Optimized Quadrupole-Octupole C3/C5 Aberration Corrector for STEM
نویسندگان
چکیده
The ideal location for an aberration corrector in an electron-optical column is at the place where the aberration is introduced. In practice, this of course typically cannot be achieved. The resultant separation between where an aberration is introduced and where it is removed produces combination aberrations for all aberrations of higher than first order. In the case of third-order aberration (C3≡ Cs) correctors, the physical separation between the objective lens which introduces the aberration and its corrector results in fifth-order spherical aberration (C5).

Design and Testing of a Quadrupole/Octupole C3/C5 Aberration Corrector
The ideal location for an aberration corrector in an electron-optical column is exactly at the place where the aberration to be corrected is introduced. In practice, this of course cannot be achieved. The resultant separation between where an aberration is introduced and where it is removed produces combination aberrations for all aberrations of higher than first order. A case of particular imp...
متن کاملTuning fifth-order aberrations in a quadrupole-octupole corrector.
The resolution of conventional electron microscopes is usually limited by spherical aberration. Microscopes equipped with aberration correctors are then primarily limited by higher order, chromatic, and misalignment aberrations. In particular the Nion third-order aberration correctors installed on machines with a low energy spread and possessing sophisticated alignment software were limited by ...
متن کاملContrast transfer and resolution limits for sub-angstrom high-resolution transmission electron microscopy.
The optimum imaging of an object structure at the sub-angstrom length scale requires precise adjustment of the lens aberrations of a high-resolution instrument up to the fifth order. A least-squares optimization of defocus aberration C1, third-order spherical aberration C3, and fifth-order spherical aberration C5 yields two sets of aberration coefficients for strong phase contrast up to the inf...
متن کاملParity shift and beat staggering structure of octupole bands in a collective model for quadrupole–octupole deformed nuclei
We propose a collective model formalism which describes the strong parity shift observed in low-lying spectra of nuclei with octupole deformations together with the fine rotational band structure developed at higher angular momenta. The parity effect is obtained by the Schrödinger equation for oscillations of the reflection asymmetric (octupole) shape between two opposite orientations in an ang...
متن کاملBenefits and Possibilities of Cc–Correction for TEM / STEM
During the last decade aberration correction became possible for several types of electron optical instruments. Correctors for the spherical aberration of TEM / STEM objective lenses are now commercially available [1,2]. In case of the SEM [3] and the LEEM / PEEM [4] the correction of both the spherical and the chromatic aberration has been demonstrated in experiments. In spite of these great a...
