Fundamental of TEM Diffraction of electrons • Matter-wave nature of electrons, • λ=h/p where – h: Planck’s constant – p: momentum, (mv) – λ:wavelength of electrons, • E=1/2 (m0v2) or – λ= h/(2m0eV)0.5 • or λ= h/[2m0eV(1+eV/(2m0c2))]0.5 Relativistic effects • V: accelerating voltage, non-relativistic – 100kV 0.0038nm, – 200kV 0.0035nm – 400kV 0.0023nm • Relativistic wavelength – 200kV 0.0033nm, 2*108m/s – 400kV 0.0016, 2.5*108m/s – Increase in mass m/m0= 1.78 • High speeds, close to speed of light • Microscopes with ultra-high resolution, V=1MV!! Various effects Electron scattering • Interaction of electron with a single isolated atom, • Scattering angle (θ) small • Solid angle, , steradian(sr) • σ=πr2 , cross-section, • d=2πsinθ dθ • dσ/d = 1/(2πsinθ) dσ/dθ – Differential cross section • σ=πrelast2 , relast = Ze/Vθ • σt= σelas + σ inelas Diffraction of light • • • • • The scattered waves are in-phase when the path difference is a nλ L=d sinθ, d: spacing of slits Detector is placed far away at angle of θ Two wavelets traveling in direction (r) are out of phase by 2πL/λ This difference is called a “phasor” Diffraction patterns • Five-slit aperture, • If phasors are 360/5 (o) apart, the resultant vector is zeromagnitude. • Second zero happens at 144o, etc. Finite width slit Airy diffraction • Visible light diffraction produced by 0.5mm diameter circular aperture, • Airy rings: resulted from diffraction from small aperture. Angles in TEM scattering • Coulomb scattering from atoms and electrons, • Higher energy electrons, less scattering, • r=Ze/Vθ • Smaller distances, more scattering • Higher energies, less scattering Wave scattering • Two waves traveling, incident and scattered. • Incident wave, Ψi(r)=exp(iKIr), • Incident wave could be set at Z-axis • Reflected (scattered) wave: Ψsc(r)= Ψ0 f(θ)/r exp(ikr) • Summation of both waves must be valid in SE. • Ψt(r)= Ψ0{exp(iKIr) +if(θ)/r exp(ikr)} Atomic factor • |f(θ)|2= dσ(θ)/d • dσ(θ)/d =e4Z2/(16E02sin4θ/2) • Where E0 in eV, is the incident energy of electrons • dσ(θ)/d λ4Z2/(64π4a02(sin2θ/2 + θ02/2)2) • a0=h2ε/(πm0e2), Bohr radius, around 0.5Ǻ • θ0 describes the electron-electron scattering, about 2 degrees, • When θ bigger than θ0 nuclear scattering is dominant. diffraction • Diffraction of waves in terms of reflection of a plane wave at an angle of “theta”. • The path difference is AB+BC, • Under Brag condition this path difference is a multiple of wavelength. Brag diffraction • K in this image is the same as “g” in other notations. Real image, diffraction Diffraction patterns • Single crystals, regular patterns, • Poly-crystals, dotted pattern • Many-crystals, rings TEM in Electronics • Top: TEM image of 500nm, silicon epitaxy, the bending lines are evident • Right: image of small transistors Ewald sphere • Reciprocal Lattice, Condition: Exp(iK.R)=1 • K.R=2nπ, R: translation vector, K defines the RL. • FCC BCC, SCSC • Incident beam, k=1/λ • Smaller λ, larger radius, • Brag conditions, ki-kd=g • “g” a vector in reciprocal lattice. Finite specimen • Extinction error (s) or deviation parameter. • Diffraction occurs even without Brag’s condition • When ki-kd=g+s, the intensity of the diffraction spots depends on the value of “s”. Finite thickness • Kinetic theory, specimen thickness is split into slices of atomic foils. • Diffraction from solid is the summation of all slices. • Similar to diffraction from slit with a limited width, • Ig(s)=(π/ξg)2 (sin(πts)/πs)2 where ξg is the extinction distance. – Ig is the intensity of the diffracted beam. • Thinner specimens, more deviation from an ideal crystal or Brag diffraction • More chance of electron penetration through the specimen to measure the diffracted beam Diffraction patterns • Diffraction patterns of silicon along 110 direction. • By increasing the sample thickness, DP becomes hazier.
