Electron Microscopy
• beams of electrons are used to produce images
• wavelength of electron beam is much shorter than light, resulting in much higher resolution

definition of resolution
dmin =0.61 n sin
n = refractive index = wavelength
d
note: resolving power independent of lens properties
: for green (500nm) light dmin = c. 0.2 µm

Depth of focus
Optical microscopy vs SEM
• A SEM typically has orders of magnitude better depth of focus than a optical microscope making SEM suitable for studying rough surfaces
• The higher magnification, the lower depth of focus
Screw length: ~ 0.6 cm
Images: the A to Z of Materials

wavelength & voltage
Wavelength () of electrons is determined by the accelerating voltage (V) on the filament from
which they are emitted
= 0.1*(150/V)0.5
. . . thus very high voltages (up to 100 kV) are used to produce small values of (<0.005 nm)
(de Broglie, 1924)

why high vacuum ?
• mean free path of electrons v short in air
- at least 10 -5 mbar usually aimed for
• also
- tungsten filaments burn out in air
- columns must be kept dust free
• achieved by 2-fold pumping:
rotary (mechanical) pump + diffusion pumpor + turbo pump

Electron beam-sample interactions• The incident electron beam is scattered in the sample,
both elastically and inelastically• This gives rise to various signals that we can detect
(more on that on next slide)• Interaction volume increases with increasing acceleration
voltage and decreases with increasing atomic number

Secondary electrons (SE)• Generated from the collision
between the incoming electrons and the loosely bonded outer electrons
• Low energy electrons (~10-50 eV)• Only SE generated close to
surface escape (topographic information is obtained)
• Number of SE is greater than the number of incoming electrons
![Page 71: Me. Bases Feb 2015](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062500/55cf883355034664618e5ef6/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
Topographical Contrast
Topographic contrast arises because SE generation depend on the angle of incidence between the beam and sample.

Backscattered electrons (BSE)
• A fraction of the incident electrons is retarded by the electro-magnetic field of the nucleus and if the scattering angle is greater than 180 ° the electron can escape from the surface

• Orientation of grains
• In-situ experiments:– Reactions with atmosphere– Effects of temperature

X-rays• Photons not electrons• Each element has a
fingerprint X-ray signal• Poorer spatial resolution
than BSE and SE• Relatively few X-ray signals
are emitted and the detector is inefficient
relatively long signal collecting times are needed

Environmental SEM: ESEM
• Traditional SEM chamber pressure: ~ 10-6
Torr
• ESEM: 0.08 – 30 Torr
• Various gases can be used
• Requires different SE detector
![Page 112: Me. Bases Feb 2015](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062500/55cf883355034664618e5ef6/html5/thumbnails/112.jpg)
Why ESEM?
• To image challenging samples such as:– insulating samples– vacuum-sensitive samples (e.g. biological samples)– irradiation-sensitive samples (e.g. thin organic films)– “wet” samples (oily, dirty, greasy)
• To study and image chemical and physical processes in-situ such as:– mechanical stress-testing– oxidation of metals– hydration/dehydration (e.g. watching paint dry)

Summary• Signals:
– Secondary electrons (SE): mainly topography
• Low energy electrons, high resolution• Surface signal dependent on curvature
– Backscattered electrons (BSE): mainly chemistry
• High energy electrons• “Bulk” signal dependent on atomic number
– X-rays: chemistry• Longer recording times are needed
