Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy: Fundamentals and Applications
Helmut Kohl

Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster, Wilhelm-Klemm-Straße 10, 48149 Münster,
Germany
The energy loss spectrum taken in a transmission electron microscope contains a wealth of
information about the irradiated specimen. Recently very low energy losses (below 1 eV) have
been detected to obtain information about the (optical) phonons in the specimen. Slightly
larger losses, due to interband excitations, can be used to determine the band gap in
semiconductors and insulators. Frequently a large plasmon loss peak occurs at an energy loss,
which is related to the electron density in the specimen.
The onset of an inner-shell loss occurs at the binding energy of an inner-shell electron.
Therefore it can be used to identify the elements in the irradiated area. Using the integrated
intensities under the peak, these features are routinely used to determine the chemical
composition of the irradiated area. The fine structure just above the onset of the edge yields
important information about the bonding of the excited atom to its neighbors.
The characteristic features in an energy loss spectrum can also be used to obtain images of the
local properties with high spatial resolution. This can be done in two different ways:
1) Focussing the incident beam into a small spot and scanning it over the specimen. This
is the procedure used in a Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope (STEM). For
every pixel one obtains a complete spectrum.
2) Using an imaging energy filter in a conventional transmission electron microscope to
form an image using only the characteristic loss electrons to form an image. Such
Energy Filtering Transmission Electron Microscopes allow the fast acquisition of
images with large pixel numbers (e.g. 2k by 2k or 4k by 4k)).
We shall give an overview of the physical principles of these methods and present some
recent applications.

Advances in model based quantification of EELS spectra

Acquiring EELS data from a given sample can be considered as a first step in the process
of obtaining quantitative information about the sample. Often chemical profiles or
stoichiometric ratios are needed and should be accompanied by estimates of the precision of
the measurement. In this talk I will briefly review the conventional data treatment of EELS
spectra and propose an alternative method based on parameter estimation theory. The theory
starts from a model description of the experiment and estimates the parameters via an iterative
procedure taking into account a model for the counting noise. The result of this process is an
estimate of the parameters which often link to e.g. stoichiometric ratios, an indication of the
validity of the used model and an estimate of the precision. Treating the data in this slightly
more formal way results in an improvement of the precision of more than a factor 3 over
conventional treatment while solving the issue of thickness related bias. The whole process is
incorporated in the open source software EELSMODEL [1,2] and the general procedure will
be demonstrated.
As a side note, the usefulness of principal component analysis, which is popular to filter
noise in EELS spectra, will be discussed and compared against model based fitting of spectra.

Probing optical properties using valence EELS
Michael Stöger-Pollach
University Service Centre for Electron Microscopy, Vienna University of Technology, Wiedner
Hauptstraße 8-10, 1040 Vienna, Austria
Studying optical properties on the nano-scale is requested in semiconductor science as
well as in photonics. Whereas the bulk properties determine the optical behavior in
semiconductor science, the dielectric response of surfaces is key for the optical properties
requested in photonics. The advent of monochromators in transmission electron microscopy
(TEM) was the door opener for studying these optical excitations by means of valence
electron energy loss spectrometry (VEELS).
This lecture will give an overview the latest research high-lights in VEELS in terms of
semiconducting and photonic devices. A comparison of electron beam techniques with optical
measurements will be given in terms of spatial and energy resolution, and momentum transfer.
We will discuss the influence of the development of latest generation monochromators on the
spectral resolution and discuss the physical limitations like energy losses caused by the

When trying to understand the VEELS spectrum, many excitation processes have to be
taken into account: a) excitation of interband transition – whose recombination leads to the
excitation of cathodoluminescence (CL) [1] – E H[FLWDWLRQ RI ýHUHQNRY UDGLDWLRQ &5 DV
soon as the swift probe electron travels faster than the phase velocity of light inside the
specimen [2], c) excitation of transition radiation (TR) being a dipole radiation caused by the
electron – mirror charge dipole at the sample surfaces [3], d) excitation of the volume
plasmon (VP) being a longitudinal charge density oscillation, e) surface plasmon excitation
(SP) being a transversal charge density oscillation [4], and f) phonon scattering (Phon.) being
an electron beam induced thermal vibration of the rystal lattice. Consequently we discuss the
respective physical basics and give guide lines under which circumsances these excitations are
of importance.

