4 STEM v TEM STEM = TEM, but with the optics reversed (if you ignore inelastic scattering) BF, DF, HREM can be done in a STEM almost the same as a TEM However: The imaging is serial as against parallel, so in general has more noise and lower signals Scan coils and electronics involved, which leads to noise Some types of imaging can be done easier in a STEM than a TEM (they have all been done in both) STEM needs a small source (demagnified further) Some manufacturers have decided to reinvent the wheel

15 Bright Field & Dark Field Pick different parts of scattering space with different detectors. probe Caveat: do not blindly use Zcontrast as a term without thinking, common error sample unscattered beam Bragg beams diffuse & HOLZ BF ADF HAADF P. M. Voyles, 5/3/12 15

16 Partitioning Signal in Scattering Space Scattering from one atom is proportional to scattering factor f e (q) low-angle scattering (CTEM) C, Z=6 Si, Z=14 Cu, Z=29 Ge, Z=32 Sn, Z=50 Pb, Z= high-angle scattering ADF-STEM C, Z=6 Si, Z=14 Cu, Z=29 Ge, Z=32 Sn, Z=50 Pb, Z=82 f e (q) 6 4 f e (q) q (Å -1 ) q (Å -1 ) BF CTEM involves mostly lowangle scattering: Cu & Si cross. ADF-STEM involves highangle scattering only. P. M. Voyles, 5/3/12 16

17 Partitioning Signal in Scattering Space q = Å -1 q = Å -1 low-angle cross section high angle cross section atomic number (Z) atomic number (Z) 80 sensitive to electron shell filling, complicated (also diffraction & channelling, later) monotonic, proportional to Z 2 Rutherford billiard ball scattering P. M. Voyles, 5/3/12 17

18 Z-contrast Scattering scales as ~Z 1.7 for common scattering angles Images are readily interpretable Images contain some chemical information Many problems with this simple picture (good enough for Govt work) E. J. Kirkland, Advanced Computing in Electron Microscopy (Plenum, 1998). P. M. Voyles, 5/3/12 18

19 Caveat Consider via Fermi s Golden Rule Signal = ρ(r) <f V i> 2 Z-contrast only corresponds to the <f V i> 2 contribution (HOLZ, phonons) But ρ(r) comes from dynamical diffraction True Z-contrast occurs iff ρ(r) has a simple form, which it does in special cases

Dots are arrowed. 20 nm 20 nm 20 nm Low-angle annular dark field showing strain contast ASU Winter School 2013 High-angle annular dark field showing mostly Z contrast

21 Contrast Reversals in Thick Samples at 200kV ADF-STEM (φ c >45 mr) ADF-STEM (φ c >75 mr) No more diffraction contrast Signal in W plug not monotonic, could be mistaken for voids Effect reduced by increasing the collector angle David Muller

33 Summary: STEM Similar signals to TEM, often easier to obtain some types Parallel collection of different signals, but serial detection Easier for EELS/EDS mapping and similar Annular dark-field is not as simple as often thought, serious misinterpretations exist in the current literature Strain/diffraction contrast effects in ADF Approaches Z-contrast in HAADF Sometimes not Z-contrast
