free-standing ultrathin films is examined along the full energy scale, and the contribution of the secondary electrons (SEs), released near the bottom surface of the sample, is shown, enhancing t...
متن کاملVery Low Energy Scanning Electron Microscopy
Very low energy scanning electron microscopy is introduced as a scanning version of the low energy electron microscopy, i.e. the emission electron microscopy with the sample excited by means of a parallel wave of electrons. The incident primary electrons are retarded in the cathode lens consisting of a negatively biased sample (cathode) and earthed anode. Interaction of slow electrons with soli...
متن کامل2D atomic mapping of oxidation states in transition metal oxides by scanning transmission electron microscopy and electron energy-loss spectroscopy.
Using a combination of high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy and atomically resolved electron energy-loss spectroscopy in an aberration-corrected transmission electron microscope we demonstrate the possibility of 2D atom by atom valence mapping in the mixed valence compound Mn3O4. The Mn L(2,3) energy-loss near-edge structures from Mn2+ and Mn3+ cation sites ar...
متن کاملToward low-power electronics: tunneling phenomena in transition metal dichalcogenides.
In this article, we explore, experimentally, the impact of band-to-band tunneling on the electronic transport of double-gated WSe2 field-effect transistors (FETs) and Schottky barrier tunneling of holes in back-gated MoS2 FETs. We show that by scaling the flake thickness and the thickness of the gate oxide, the tunneling current can be increased by several orders of magnitude. We also perform n...
متن کاملSimulations and measurements in scanning electron microscopes at low electron energy.
The advent of new imaging technologies in Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) using low energy (0-2 keV) electrons has brought about new ways to study materials at the nanoscale. It also brings new challenges in terms of understanding electron transport at these energies. In addition, reduction in energy has brought new contrast mechanisms producing images that are sometimes difficult to interpr...
