Transmission Electron Microscopy of Metal Nanodendrites Grown on Insulator Substrates by Electron-Beam-Induced Deposition

Fabrication and characterization of nanostructures on insulator substrates by electron-beam-induced deposition.

The fabrication, characterization, and decoration with metallic nanoparticles of nanostructures such as nanowhiskers, nanodendrites, and fractal-like nanotrees on insulator substrates by electron-beam-induced deposition (EBID) are reviewed. Nanostructures with different morphologies of whiskers, dendrites, or trees are fabricated on insulator (Al2O3 or SiO2) substrates by EBID in transmission e...

Examination of Lung Parenchyma by Electron Microscopy

In this paper many of the principal struc­ture of the Moral Lung were studied with the help of Electron Microscopy. Detailed descrip­tion was given of Granular Pneumocytes, Membranous Pneumocytes, Macrophages, and Alveolar Capillaries. A discussion followed on the form and function of Granular Pneumo­cytes.  Acknowledgements  I am grateful to the Reza Shah Pahlavi Foundation for its generou...

Electron-stimulated purification of platinum nanostructures grown via focused electron beam induced deposition

Platinum-carbon nanostructures deposited via electron beam induced deposition from MeCpPt(IV)Me3 are purified during a post-deposition electron exposure treatment in a localized oxygen ambient at room temperature. Time-dependent studies demonstrate that the process occurs from the top-down. Electron beam energy and current studies demonstrate that the process is controlled by a confluence of th...

Transmission Electron Microscopy Investigations of Thin Mo and Pd Films Grown on SrTiO 3 Substrates

Reducing Electron Beam Damage with Multipass Transmission Electron Microscopy

With the introduction of hardware aberration correction, direct electron detectors, ultra-bright electron sources and highly precise spectrometers, it seems like we are approaching the pinnacle of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) imaging and spectroscopy. However, the field of electron microscopy is still far from the ultimate signal-to-noise and efficiency limits imposed by electron scat...
