Technology and Characterization • of Nano Material Science • Session VI: Nano Material Synthesis (Bottom Up) • Session VII: Nano Technology (Top Down) • Session VIII: Nano Material Characterization 03/08/06
Diffraction and Bragg’s Law Constructive Interference Condition: Phase Difference between beam 1 and 2 = 2dSinq = nl
Why Electron Microscopy • Wave length of Visible light, X-ray and Electron Beam (200KV) • Requirement of Nano Material Characterization http://ncem.lbl.gov
Reciprocal Lattice (K-Space) Fourier Transformation Real Lattice: Reciprocal Lattice:
a3 C n 1/l O 1/k a2 B 1/h A a1 Reciprocal verse Real Lattice 2dSinq = nl 2Sinq/l = n/d = k
What is unique about nano materials • Instead of single point in an infinite bulk material case, The lattice point in reciprocal lattice will change to other shape with finite volume for nano materials. • Since it is Reciprocal space, everything is 1/length scale, the lattice point will change according to object physical size / shape • Reciprocal lattice of 2-D thin film will be rod-like perpendicular to the thin film. • Reciprocal lattice of 1-D fibers will be plate-like perpendicular to the fiber. • Reciprocal lattice of Nano particles will be a sphere-like
Intensity X-ray peak widening verse nano materials grain size • Infinite large single crystals will bring single line of diffraction pattern. • In reality, every peak has its width due to multiple grain size • Half width of peak provide information about grain size • Nano materials will have very wide X-ray peak and from there we can back calculate grain size 2q
