SEM (scanning electron microscope)
• A type of electron microscope that images the sample surface by scanning it with a high-energy beam of electrons in a raster scan pattern.
![Page 3: CCMR - RET 2008 WEEK 5](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5681610e550346895dd0663e/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
How does SEM work?
• Electron beam interacts with the material, causing a variety of signals to be emitted-revealing details of the material’s shape, homogeneity and elemental composition.

SEM Images
• Low accelerating voltages– finer surface structure
images can generally be obtained.

SEM Images
• High accelerating voltages– the beam penetration
and diffusion area become larger, resulting in unnecessary signals being generated from within the specimen.

A. Electrons are generated by heating a tungsten filament similar to the one in a light bulb.
B. Electrons pass through lenses that condense the beam, remove aberrations and focus the beam
C. The electrons hit the sample - This knocks out inner electrons in the sample - The atom is now in an excited state. An outer electron drops down to the inner energy level releasing energy in the form of x-rays at the same time.
D. X-rays are then reflected through a crystal
E. The reflected rays are then counted and recorded by a detector.

Electron Microprobe Analysis
Since the fingernail is an organic compound, there was alarge carbon peak. Other elements such as calcium and sulfur
might be found in fingernails normally.

STUDY POTENTIAL ELECTROCATALYSTS FOR FUEL CELLS
1. Sputter different concentrations of metals onto a substrate
(Based on lecture by Hector Abruna)
![Page 21: CCMR - RET 2008 WEEK 5](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5681610e550346895dd0663e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
2. Perform Thermal imaging to determine areas of higher electrochemical activity
3. Use scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) to test sample’s ability to oxidize hydrogen/formic acid
and reduce oxygen.

Now we need to determine the chemical composition Of the product before bulk manufacture
Obtain composition with microprobe and Rutherford backscattering (RBS)
SEM-Observe texture and crystal grain size
GADDS-Determine crystal structure
