2 Talk outline QUANTAX CrystAlign EBSD System Fast and sensitive EBSD detectors with different resolution SEM images using color-coded orientation contrast Software: simultaneous acquisition and data processing EBSD & EDS integration Offline phase ID & phase discrimination 05/04/2011 2

3 CrystAlign: Experimental setup Electron beam hits sample surface tilted by about 70 The formation of a diffraction pattern (EBSP) takes place in a nm thick layer only. EDX spectra can be acquired simultaneously. A complete interpretation of a single diffraction pattern takes not longer than 1ms. The acquisition time is usually in the range of ms. Numerous interpretations can be used to describe orientation and phase maps. 05/04/2011 3

Completely software controlled Control your detector by only two Ethernet cables: motor, camera, FSE/BSE detectors. Even the tilt angle is available electronically. All electronics inside Whether operation panel, tilt sensor, or signal amplifier all is integrated. 05/04/2011 5

28 ESPRIT EBSD software: Some selected differences Single user interface: separate or combined use of EBSD and EDS for acquisition and post processing Data streaming: nothing is lost, no pattern and no spectrum Data access: at any time Real-time data processing: simultaneous data interpretation Real-time data visualization: synchronously updated pole figures, IPFs, orientation maps, misorientation tools, etc.) Assistants: automatic setup of the EBSD camera; automatic detector calibration Superfast re-indexing: up to points/s (single phase) Intensity simulation: different tools for realistic band intensity prediction 05/04/

29 Phase assignment: EBSD & EDS? Identical chemistry but different crystal structure SiO 2 : TiO 2 : ZrO 2 : CaCO 3 : Fe 2 SiO 4 : Fe x O y : Quartz, Cristobalite, Tridymite Rutil, Anatase Arkelite, Zirconia, Baddeleyite Calcite, Aragonite Ringwoodite, Fayalite Hematite, Magnetite, Wuestite 05/04/

30 Phase assignment: EBSD & EDS? Identical chemistry but different crystal structure SiO 2 : TiO 2 : ZrO 2 : CaCO 3 : Fe 2 SiO 4 : Fe x O y : Quartz, Cristobalite, Tridymite Rutil, Anatase Arkelite, Zirconia, Baddeleyite Calcite, Aragonite Ringwoodite, Fayalite Hematite, Magnetite, Wuestite Identical crystal structure but different composition Periclase (MgO), Galena (PbS), Lime (CaO), Wuestite (FeO) Spinel, Magnetite, Gahnite Calcite (CaCO 3 ), Siderite (FeCO 3 ), Magnesite (MgCO 3 ) Sphalerite (ZnS), Chalcopyrite (CuFeS 2 ), Pyrite (FeS 2 ), Galena (PbS) Baryte (BaSO 4 ), Celestine (SrSO 4 ), Anglesite (PbSO 4 ) 05/04/

31 Differences between EBSD & EDS EBSD is a single-crystalline technique. The crystal must be bigger than the beam diameter. The information depth of EBSD is a few 10nm. The requirements on sample preparation are clearly higher. The information depth is different to EDS (~100 times smaller). EBSD works with unusually highly-tilted samples. Spatial resolution in x and y direction is different. Topography effects are difficult to correct for EDS. EBSD pattern acquisition is usually faster than EDS. Nevertheless, SDD technology fulfills the requirements. 05/04/

32 Challenges Sample preparation (sophisticated, especially for multiphase materials) Local charging (inhomogeneous coating, variation of acquisition conditions) Inconsistent EBSD and EDS data ( matrix effect : particle too small or layers too thin) Intensity prediction of EBSD patterns (instead of band intensities reflector intensities are still in use) Stable data transfer at high speed (especially if EBSD and EDS are collected simultaneously) 05/04/

33 Common application fields Phase identification using single patterns (acquisition time in the scale of several 10 s), EDS spectra captured on certain positions where an indexing was impossible Phase assignment by superposition of predefined element maps 1. Successive measurement of EDS and EBSD maps using the EDS information for phase recognition. 2. Simultaneously measured but subsequently analyzed EBSD and element distribution maps. Reassignment of phases by manually defined EDS thresholds. Disadvantages: 1. One needs to know all required elements. 2. It is comparatively slow. 05/04/

34 EBSD & EDS integration: The difference! In comparison to predefined element distribution maps acquisition and interpretation of complete EDS spectra & EBSD patterns at any point of a map are standard. This permits a subsequent selection of any element distribution, element quantification at any point, processing and post-processing of EDS and EBSD data at any time. The sophisticated combination of EBSD and EDS does not slow down the measurement speed significantly. 05/04/

35 Examples 1. Discrimination of phases forming similar patterns 2. Offline phase identification

36 Friction welded Al-Cu bar Al & Cu have the same crystal structure and similar lattice parameters. Using EBSD they are hard to distinguish. So also orientation analyses are useless Thus, the phase assignment fails and displays mostly Cu which is on first position in the phase list. The orientations however are correctly determined. EBSD phase map Cu Al EDS: element map (Qmap) Nevertheless, the simultaneously acquired EDS data would permit a clear separation of both materials. Use EBSD & EDS together!

37 Real-time interpretation ZEISS Supra 55 VP, 15kV, 15nA 1. Simultaneous acquisition of EBSD patterns and EDX spectra 2.

71 Take home message CrystAlign consists of a powerful combination of hard- and software which attracts attention by totally new approaches. Combined with an easy-to-use interface and special assistants, parallel acquisition, interpretation and visualization of data makes EBSD interesting for everyone. The applied data streaming combined with the superfast reindexing enables multiple and rapid data post-processing. The developed combination of EBSD and EDS points a new level in microanalysis. CrystAlign is presently the only existing analytical system which can simultaneously acquire and quantify EDS spectra and EBSD patterns in a breathtaking speed. 05/04/
