1 Thomas LaGrange, Ph.D. Faculty Lecturer and Senior Staff Scientist Electron Sources, Optics and Detectors TEM Doctoral Course MS-637 April 16 th -18 th, 2018 Summary Electron propagation is only possible through vacuum. The vacuum level varies between regions of an electron microscope. The highest vacuum level (<10-7 Pa or 10-9 mbar) is the gun where electrons are emitted and accelerated and is required to keep source and accelerator clean. The specimen area also requires a high vacuum level to reduce contamination, which is especially important for chemical analysis that requires the electron beam to rest in the same area for a long time. Hydrocarbon build up (contamination) on the observed area often results from a low system vacuum level. Turbo-molecular and oil-diffusion pumps for high vacuum cannot work against atmospheric pressure and need a mechanical pre-vacuum pump to back them for proper and efficient operation. Electron beams are generated either by thermal emission or field emission. Field emission sources provide lower energy spread and high coherence required high resolution spatial resolution imaging and electron spectroscopy. Electrons are focused by simple round magnetic lenses which properties resemble the optical properties of a wine glass. Unlike in light optics the wavelength (2pm for 300kV) is not thelimiting factorin the spatial resolution. Lens aberrations and instabilities of the electronics (lens currents etc.) limit the resolution of even the best and most expensive transmission electron microscopes to about 50pm. Recording an image means detecting electrons. Depending on their energy electrons can be detected by different detectors. A high detector efficiency and a high signal to noise ratio allows faster recording and reduces the exposure (beam damage) of the sample to the electron beam. A high linearity and high dynamic range permits to quantify images and to record high and low intensities in one image (important for diffraction experiments)

13 3) Electron Optics: Lenses Two types of Lenses Electrostatic lenses Applied potenial and electric field lines define deflection force and focusing Magnetic lenses: Lorentz Force! Variable focus (no moving parts) Tunable correctors (astigmatism) Pole piece metal cone that confines the magnetic field No (simple) divergent lens! multi-poles lenses Image rotation! ) Magnetic Lens: Lorenz force F = Force on electron V = electron velocity B = Magnetic field strength (rotationally symmetric) e = charge of electron = angle to optic axis Interaction of an electromagnetic field on a moving electron: Lorenz force F = -e(vxb) Component of v B: v r << v Magnitude of Force F=-eVBsin Focal length depends on B increasing B lowers f To obtain the same focal at higher electron voltages, B must increase Spiral with radius r = mv r /eb All electrons crossing the axis in one point are focused into the same point,, at frequency (cyclotron frequency) =eb/m Image rotation!
14 3) Electron optics: Magnetic lens focal length Focal Length (f):point on Z axis where initially parallel rays cross the axis after passing through the lens HIGHER LENS STRENGTH = SHORTER FOCAL LENGTH Upper polepiece Lower polepiece High lens strength =>short focal length B = vector parallel to field B r = radial component of field (vector perpendicular to axis) B z = axial component of field (vector parallel to axis) B varies depending on position in lens Force strongest at center of the gap Low lens strength = long focal length 27 3) Magnetic lens: aberrations Field with rotational symmetry Lorenz Force : F=-eVBsin electrons on optical axis: F = 0 electrons not on optical axis : deviated **optical axis is the symmetry axis Scherzer 1936: Magnetic lens with rotational symmetry: Aberration coefficients: C s : spherical C c : chromatic Always positive!! iron Pole piece e-beam coil Resolution limit: D res 3/ 4 1/ Cs Example: = nm, C s = 1 mm D res = = 1.8Å

16 3) Electron Optics: Aberrations-astigmatism Astigmatism: focal length varies in different planes. This causes the image to be blurred along different directions depending on the focus ) Electron Optics: Astigmatism Correctors Astigmatism: Light optics: Correction with cylindrical lenses Electron optics: Correction with quadrupole lenses, 2 quadrupole lenses under 45 degree allow to control strength and direction of correction Electromagnet Beam corrected for Astigmatism Astigmatic beam Direction of Magnetic Force