A better understanding of nonuniform temperature distributions in operating
microelectronic devices will lead to more efficient and robust designs. Existing thermometry
methods suffer fundamental limitations. Optical thermometers are diffraction-limited and thus
cannot measure nanoscale thermal gradients, and contact methods perturb the temperatures of
small systems. Here we describe an electron energy loss spectroscopy based non-contact
thermometry technique that achieves nanometer-scale resolution with an accuracy of 10% and
a statistical precision of 3 K/Hz1/2 [1]. As in a classical mercury thermometer, the temperature
is determined by quantifying the density changes resulting from thermal expansion. Relating the
bulk plasmon energy to the density, we find that temperature change ΔT is given by:
(1)
where α1ΔT + α2ΔT describes the material’s thermal expansion per unit length and E is the
plasmon energy. We produce a temperature map by rastering the electron beam across the
sample and measuring the plasmon energy as a function of position.
Figure 1 shows a temperature map of a Joule-heated aluminum wire. The map reveals that
the device reaches its highest temperature (440±40 K in a 66×66 nm2 region) away from the
room-temperature electrical contacts. Such temperature maps are possible for many types of
devices, as a variety of technologically-important metals (e.g. W, Ag) and semiconductors (e.g.
Si, GaN) have sufficiently sharp plasmon resonances to serve as their own thermometers.

ZnO can be alloyed with CdO resulting in band gap tuning from UV to the visible range
as shown by recent optical measurements of ZnCdO, see e.g [1]. Concurrently, there is an
unresolved debate on the limitations of the single phase ZnCdO alloying, because of different
crystallographic structures of its binary components, calling for applications of high resolution
techniques and cross-methodological interpretations. In this work, the band gap measurements
obtained by STEM-EELS were compared to the results obtained by photoluminescence (PL)
and ab-initio calculations, as well as experimental observations of valence band shift by X-ray
photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).
ZnCdO samples were prepared by metal organic vapour phase epitaxy (MOVPE) on cAl2O3 substrates buffered with a ZnO film. In these samples, in accordance with our initial xray diffraction measurements, Cd was successfully incorporated into the wurtzite ZnO matrix
with concentrations up to 25%. Further, for TEM studies, samples were prepared by
mechanical cutting, grinding/polishing, and ion beam thinning. The band gap studies with
high spatial resolution were performed in an FEI Titan 60-300 probe-corrected and
monochromated STEM. The critical voltage for generation of Cerenkov radiation in ZnO is
79 kV, so the microscope was operated in low-voltage mode with a high-tension of 60 kV. At
this high tension, a spatial resolution better than 1.4 Å can be achieved for probe-corrected
STEM imaging. The energy resolution for our monochromated EELS measurements was
approximately 0.15 eV.
As a result, the assessments of the ZnCdO band structure obtained by various methods
(STEM-EELS, PL, XPS, as well as ab-initio calculations) were interpreted in a combination,
providing new arguments for the ZnCdO alloying debate.

Nanostructural development in graphitising and non-graphitising carbons

Carbon materials are highly versatile owing to the strong dependence of their physical
properties on the ratio of sp2 (graphitic) to sp3 (adamantine) bonds. Graphitic carbons have a
variety of forms with various degrees of ordering ranging from microcrystalline graphite to
glassy carbons. Amorphous carbons can have any mixture of sp3, sp2 and, in some cases, sp1
bonded carbon sites with the additional possible presence of hydrogen, nitrogen or boron. The
structure of amorphous or poorly crystalline carbon materials are difficult to study using
conventional characterisation tools; techniques which have been successfully applied include
neutron scattering, nuclear magnetic resonance, (uv) Raman spectroscopy and EELS.
This work represents a comprehensive study of a large set of both graphitizing and nongraphitising carbons as a function of heat treatment from a few hundred degrees Centigrade up
to 3000 oC using a combination of density measurements, X-ray and electron diffraction, high
resolution TEM and low loss and core loss EELS [1,2]. Of interest is the variation in plasmon
energy with heat treatment temperature and its relationship to density as well as the ratio of
sp2 to sp3 bonded carbon species derived from the carbon K-edge using a heavily revised
analytical procedure [2]. Of particular interest is the suggestion that the intrinsic structure of
non-graphitising carbons is based on the inclusion of fullerene-like units and this hypothesis is
tested against this present dataset and a fullerene or non-planar sp2 contribution is identified.
Overall using these techniques an insight into the nanostructural development of these
two very different classes of carbon materials is obtained and this had very wide applicability
to many engineering problems ranging from nanomaterial synthesis, coating deposition,
catalysis and combustion. A number of specific examples are given: firstly, the analysis of
new types of porous carbon derived from the pyrolysis of biomass that are used as
chromatographic stationary phase materials [3], and secondly the analysis of radiation damage
in nuclear graphites [4].

