  3. Why is electron micro-diffraction a good idea ? • It provides the strongest continuous signal from the smallest volume of matter known to science. Hence good for nanoscience. • Field emission sources are the brightest continuous particle sources in physics. • The interaction is the strongest of all the long-lived particles.Hence more signal. • Ratio of elastic to inelastic scattering more favorable than X-rays (less damage for bio) • TED is uniquely sensitive to ionicity. • The synthesis of many new nanostructured materials demands new methods for structure analysis using nanoprobes.

  4. S Source image sample sample SA aperture conjugate to sample Source images. Diffraction modes in the TEM/STEM. 1. Source conjugate to detector. SAD. 2. Source conjugate to sample. CBED. S Angular resolution limited by source size. Spatial resolution limited by SA aperture and Cs. Fine detail in disks comes from outside probe ? Spatial resolution limited by probe size.

  5. 1. C2 may be coherently or incoherently filled. 2. CBED provides maximum info from smallest volume. 3. For refinement, strain mapping first - calibrate pattern. 4. We say that P’ and P’ are “conjugate points”.

Both a) selected area electron diffraction (SAED) and b) nanoarea electron diffraction (NED, Koehler) use parallel illumination. SAED limits the sample volume contributing to electron diffraction by using an aperture in the image plane of the image forming lens (objective). NED achieves a very small probe by imaging the condenser aperture on the sample using a third condenser lens (eg M= 1/20). Convergent beam electron diffraction (CBED) uses a focused probe.

  7. Elementary electron diffraction and xtallography. Scattering geometry. 1/dhkl =sqrt(h^2 + k^2 +l^2)/a = q/l =|g| for cubic system, cell const a. Bragg's Law for HEED (small angle approx) q = 2qB = l /dhkl where q is the scattering angle. Electron de-Broglie wavelength is l = 1.22643 / (V + 0.97845E-6 * V^2)1/2 with V the accelerating voltage, and l in nm. dhkl q qB Ewald sphere construction ensures conservation of energy, xtal momentum. (But ! Apply uncertainty principle in beam dirn. for "elastic" scattering . Dt.DKz = 1, where Dt= thickness t. DKz =DSg = 1/t Hence expect strong Bragg beams for a small range of incident beam directions within excitation error DSg.) 1/l Sg g

  8. FOLZ Sg ZOLZ g Phase identification of unknown structures by CBED and SAD. Find space-group by CBED. 2 Use EDX and ELS to determine atoms present and approximate stoichiometery. (Can Nb2O5 be distinguished from NbO2 by EDX ? Probably. 3. Find Bravais lattice from spot patterns with HOLZ ring. Use d=lL/R, L camera length, R spot radius. uH • Find relative position of FOLZ projected onto • HOLZ. This gives centering. (eg I, body centered in recip space, fcc in real) • From FOLZ ring we get c axis dimension. Sg = 1/c = lU2H/2 • From spot measurements get approx cell consts. • More accurate Bravais lattice and cell consts • can be obtained by method of Zuo Ultramic 52, 459 "A new method of • Bravais Lattice determination" using HOLZ lines in central CBED disk. FOLZ • 4. Use the indexed patterns given in Spence and Zuo book ?. (HOLZ points indicated on ZOLZ). • OR:Simulate any pattern (WebEMAPS-Google that !) with random atom posns in known space group. • 5 Use Electron Diffraction data base: http://www.nist.gov/srd/nist15.htm and/or Powder Diffraction File.

  9. NIST Standard Reference Database 15 NIST/Sandia/ICDD Electron Diffraction Database Designed for phase characterization obtained by electron diffraction methods, this database and associated software permit highly selective identification procedures for microscopic and macroscopic crystalline materials. The database contains chemical, physical, and crystallographic information on a wide variety of materials (over 81,534) including minerals, metals, intermetallics, and general inorganic compounds. The Electron Diffraction Database has been designed to include all the data required to identify materials using computerized d-spacing/formula matching techniques. The data for each entry include: * the conventional cell * reduced cell * lattice type * space group * calculated or observed d-spacings * chemical name * chemical and empirical formula * material class indicators * references. . . This database and search software are available in magnetic tape format and in CD-ROM format. Can one Google a set of d spacings ? (Try it now for Si on wireless web)

