1 Introduction to Electron Microscopy-II Prof. David Muller, Rm 274 Clark Hall, Ernst Ruska and Max Knoll built the first electron microscope in 1931 (Nobel Prize to Ruska in 1986) T4 Bacteriophage Electron Microscopy bridges the 1 nm 1 μm gap between x-ray diffraction and optical microscopy

2 Lenses in a Transmission Microscope (and deflection coils to correct their alignment) Gun: electron source If misaligned, low intensity & other alignments may also be out Condensor: uniformly illuminate the sample If misaligned, you will lose the beam when changing magnification Objective: image sample determines resolution. If misaligned, the image will be distorted, blurry. projector: magnifies image/ forms diffraction pattern should not alter resolution. If misaligned, the image will be distorted, diffraction pattern may be blurry.

3 Reciprocity Reciprocity: Electron intensities and ray paths in the microscope remain the same if (i) the direction of rays is reversed, and (ii) the source and detector are interchanged. Proof follows from time-reversal symmetry of the electron trajectories and elastic scattering (to all orders). Reciprocity does not hold for inelastic scattering: Sample is after probe forming optics in STEM - energy losses in sample do not cause chromatic blurring in the image Sample is before the imaging optics in TEM energy losses in the sample do cause chromatic blurring in the image. Imaging thick samples in TEM can be improved by energy filtering (so on the zero-loss image is recorded). This is not needed for STEM. From L. Reimer, Transmission Electron Microscopy

4 Reciprocity TEM STEM Condensor aperture Controls coherence Objective aperture (after sample) Collector aperture Condensor aperture (before sample) Controls resolution Image recorded In parallel Image recorded serially by scanning the source From L. Reimer, Transmission Electron Microscopy

5 CTEM Gun Reciprocity (or STEM vs. CTEM) Reciprocity STEM Detectors Illumination angle α Collector angle Specimen Objective Aperture Viewing Screen β Specimen Objective Aperture Gun Reciprocity (for zero-loss images): A hollow-cone image in CTEM an annular-dark field image in STEM. However: In STEM, energy losses in the sample do not contribute to chromatic aberrations (Strong advantage for STEM in thick specimens)

6 Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy 200 kv Incident Electron Beam (ΔE=1 ev) 1 atom wide (0.2 nm) beam is scanned across the sample to form a 2-D image ADF Signal Er M 4 Edge x y 3 Å Elastic Scattering ~ "Z contrast" Distance (nm) Annular Dark Field (ADF) detector Electron Energy Loss Spectrometer Increasing energy loss Single atom David Sensitivity: Muller 2008 P. Voyles, D. Muller, J. Grazul, P. Citrin, H. Gossmann, Nature (2002) U. Kaiser, D. Muller, J. Grazul, M. Kawasaki, Nature Materials, (2002)

7 Brightness: Not how many electrons, but how many electrons go where we want them to 10 μm 0.1 μm Electric Field Lines Thermionic Sources: Large Source Weak Electric Field Electrons are boiled off in all directions Low brightness Field Emission Guns: Small Source Strong Electric Field Electrons tunnel out along field lines High brightness

8 The Brightness Equation Brightness is the current density (J=ΔI/ΔS) per solid angle (ΔΩ=πα 2 ) where α is the half angle E α p n p t ΔI J β = = -(1) 2 ΔS ΔΩ πα For a thermal source, the electron current has a maxwellian momentum distribution. Transverse momentum Normal to the Field Root mean square angle subtended: hence 2 2 p t = 2mkT p n = 2mkT + 2meV 2 α 2 2 = pt pn = 1 1+ β J ev J ev = + π 1 kt π kt Since ev>>kt ( ev kt ) Brightness increase with beam voltage, decrease with tip temperature

9 Brightness as a limit to Spatial Resolution For current density J and probe diameter d 0, the probe current is ( d ) J 2 I p π 0 2 = -(2) From the Brightness equation (1) we also know J 2 = βπα Hence the probe current depends on π 4 Rearranging, we find the probe size I p = βd0α -(3) I p π β = α d -(4) A small spot size implies a small beam current or large illumination angle