Kesterite Cu2ZnSn(Sy-1Sey)4 (CZTSSe) is a promising candidate to replace chalcopyrite (CuIn1xGaxSe2 – CIGS) as absorber layer in thin film solar cells due its composition of more earth
abundant materials. However, the main limitation of this technology so far is the lack of open circuit
voltage (Voc) compared to CIGS. The reasons for this high Voc deficit are not totally clear yet. In
polycrystalline thin film absorber material a benign passivation of grain boundaries and interfaces is
crucial to achieve high device performance because grain boundaries and interface can act as highly
active recombination paths.[1,2] In this work we show that low temperature post deposition
annealings (PDA) after a specific surface etching can increase device performance of pure selenide
CZTSe based solar cells from around 2% power conversion efficiency to over 8%, and further
increase Voc of almost 100 mV. Combining this PDA with a tailored surface modification of the
CZTSe absorber power conversion efficiency could be further increased to over 10% with a
remarkable Voc of up to 450 mV; one of the highest values reported so far. Prior X-ray
photoemission spectroscopy studies show that the 200ºC PDA promotes a Cu diffusion towards the
bulk together with an Zn enrichment of the surface, thus creating a Cu poorer and Zn richer surface,
which is crucial for the formation of a benign junction with the n-type CdS buffer and i-ZnO/ ITO
window layers normally used in this technology. TEM microstructural investigations of the
CZTSe/CdS interface combined with EELS shows an increased Cu content inside the CdS layer
which further helps the formation of a Cu-depleted surface and seems to play an important role in
the formation of the pn-heterojunction. Furthermore, EELS elemental maps reveal that the
beneficial PDA and surface modification not only changes the CZTSe absorber surface, however,
also the grain boundaries are largely affected. Before PDA Cu rich grain boundaries are observed.
After PDA this is not evident, thus indicating grain boundary passivation, since Cu rich grain
boundaries are reported to be detrimental to device performance.[3] Understanding the beneficial
effects of post deposition annealing together with surface modifications on device performance
thanks to this detailed study using TEM and EELS helps to further develop tailored surface and
grain boundary passivation strategies to improve device performance of this promising technology.

Ternary spinel oxides (mMn2O4, m = Co, Ni, Zn) attract extensive interests in the Li-ion
battery applications due to their natural abundance, low lithiation potential, richer redox
reactions from multiple cations and better electrical conductivity than manganese oxides [13]. In our study, Fe-doped spinel NiMn2O4 with a 3D macro/mesoporous network was
fabricated by a nanocasting method. The hierarchical porosity and the cation distribution on
preferential sites can be tailored. Figure 1a shows the distribution of Mn, Ni and Fe in a
selected region of the sample obtained by EFTEM. Fe-dopant preferentially occupied in the
tetrahedral sites in the spinel structure to prevent the migration of Mn3+ and hence stabilized
the cubic structure. This was proofed by the valence-changing trend obtained from the
combined XPS and EELS characterization. Cation and oxygen edges are shown in Figure 1b.
The valence of the cations can be determined by the near edge features. FexNi1-xMn2O4 has a
good cycle life stable for 1200 cycles at a high current density. This good Li+ storage
performance could be attributed to the improved electrical conductivity by Fe-doping and the
macro/mesoporous network composed by nano-crystals.