  10. Ewald sphere in more detail… We can associate an excitation error (in Ang-1) with every Bragg beam in a TED pattern. The Bragg condition corresponds to Sg = 0. In the zone-axis (symmetric) orientation, the excitation error is Sg = l g2/ 2 t FT

  11. WebEMAPS-Google that ! Kirkland's book has source code for ms Approximations for diffracted amplitudes. Kinematic. F0=1 ; (single scattering) Two beam F0=1 - Fg Thick phase grating Multislice Bloch-waves. Spence and Zuo, "Electron Microdiffraction" Plenum 1992 gives Fortran listings and full documentation of multislice and Bloch wave.

  12. Comparison of N-beam, PGA, kinematic approx. for NbO PGA=FT {exp(if(R)t)} Kin=Vg t sin(pSgt)/(pSgt) Phase Exact (N-beam) Note: kin intensity goes as t2 Dyn intens is "sinusiodal". kin phase is linear. X-ray amplitudes don’t involve t at all ! PGA Lynch, Moodie, O'Keeffe Acta A31, 300 Kinematic Amplitude, not intensity. Conclude: Need t < 8 nm Inorg t < 20 nm Org Layer structures help (projection) kin Thickness

  13. Failure of kinematic approx. 111 000 At x1 (b), central beam is strong Image consists mainly of interference between central beam and each beam, producing a faithful image. Increasing thickness Kinematic ~ t2 000 Thickness (A) At x5 (c), central beam is weak. Image consists mainly of interference between beams, producing an image of half-spacings, and rotated.

  14. How do we know these multiple-scattering calcns are accurate ? Because they precisely fit experimental data, as here. (Zuo J. Elec Mic 47, 121)

  15. Conclusion: Accurate quantification of ED data is only possible if multiple scattering is included in calculations But…. for light-element inorganic nanostuctures, kinematic theory is accurate enough to solve structures especially if good data can be obtained in 3D ! MgO (111) systematics CBED fitted at 120 kV using elastic imaging energy filter. (Zuo 97)

  16. Conditions for quantifiable TED. Data must be collected under known conditions. Experimental parameters (thickness, wavelength, etc) must be accurately known if not kinematic.(All beams ~ t^2. Normalise) Xtalline samples must have no defects, uniform thickness, no bending. Scattering must be known to be weak if kinematic theory used. 4. Phase problem may need to be solved. Three-dimensional data may be needed. How these conditions are fulfilled for the 3 quantitative methods. For cryo-em of proteins: Sample in C,N,O,H. All light atoms in ice. Thickness < 20nm. 3D data. Not atomic resolution. Xtal quality problem. Thickness known because one monolayer ! For QCBED. Probe is so small that xtal is perfect. Multiple scattering theory used. UHV TED of Surfaces. Scattering from monolayer is weak. Ignore bulk interaction. "Thickness" known. For HREM + TED. Use observation of forbidden reflections (screw, glide, away from Bragg condition) as test for single scattering. (Find space-group by CBED to indicate which are forbidden ?). At Bragg, forbiddens remain forbidden (black cross) even if dynamical.

  17. Tests for kinematic scattering. Use Friedel's law. If a crystal is known to be acentric, but I(g) = I(-g), there is no multiple scattering. (for acentrics, Vg = V-g*, but V(r) is real). This works for unknown structures. Blank discs. If the intensity variation across CBED discs is constant, this suggests weak scattering. (Wu, Spence Acta A58, 580. "Kinematic and dynamical CBED for solving thin organic films at helium temperature. Tests with anthracene"). Study organic monolayers. Thickness equals known molecular size. Problem - make self-supporting sample ! (eg use ice). Poor sample quality. LB films- mols lie on side. Use wedge-shaped sample. Match image against thickness. Similar for CBED. Inclined, planar-fault on known plane can be used to give thickness on wedge. Accurate fitting to CBED pattern with multiple scattering program will calibrate thickness within < 4 A Find space-group by CBED to locate true forbiddens* (use primitive cell),index pattern. Then forbidden reflections in SAD from thin, bent areas suggest no multiple scattering. Credibility requires the same structure to be determined from the same sample by XRD and TED ! Are the TED intensities consistent and reproducible ? Can you record the same set of TED diffracted intensities twice, from different areas of the same sample ? Remember- modern XRD software always gives some answer ! (R factor ?Potl vs Rho). (*screw, glide)