17 2) Electron Optics: Chromatic Aberration Focal length varies with energy critical for nonmonochromatic beams (advantage for FE guns) ) Electron Optics: Spherical Aberration Focal length varies with distance from optical axis, i.e., rays from the center to edge of the lens have different focal points Image of the object is dispersed (or blurred) along the optical axis Circle of least confusion d s = ½ C s
18 3) Electron Optics: CS-aberration correction - HR-TEM Combination of standard radiallysymmetric convergent lenses with multipole divergent lenses (e.g. tetrapoles, hextapoles) to tune CS => Resolution jumps to sub-å! Example: Σ3 grain boundaries in Al Uncorrected CS-corrected CEOS corrector Oikawa, JEOL 36 4) Detectors 1. Phosphor screen 2. Film 3. Image plates 4. CCD or CMOS cameras 5. YAG scintillator multichannel plates 6. Phosphor photomultipler tube 7. X-ray detectors 8. BSE, SE, STEM detectors I will discuss more in the next lecture about electron guns, optics and detectors 18
19 4) Detectors Dynamic Range The full well capacity is the largest charge a pixel can hold before saturation. When the charge in a pixel exceeds the saturation level, the charge starts to fill adjacent pixels, known as Blooming. Larger pixels have lower spatial resolution but their greater well capacity offers higher dynamic range which can be important for some applications, e.g., electron diffraction Signal to noise The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) determines the ultimate performance of the camera/tem. The SNR value is the ratio of the measured signal to the combined noise, which consists of undesirable signal components arising in the electronic system, and inherent natural variation of the incident photon flux, i.e, photon noise, dark noise, and read noise. 38 DQE Detection quantum efficiency is defined, DQE=(SNR) 2 out/(snr) 2 in and provides a measure of the quality with which incident electrons are recorded. A perfect detector has a DQE of unity and to achieve this all incident electrons must be detected with equal weight. The DQE of real detectors is always smaller than unity reflecting the fact that in practice incident electrons are recorded with different weights. MTF The resolution of a camera within an optical system can be characterized by a quantity known as the modulation transfer function (MTF), which is a measurement of the camera and optical system s ability to transfer contrast from the specimen to the intermediate image plane at a specific resolution. The important parameter for HRTEM simulations 4) Detectors: CCD cameras From CCD Camera (charge coupled device) 1kx1k, 2kx2k, 4kx4k Pixel + high dynamic range, linear, sensitive - Slow (because of readout procedure) - expensive Readout of pixels through charge transfer and 1 pixel readout 41 19
20 Electrons Phosphor Electrons Phosphor 4/11/2018 4) Detectors: CMOS Cameras Pixel Sensor photons to electrons conversion Electron charge to voltage conversion Voltage Signal Output Advantages of CMOS over CCD Larger pixel arrays Faster readout cheaper Direct Detection Disadvantages More thermal noise Lower image quality for same pixel resolution New cameras currently sold by vendors are based on CMOS technology which has almost completely replaced CCD cameras in the market 40 4) Detectors: Pixelated detectors are the future! CHEAP! Direct Detection of single electron events Dynamic Range Up to 24-bit (1:16.7 million), ideal for recording diffraction patterns. Effectively Noise Free Charge Summing Mode mitigate charge sharing effects for maximising both DQE and MTF. Rapid Readout Kilohertz frame rates, minimising effects such as sample drift, and enabling single shot and pump and probe dynamic experiments. Wide energy range and radiation tolerance Minimum 20 kev to 300 kev. No requirement for a beamstop radiation tolerant Merlin from Quantum Detectors (256X256 pixels-55µm ) 41 20
21 Summary 1. TEM require a vacuum for electron propagations High vacuum and clean vacuum system reduce sample contamination 2. Two types of Electron Sources: FEG and Thermionic FEG guns have higher brightness 3. Electrons are focused and manipulated using electromagnetic lens via Lorentz forces Electrons spiral in lens and thus images rotate with changes in lens strength need 3 lens to compensate image rotation with changes in magnification Condenser lens define the probe size and illumination area on the specimen Objective lens is the imaging lens diffraction pattern is formed in the back focal plane Intermediated lens change mode from imaging to diffraction and are used to change magnification and camera length Chromatic and Spherical lens aberrations limit resolution condenser and objective lens astigmatism can be corrected 4.