The current state-of-the-art aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron
microscope (STEM) equipped with electron/X-ray detectors allows us handy for atomic scale
imaging and elemental/electronic structural analysis, due to its high-brightness electron source
and highly focused subatomic probe size available. In this tutorial talk, we start with the basic
concept of energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy, followed by introducing its several
advanced application examples.
The atomic column-by-column STEM-EDX spectral imaging (SI) technique
inevitably leads to several drawbacks associated with a high density of focused electron probe
and its small illuminating area (i.e., a small number of sampling points), so that the probe can
drill the sample or otherwise the obtained data may contain high level noise accordingly. In
addition, the obtained elemental distribution is not always a simple projection map of the
structure for the sample thicker than a certain thickness, because of the spread of electron
waves propagating through the sample.
We hence propose an alternative site-selective microanalysis method, instead of
exploiting the atomic resolution in real space, using inelastic scattering by channeled electrons
in a crystal. The method takes advantage of the high angular resolution in reciprocal space
intrinsic to TEM [1].
The concept of the present element/site selective microanalysis is based on the
scheme where the incident electron beam is rocked about a pivot point on a sample, acquiring
the spectroscopic data as functions of the diffraction condition with respect to the incident
beam direction. The sample orientation and diffraction condition is monitored by the beam
rocking pattern recorded by the annular dark-field (ADF) or backscattered electron (BSE)
detector. The present method is an extension of ALCHEMI/HARECXS [2,3], thereby
exploiting element/site selective chemical information of the material associated with the
different electron densities propagating along the specific atomic planes/columns by varying
Bloch wave symmetry excited in the crystalline sample even from nanoscale areas. The
acquired datasets of fluorescent x-ray intensities bear information on the site occupancies of
the excited elements of interest, which can be quantitatively analyzed by comparing with
theoretical simulations, based on the dynamical elastic/inelastic electron diffraction theories
[4,5].
We will show several examples where the site occupancies of trace elements are
quantitatively determined, which are not accessible by the atomic resolution STEM-EDX-SI.

Interconnects for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) has been a part of the research conducted
at Sandvik Materials Technology (SMT) for more than a decade. In this study Ce/(Co-Mn)
coated AISI 441/0C365 strip steel has been characterized by scanning transmission electron
microscopy (STEM) and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS), in collaboration with the
Kelvin Nanocharacterisation Centre at Glasgow University, in order follow the oxidation
process. After only 30 s heat treatment at 800˚C (Figure 1) we have been able to identify an
upper oxide (UO) layer that is a fully developed (Co,Mn)-spinel containing Mn3+ and to 1/3
Co2+ + 2/3 Co3+ based on the white line ratios of Co L3/L2 and Mn L3/L2 [1-2]. The oxidation
front on the other hand is dominated by Co2+ and Mn2+. This difference was also confirmed by
the fine structure of the O K-edge where the first peak, characteristic for the trivalent species
in spinels [3], was completely missing at the oxidation front.

Utilizing the phases in electron probes for chiral spectroscopy
Juan Carlos Idrobo
Center of Nanophase Materials Sciences, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, TN 37831, USA
Until now, the goal of aberration-correction in scanning transmission electron microscopy has
been to produce electron probes with no phase. Phases increase the size of electron probes and
result in images and spectra with lower spatial resolutions. Here, I will show that phases in
electron waves, produced by aberrations in the lenses, can actually be beneficial when probing
the symmetry of materials. I will present calculations that show that lens aberrations are intrinsic
generators of angular momentum in waves. I will discuss how aberrations can be used to probe
the symmetry of materials at the atomic scale by showing experiments of chiral magnetic signals
in materials. This work was supported by the Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences (CNMS),

Energy-loss magnetic chiral dichroism (EMCD) is the electron wave analogue of X-ray
magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD). It offers the possibility to study magnetic properties at
the nanoscale in a transmission electron microscope (TEM) [1]. In a ‘classical’ EMCD setup,
the sample is illuminated with a plane electron wave and acts as a beam splitter. Although this
method is meanwhile well established, only very few EMCD spectra were so far obtained
from individual nanoparticles [2, 3].
We report on EMCD measurements on individual FePt nanocubes (cf. Fig. 1) with a size of
roughly 30 nm and compare our experimental findings with simulations. The dichroic signals
at the L3 and L2 edges are expected to be as small as 10 % of the total scattering intensity. Our
experiments are supported by simulations utilizing the WIEN2k program package [4], based
on which FePt cubes with a thickness, that should provide maximal EMCD signals [5], are
chosen for the experiments. The experiments indeed reveal a small but reproducible dichroic
signal (cf. Fig. 2) that agrees well with the results of the theoretical calculations.