10 Properties of Electron Sources Tungsten Thermionic LaB 6 Thermionic ZrO 2 /W Schottky FEG W Cold FEG Source Size at 10 pa, 100 kev ~6 nm ~ 2 nm ~0.1 nm ~0.03 nm Brightness at 100 kv (A/cm 2 /Sr) 5 x x Energy Spread FWHM (ev) Operating Temp (K) Lifetime hrs hrs 3-5 years >5 years Vacuum (Torr)

11 Tungsten Filament Cheap (~$20) Short lifetime Low brightness Works in poor vacuum

12 Thermionic LaB 6 Filament ~$1000 Longer life, but can be damaged by thermal shock Medium brightness Needs moderate vacuum

13 Schottky Tip design Tip Zr reservoir Expensive (~$20,000?) Long lifetime (years) High brightness Needs good vacuum Tungsten wire filament

14 Electron Scattering Incident electron Valence electrons can be excited (detected as secondary electrons) Elastic scattering (large angle, α Z 2 ) Inelastic scattering (small angle, α Z) Elastic scattering can only change the direction of the electron, Only inelastic scattering can slow it down (by losing energy in the sample)

15 Beam Spreading E 0 =200 kev E 0 =20 kev Electron Range (in μm): R ρ E (density ρ in g/cm 3, E 0 in kev) 1 μm of Carbon R~ 100 μm at 200 kev David Joy s simulation code is available at A more detailed simulator can be found at

16 Beam Spreading For thin films: kev Electrons in Silicon FWHM of feature 90% beam radius b 90% = 625 E 0 ρ A Z t 1.5 Resolution (μm) Si thickness (μm) E 0 in kv t in cm, ρ in g/cm 2 A in g/mol At 100 kv: 0.16 nm for 10 nm thick C 1.8 nm for 50 nm thick C

17 Imaging Buried Atoms (Sb in Si) Sb source turned on here 1 nm No Sb in substrate P. David Voyles, Muller D Muller, J. Grazul, P. Citrin, H. Gossmann, Nature (2002) number of atomic columns Null test: No Sb in substrate 0.8 Si columns Si/Sb columns singly-occupied doubly-occupied normalized intensity 1.4

18 Effect of defocus and aperture size on an ADF-STEM image (200 kv, C 3 =1.2 mm) CTF PSF

19 What happens with a too-large aperture? ADF of [110] Si at 13 mr, C3=1mm Strong {111} fringes Strong {311} fringes 2 clicks overfocus Best 111 and 311 fringes occur at different focus settings If the aperture is too large

20 Aperture Size is Critical (200 kv C 3 =1mm) CTF {220} Si 13 mrad 10 mrad {111} Si k (1/A) 30% increase in aperture size ~50% decrease in contrast for Si {111} fringes

21 Aperture Size is Critical (200 kv C 3 =1mm) Beam Current Enclosed (pa) r 80% = 0.25 nm r 64% = 0.1 nm r 80% = 0.8 nm 10 mrad 13 mrad Radius (nm) All the extra probe current falls into the tails of the probe reduces SNR

22 Finding the Aperture with the smallest probe tails (Kirkland, Fig 3.11) 1 ( ) 2 Δf = 0 λ min. 8 C S α opt = 1.22 λ C3 1/ 4

23 Summary Contrast Transfer Functions: Coherent: α opt 6λ = C 3 1/ 4 d = 0 C λ min. 77 1/ 4 3 3/ 4 Lower resolution, higher contrast Easy to get contrast reversals with defocus Aperture size only affects cutoff in CTF Incoherent: α opt 4λ = C 3 1/ 4 d = 0 C λ min. 43 Higher resolution, lower contrast Harder to get contrast reversals with defocus Aperture size is critical affects CTF at all frequencies 1/ 4 3 3/ 4