  18. *centering was used to give orthogonal coords. • Xtal = Bravais lattice + molecule. • There are only 14 possible Bravais lattices, s.t. the surroundings of every point are identical. • Seven primitive cells exist (seven xtal systems :cubic, hexagonal, triclinic ,monoclinic, orthorom, tetragonal, trigonal ) • Get 7 more from centering, P, I, F, C. (primitive, body-centered, centered on every face, centered on two) • The xtal system is defined by the symmetry of the xtal. (eg any xtal with four 3-folds is cubic). • From the cell constants a,b,c, a,b,g the reciprocal lattice is generated by FT. eg a* = b Xc /W. • The point group is based on mirror, inversion, and rotation symetries alone. There are 32. (eg for mols). • Translational symmetry adds the possibility of screw and glide symmetries. There are 230 space groups. • There are 2 types of truly forbidden reflections - Space group (screw,glide axes). Non-spherical atoms. • Third type "forbidden" due to centering is historical artifact, due to method of indexing*. Use primitive cell ! • The f'bdns generated by a centered cell were never there ! Physically, electrons diffract from the primitive cell. • Choice of cell is not unique. Primitive cell contains one lattice point - no forbiddens, all indices occur. • Friedel's law. I(g) = I(-g). Holds only if kinematic (eg X-rays). Not if multiple scattering. Adds 1 symmetry. Elementary Xtallography. A list of absent refln indices due to centering, screw, glide, and many indexed patterns (including HOLZ) is given in Spence and Zuo, Electron Microdiffraction, 1992 . Plenum. Use Int Tables for Crystallography.

  19. Solutions to the phase problem. If diffraction patterns can be collected under kinematic conditions, we must solve phase problem. (Phases can be obtained from FT of HREM image if wpo approx holds. +/- if centric). Modern PX used MAD. (Heavy atom, abs. Most proteins don’t diffract to atomic resolution) Modern inorganic xtallog uses Direct Methods, requires atomic resolution data, <1000 (?) atoms. Then the powerful atomicity constraint can be used. Recently, the simple "charge flipping" algorithm has been developed. ( Oszlanyi and Suto, Acta A60, p.134 (2004) ) Recently the phase problem for continuous scattering from non-periodic objects has been solved experimentally with electrons and X-rays by new iterative methods. ("lensless imaging") see - Weierstall et al Ultramic 90, 171 and Zuo et al Science 300, p. 1419 for electrons and Marchesini et al Phys Rev B68 (140101) (2003) for soft X-rays. These iterative algorithms are developed from work by Fienup, Gerchberg, Saxton and others. If you use XRD software for TED data, be aware of two important differences between XRD and TED data: 1. For XRD, all reflections are collected at the Bragg condition. Not so for zone-axis TED. 2. For XRD, reflections are angle-integrated. Not so for TED or, usually, CBED.

  20. A new algorithm for xtal phase problem: "Charge flipping"Oszlányi Acta A60 134, '04. • Start with measured |Fhkl|, random phases. • Transform. 3 Set Im(r)=0. Find x~20% of largest positive r, keep them. (Support estimate) 4 Reverse sign (flipping) of all other r(r) below threshold x. 5. Go to 2. r 1 R factor C6Br6 exptl data *Unlike direct methods does not need known scatt factors ! *flipping finds support ! *Converges to same structure indep of initial phases. x was reduced here Iteration number

