Atom-scale ptychographic electron diffractive imaging of boron nitride cones.

چکیده
Ptychographic coherent diffractive imaging (CDI) has been extensively applied using both x rays and electrons. The extension to atomic resolution has been elusive. This Letter demonstrates ptychographic electron diffractive imaging at atomic resolution, permitting identification of structure in a boron nitride helical cone at a resolution of order 1 Å, beyond that of comparative Z-contrast images. A scanning transmission electron microscope is used to create a diverging illumination in a defocused Fresnel CDI geometry, providing a robust strategy leading to a unique solution.

Molecular Simulation of Hydrogen Adsorption onto Single-Walled Carbon and Boron-Nitride Nano-Cones
In this paper, we have studied the hydrogen adsorption onto CNCs and BNNCs nano-cones using GCMC simulations. The effects of length and cone apex angle on adsorption property have been investigated. Our results show that with increasing the pressure and decreasing the cone length and cone apex angle except for CNC-300˚, the hydrogen adsorption onto the BNNCs and CNCs was increased. It was also ...

The doping reaction of truncated boron nitride and carbon nanotubes with aluminium atom wastheoretically investigated. The AM1, PM3, and PM6 semiempirical methods have been used toevaluate the thermochemistry of doping reactions of single walled boron nitride nanotubes andcarbon nanotubes. The enthalpy changes, Gibbs free energy changes, and entropy changes of studieddoping reactions were evalu...
متن کاملPtychographic imaging with a compact gas-discharge plasma extreme ultraviolet light source.
We report the demonstration of a scanning probe coherent diffractive imaging method (also known as ptychographic CDI) using a compact and partially coherent gas-discharge plasma source of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiation at a 17.3 nm wavelength. Until now, CDI has been mainly carried out with coherent, high-brightness light sources, such as third generation synchrotrons, x-ray free-electron ...
متن کاملNested boron nitride and carbon-boron nitride nanocones
In this letter we extend previously established results for nested carbon nanocones to both nested boron nitride and carbon-boron nitride nanocones. Based purely on mechanical principles and classical mathematical modelling techniques, we determine the energetically favourable structures for nested boron nitride and carbon-boron nitride nanocones. While only three apex angles for boron nitride ...
متن کاملPtychographic electron microscopy using high-angle dark-field scattering for sub-nanometre resolution imaging
Diffractive imaging, in which image-forming optics are replaced by an inverse computation using scattered intensity data, could, in principle, realize wavelength-scale resolution in a transmission electron microscope. However, to date all implementations of this approach have suffered from various experimental restrictions. Here we demonstrate a form of diffractive imaging that unshackles the i...
