  4. Why TEM? The uniqueness of TEM is the ability to obtain full morphological (grain size, grain boundary and interface, secondary phase and distribution, defects and their nature, etc.), crystallographic, atomic structural and microanalytical such as chemical composition (at nm scale), bonding (distance and angle), electronic structure, coordination number data from the sample. TEM is the most efficient and versatile technique for the characterization of materials. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqLlgIaz1L0 see atoms by TEM

  6. What is TEM? Lecture-6 Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM)Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy (STEM) • TEM is an microscopy technique that functions similar to a light microscope, which uses a beam of exited electrons as a light source to provide mophorlogical, compositional and crystallographic information of an ultra thin specimen. • The image is formed by the interaction of the electrons transmitted through the specimen, which is then magnified and focused on a fluorescence screen containing a layer of photographic film. • What is a TEM? • How it works - gun, lenses, specimen stage • Resolution http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxEVsnZT8L8 ~2:20-2:40 fluorescence screen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3uU8c376Aw&list=PLIRAzwu_npNcnPGi2sOk2aaNaS3vzU-N1 Milestones of Science: Ernst Ruska and the Electron Microscope at~5:00-7:15 and ~9:03-9:23

  9. Vacuum The electron microscope is built like a series of vessels connected by pipes and valves separate all the vessels from each other. The vacuum around the specimen is around 10-7 Torr. The vacuum in the gun depends on the type of gun, either around 10-7 Torr (the tungsten or LaB6 gun) or 10-9 Torr (for the Field Emission Gun). The pressure in the projection chamber is usually only 10-5 Torr (and often worse). This pressure is not very good because the projection chamber holds the negatives used to record images. Even though we dry the negatives before putting them in the microscope, they still will give off so many gases that the vacuum in the projection chamber never gets very good.

  10. How it works? The Lenses in TEM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2A6KeWrqeM&feature=related at~0:20-0:44 Condenser lenses(two)-control how strongly beam is focused (condensed) onto specimen. At low Mag. spread beam to illuminate a large area, at high Mag. strongly condense beam. Objective lens-focus image (image formation) and contribute most to the magnification and resolution of the image. Magnetic material Running water B Cu coils Four lenses form magnification system-determine the magnification of the microscope. Whenever the magnification is changed, the currents through these lenses change. at~5:50-7:00 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3uU8c376Aw&list=PLIRAzwu_npNcnPGi2sOk2aaNaS3vzU-N1

  12. Why Electrons? Resolution In expression for the resolution (Rayleigh’s Criterion) r = 0.61/nsin Green Light ~400nm n~1.7 oil immersion r~150nm (0.15m) Electrons -wavelength,=[1.5/(V+10-6V2)]1/2 nm V-accelerating voltage, n-refractive index -aperture of objective lens, very small in TEM  sin  and so r=0.61/ ~0.1 radians 200kV Electrons ~0.0025nm n~1 (vacuum) r~0.02nm (0.2Å) 1/10th size of an atom! UNREALISTIC! WHY? 0.1 radians ~ 5.5o -beam convergence

  13. Resolution Limited by Lens Aberrations Chromatic aberration is caused by the variation of the electron energy and thus electrons are not monochromatic. point is imaged as a disk. Spherical aberration is caused by the lens field acting inhomogeneously on the off-axis rays. rmin0.91(Cs3)1/4 Practical resolution of microscope.

  29. Lattice Vectors Real space lattice vector corresponds to directions in crystal and it can be defined as: r=ua+vb+wc a,b and care unit cell vectors, u,vandware components of the direction index[uvw]. A reciprocal lattice vector can be written as: g*=ha*+kb*+lc* a*,b*andc*are reciprocal unit vectors, and h,k and lare the Miller indices of the plane (hkl).

  30. Effect of Spacing of planes in Real Space on Length of Reciprocal Vector, g - [111] - (111) - d111 In a crystal of any structure, ghkl is normal to the (hkl) plane and has a length inversely proportional to the interplanar spacing of the planes. http://www.matter.org.uk/diffraction/geometry/reciprocal_vector_g.htm
