Nanowire growth kinetics in aberration corrected environmental transmission electron microscopy.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We visualize atomic level dynamics during Si nanowire growth using aberration corrected environmental transmission electron microscopy, and compare with lower pressure results from ultra-high vacuum microscopy. We discuss the importance of higher pressure observations for understanding growth mechanisms and describe protocols to minimize effects of the higher pressure background gas.

متن کاملExperimental setup for energy-filtered scanning confocal electron microscopy (EFSCEM) in a double aberration-corrected transmission electron microscope
Scanning confocal electron microscopy (SCEM) is a new imaging mode in electron microscopy. Spherical aberration corrected electron microscope instruments fitted with two aberration correctors can be used in this mode which provides improved depth resolution and selectivity compared to optical sectioning in a conventional scanning transmission geometry. In this article, we consider a confocal op...

متن کاملRevealing New Atomic-scale Information about Materials by Improving the Quality and Quantifiability of Aberration-corrected STEM Data
Recent advances in aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy (AC-STEM) have shown the world previously unattainable views into the atomic structure and composition of materials. Thanks to improved optics, experimental and environmental factors often limit the quality of information accessed by AC-STEM. However, collecting and processing AC-STEM data using new techniques fro...
