Development of TEM Holder Generating In-Plane Magnetic Field Used for In-Situ TEM Observation
نویسندگان
چکیده
For easy performance of Lorentz microscopy with simultaneous electric measurements, a special specimen holder for transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has been developed that has electromagnets to generate magnetic field and four leads for electric measurements. This TEM holder was evaluated by checking experimental results of permalloy (Ni0.8Fe0.2) patterns. Clear observations of domain wall injection into a nanowire and movement of magnetic vortices as well as magnetoresitance during the development of magnetic domains were performed. It appeared possible to apply in-plane magnetic fields along any direction with intensities of less than about 15.9 kA/m (200Oe). [doi:10.2320/matertrans.MD201310]

Double-tilt in situ TEM holder with multiple electrical contacts and its application in MEMS-based mechanical testing of nanomaterials.
MEMS and other lab-on-a-chip systems are emerging as attractive alternatives to carry out experiments in situ the electron microscope. However, several electrical connections are usually required for operating these setups. Such connectivity is challenging inside the limited space of the TEM side-entry holder. Here, we design, implement and demonstrate a double-tilt TEM holder with capabilities...

We describe an approach allowing high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) on specimens like graphene and the investigation on their electronic transport properties at the same time. The experimental set-up presented here is based on the modification of a commercial TEM specimen holder and on a specially designed sample carrier. A customized Hall sensor confirms that the local ma...
متن کاملNovel Hybrid Sample Preparation Method for In Situ Liquid Cell TEM Analysis
In situ environmental transmission electron microscopy (TEM) research has increased dramatically in recent years [1-3]. However, due to the difficulty in sample preparation, liquid environmental TEM studies have been limited to materials such as nanoparticles or nanowires [3-5]. To date, no work has been reported on conventional metals/alloys in liquid environment. This is due to the significan...
متن کاملPresent status and future prospects of spherical aberration corrected TEM/STEM for study of nanomaterials∗.
The present status of Cs-corrected TEM/STEM is described from the viewpoint of the observation of nanomaterials. Characteristic features in TEM and STEM are explained using the experimental data obtained by our group and other research groups. Cs correction up to the 3rd-order aberration of an objective lens has already been established and research interest is focused on correcting the 5th-ord...
متن کاملIn situ TEM studies of tribo-induced bonding modifications in near-frictionless carbon films
Direct in situ TEM evidence is presented for a mechanically-induced increase in sp bond content in the tribolayers formed on near-frictionless carbon (NFC) films. An in situ TEM nanomanipulation holder is used to perform sliding experiments between a nano-sized tungsten probe and electron transparent NFC samples. Electron energy loss spectra (EELS) were acquired between sliding events to show a...
