- aims
- State-of-the-art electron microscopy and in particular transmission electron microscopy (TEM) allows for elucidating the structure/property relationship of modern materials at the atomic scale. The further downscaling of functional materials as, e.g., nanomaterials and optical and electronic devices, demands the characterization of both, structure and chemical composition at the nanometer scale and even below.
The target of the course is to familiarize the students with the techniques of state-of-the-art electron microscopy. Particularly, the manifold capabilities of TEM and scanning electron microscopy are discussed. Concerning TEM the focus is drawn on the electron diffraction techniques as well as on the imaging techniques as, e.g., diffraction contrast imaging, high-resolution TEM imaging, high-angle annular dark-field (HAADF) scanning TEM imaging, energy-filtered TEM (EFTEM) imaging, electron holography, and electron tomography. Moreover the spectroscopic methods for chemical analysis, viz., electron energy loss spectroscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy are introduced.
