Fast simultaneous acquisition of low- and core-loss regions in the EELS spectrum from catalyst particles containing the heavy metals Au and Pd using the GIF Quantum system

Methods

Metals such Pd and Pt have been extensively used in the automotive industry as exhaust gas catalyst for pollution control. . . .
EELS: A tool for investigating biological materials

Methods

Electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) is the analysis of the energy distribution of the electrons that have passed through a thin sample and have interacted with it inelastically. . . .
High speed EELS composition analysis, in DualEELS mode, of metal alloy ohmic contacts for the fabrication of III-V MOSFET devices

Methods

As the size of III-V devices decreases, ohmic contacts and their performance becomes increasingly significant. . . .
Atomic level EELS mapping using high energy edges in DualEELS mode

Methods

Over the past few years, with the advancements in aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy, the spatial resolution in scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) has been enormously improved. . . .

Colorized EELS elemental map

Media Image

This work was performed in collaboration with Dr. Phil Rice and Dr. Teya Topuria of IBM Almaden Research Center in San Jose, CA who provided expert assistance as well as the TEM specimen and access to their microscope facilities.

Colorized EELS elemental map of Ti L2,3-edges at 456 eV (green), Mn L2,3-edges at 640 eV (blue), La M4,5-edges at 832 eV (purple) and Sr L2,3-edges at 1940 eV (red).
Jointly acquired HAADF and MAADF signals

Media Image

The HAADF signal (left) contrast is easily interpreted in terms of mass thickness of the material while the diffraction contrast MAADF signal (right) reveals highly detailed structural changes in the material. The optimized geometry makes this possible.
