Types of sample holders available:
- In-situ heating and biasing:Protochips Aduro 500 (link to in-situ page)
- In-situ liquid and electrochemistry:Protochips Poseidon 510 (link to in-situ page)
- Fischione tomography (+/- 70° tilt)
- Cryo-holder and cryo-transfer holder for looking at frozen hydrated samples.
Typical Applications
- Microstructure and nanostructure: size and morphology
- Cross-section analysis (layer thickness, interface quality)
- Crystal structure determination through electron diffraction
- Defect analysis (dislocations, stacking faults, etc.)
- High resolution images (~0.2 nm resolution)
- Chemical information – composition and bonding (EDS, EELS) from single points, line scans or maps
- Energy filtered imaging (EFTEM)
- Z-contrast imaging using high angle annular dark field (HAADF)
Application Examples
- Z-Contrast Imaging of InAs Quantum Wells in GaAs/AlAs Quantum Wells
- Nanocrystalline Diamond in Ru-Doped DLC Films
- XPS and HR-TEM Analysis of High k Thin Films