  21. Solve structure of C6Br6 by flipping, using experimental X-ray data. (Wu, O'Keeffe, Spence, Groy. Acta A In press 04. Use fractional a, since F0 unknown) [010] 400th iteration, R = 0.029 24 peaks with the highest density • How do we know if a peak is an atom ? If stoichiometery, space group known, choose n largest. • If not, repeat with different starting random phases. Add results. Noise peaks decrease, atoms don’t. • Dioxane (SnBr4) also solved. Atomic numbers given by height of peaks (if normalised). • Gives correct atomic coords. • Needs atomic resolution data. If not, see heavy atoms. Works for non-periodics to find support, like shrinkwrap. • Wont work in 2D for xtals (not enough zero-density). Does work with oversampled 2D non-periodic (more zero density)

  22. Imaging theory - needed because collection of 3D diffraction data is difficult Flipping doesn’t work in 2D (and requires atomic resolution data). Abbe interpretation. Inside sample Exit-face wave Diffraction pattern Image. Exit-face wavefunction (may be dynamical) Oops ! Double diffraction Electron beam (Lens phase shift) 1. For a perfect lens, image is magnified copy of exit face wave-function. 2. This is a faithful representation of the projected potential only if kinematic, and flat Ewald sphere.(wpo) 3. FT of such an exit face wave wave gives "structure factors" Vg. propn to diff. pattern spot intensities. 4. If multiple scattering inside sample, FT of exit face wave still gives d.p. But spots are not stucture factors.

  23. Electron/specimen interaction: refraction with locally varying index: Incident wave. Plane of constant phase is flat. { electrons go faster along atoms, with higher kinetic energy, shorter wavelength, more wiggles. sample Exit wave: Phase front has wobble -i + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + kin Representation on argand diagram: Wave has a range of phase values In kinematic theory, phase is 90o wrt (000) (000) 1

  24. The dynamical exit-face wave. Kinematic scattering FT plane wave Thin ! Image (copy of exit face wavefunction) Exit face wavefunction (Faithful projection) Diffraction pattern (Structure factors) FT Multiple (dynamic) scattering plane wave Thick ! Image Exit face wavefunction (Not faithful projection. Correct period) Diffraction pattern (Not structure factors !) Note: FT relationship between exit face and diffraction pattern is preserved with multiple scattering

  25. HREM imaging theory for weak phase objects. Exit face wavefield Weak scattering Diffracted amplitude Add lens, aperture 4 Image amplitude Image intensity Notes: dark atoms predicted on bright background at Scherzer focus, where - 90 degree lens phase-shift adds to - 90 degree scattering phase (i = exp i p/2). Then replace P(u,v) exp() in 4 by -i to give image I(x,y) = 1 - 2 sfp(-x,-y) for ideal lens without aperture.

  26. Aluminum Oxygen 85 pm Intensity in image 1 A B Position WPO Not WPO Contrast = A/B must be small for WPO. High contrast - not a weak phase object ! "Multiple scattering is the usual condition in electron diffraction" Kisielowski et al NCEM LBL Ultram 2001.

  27. Diffractograms for wpo. Finding structure factor phases from HREM images. The complex Fourier transform of the WPO image intensity can be obtained in a computer as where 2 where D, C are constants. Hence if c is known, the phase of the fourier coefficients of the projected potential can be found. These phases are 0 or 180 degrees (wrt some origin) for centric projections

  42. The challenge of electron crystallography. In the age of nanoscience, there is an urgent need for a method of rapidly solving new , inorganic nanostructured materials. Many are fine-grained, light element, crystallites which cannot be solved by XRD. The unsolved challenge of 50 years is….. *To collect three-dimensional diffraction data under kinematic conditions. Then not restricted to short c axis. Note: centers of each CBED disc in a small-probe pattern provide a point pattern ! Blank disks suggest single-scattering conditions. *To solve the same unknown structure first by TED and then by XRD, get same result. • The difficulties are • Goniometers. Loss of area during tilt. • Contamination • Automation of tilt and data collection. • Radiation damage. GO TO http://www.public.asu.edu/~jspence/ElectrnDiffn.html For free software !

  43. (0 2 0) (4 0 0) (0 0 0) Convergent Beam Electron Diffraction displays a rocking curve simultaneously in every diffracted order. The rocking curve is the change in intensity of a particular diffracted beam with variation of the incident beam direction. Each point in the (000) central disc represents a different incident beam direction. One such point is coupled to conjugate points in all the other discs differing by reciprocal lattice vectors.
