10 Selected Area Electron Diffraction (SAED) 1. Illuminate a large area of the specimen with a parallel beam. 2. Insert an aperture in the first image plane to select an area of the image. 3. Focus the first imaging lens on the back focal plane Al matrix Al-Cu matrix L. Reimer and H. Kohl, Transmission Electron Microscopy, Physics of Image Formation,
11 Selected Area Electron Diffraction Advantages 1. Can observe a large area of specimen with a bright beam 2. Since the image plane is magnified, can easily select an area with an aperture A 50 mm aperture can select a 2 mm area 3. Useful to study thick films, bulk samples, and in-situ phase transformations Spherical Aberrations Disadvantages 1. Cannot select an area less than ~1 mm due to spherical aberrations and precision in aperture position 2. Difficult to record diffraction from individual nanoparticles or thin films Selected Area Aperture 11
12 Nanoarea Electron Diffraction (NAED) Diffraction from a single Au rod 55 nm nanoprobe Technique 1. Focus the beam on the front focal plane of the objective lens and use a small condenser aperture to limit beam size 2. A parallel beam without selection errors A 10 mm aperture can form a ~ 50 nm probe size 3. Useful to investigate individual nanocrystals and superlattices A. B. Shah, S. Sivapalan, and C. Murphy Disadvantages 1. Very weak beam difficult to see and tilt the sample 2. More complex alignment than conventional TEM 3. High resolution images are difficult to obtain Need to switch between NAED and TEM modes) 12

26 e- x 10^3 Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy Focused e-beam Dark-field Bright-field Probe size nm STEM x-rays Thickness <100 nm Incoherent Scattering i.e. Rutherford Coherent Scattering (i.e. Interference) Technique 1. Raster a converged probe across and collect the integrated signal on an annular detector (dark field) or a circular detector (bright field). 2. An incoherent image is chemically sensitive (Z-contrast) under certain collection angles 3. Annular dark field (ADF) STEM is directly interpretable and does not have contrast reversals or delocalization effects like HRTEM 4. STEM resolution is determined by the probe size, which is typically 0.2 to 0.5 nm for a modern FEG STEM. magnetic prism Inelastically scattered electrons 5. Since STEM images are collected serially, the resolution is typically limited by vibrations and stray fields 27

31 1.3 mm ± 10 nm Spherical Aberration 2.4 m Since 1936, Scherzer proved that spherical and chromatic aberrations would ultimately limit the resolution of the electron microscope. The method to correct aberrations was well known, but experimental aberration correctors were not successful until ~1998 due to complexities in alignment and lack of computing power. 32
