Three-dimensional reconstructions of electrostatic potential distributions with 1.5-nm resolution using off-axis electron holography.

چکیده
Three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction experiments were carried out by observing high-resolution 3D electrostatic potential distributions of Pt nanoparticles using off-axis electron holographic tomography. These Pt nanoparticles were mounted on the surfaces of amorphous silicon pillars. In order to realize high-resolution observation, we developed a mechanically stable 3D specimen holder with small specimen drifts and vibrations. From the 3D electrostatic potential distribution data of Pt nanoparticles (2.0 nm in diameter), we obtained the resolution of 1.5 nm.

متن کاملThe measurement of electrostatic potentials in core/shell GaN nanowires using off-axis electron holography
Core-shell GaN nanowires are expected to be building blocks of future light emitting devices. Here we apply off-axis electron holography to map the electrostatic potential distributions in such nanowires. To access the cross-section of selected individual nanowires, focused ion beam (FIB) milling is used. Furthermore, to assess the influence of FIB damage, the dopant potential measured from an ...

Heterojunction Si-Ge nanowires (NWs) have potential applications such as field effect transistors [1]. Knowledge of the active dopant concentration and distribution, and resultant built-in potential across the Si-Ge p-n junction under biasing conditions is important for improving device performance. Off-axis electron holography is an effective method to measure electrostatic potential with nano...

Off-axis electron holography is an electron microscopy-based technique that allows the electrostatic and magnetic fields in and around a specimen to be measured with nm-scale resolution. The continuous reduction in the size of semiconductor devices means that information about the distribution of strain fields and active dopants at a nanometre scale is required in order to understand how these ...