The Verwey transition in magnetite is associated with an order-of-magnitude increase in
magnetocrystalline anisotropy and a change in easy axis from cubic <111> to monoclinic
[001] below ~120 K [1]. Numerous studies have suggested that magnetic domain walls in
magnetite can interact with the ferroelastic twin walls that form at low temperature because
the monoclinic [001] direction can lie along any cubic <100> direction. However, the nature
of these interactions remains controversial and the crystal structure, Fe2+/Fe3+ distribution and
magnetic properties of magnetite at low temperature are poorly understood.
We have used conventional and convergent-beam electron diffraction in the transmission
electron microscope (TEM) to show that the space group of magnetite below the Verwey
transition temperature is monoclinic Cc with a small distortion from cubic symmetry [2]. We
find that the choice of monoclinic c-axis is affected by the strength of the magnetic field of
the microscope objective lens.
We have also used off-axis electron holography and Lorentz imaging to study the
nucleation and motion of magnetic domain walls and transformation twins in synthetic multidomain magnetite during cycling through the Verwey transition [2,3]. We observe clear
interactions between magnetic domain walls and twin domain walls. Most of the twin
domains have uniaxial magnetic domains along the monoclinic [001] direction. Whereas most
180˚ magnetic domain walls that intersect ferroelastic twin walls are mobile, some are pinned
at the tips of needle twins. Zigzag magnetic domains, which are associated with ab-plane
twinning along the c-axis and caused by slight deviations of the magnetic moments from the
c-axis towards the intermediate b-axis, are observed only in thinner regions of specimens,
suggesting that the specimen thickness may influence their formation. We also find magnetic
domains formed by “strain-contrast-free” twins, which are not visible in conventional TEM
images. Such submicron-sized magnetic domains with uniaxial anisotropy are observed
widely and may have a strong influence on the low temperature magnetic properties of
magnetite.

Quantitative chemical characterization of mixtures of light and heavier elements using
EDS at high spatial resolution in the electron microscope is a challenge. While quantitative
bulk analysis by EDS in SEM has been developed extensively, quantitative EDS of
nanostructures and in transmission is still being explored. Complicating factors are e.g.
absorption effects, radiation damage and preparation artefacts. Various single and multiple
detector arrangements providing high solid angles of up to 1.1sr and high take-off angles
between 20° and 70° are available now for electron microscopes. Multiple detector systems
allow fastest data acquisition, which is suitable to analyze large or 3D samples in a reasonable
amount of time and to avoid extended sample exposure in case of beam sensitivity.
Additionally, in SEM, the analysis of complex bulk topography becomes possible, limiting
the need for sample preparation. Our contribution reports on ways to exploit the available
technology for quantitative EDS on the nanoscale using electron transparent samples in
STEM and SEM.
In STEM small solid angles of 0.1sr in combination with high beam current and
aberration correction allow the identification of single atoms in graphene by EDS [1]. The
Cliff-Lorimer method, widely used for the quantification of electron transparent objects larger
than that, can provide data on the accuracy level of a few at%. Using high solid and take-off
angles as mentioned above, even the ppm level (e.g. 0.02 at% for Rb in an Orthoclase mineral
standard [2]) can be accessed. The results of the Cliff-Lorimer quantification method are only
valid relative to a suitable standard of similar thickness and composition though, which is
often difficult to obtain. An alternative is the Zeta-factor method [3]. It additionally includes
information on the beam current and accommodates the use of any standard with known
thickness, density and composition. The Zeta-factor method can deliver absolute
quantification while accounting e.g. for absorption effects. The implementation, further
development options and the combination [4] with electron energy loss (EELS) spectroscopy
will be discussed. To correctly interpret STEM-EDS element maps on the atomic scale,
simulations of relevant scattering and radiation effects are necessary [5].
EDS of electron transparent samples in SEM can be combined with other emerging
complementary SEM-based techniques: micro-XRF allows trace analysis for higher Z
elements at low spatial resolution and Transmission Kikuchi Diffraction offers
crystallographic analysis on the nm-scale [6].

For researchers in metallurgy, energy storage or functional nano-materials, where elemental
distribution is crucial to performance and function, full structural and chemical
characterization is made more difficult by decreasing feature sizes and increasingly complex
architectures. Aberration correction has of course helped the TEM users to reach resolution in
the order of 70 pm in commercially available microscopes. However, the knowledge of the
chemical and electronic properties has even more relevance. The capabilities of the FEI Talos
and FEI Titan Themis allow for through characterization of structural, chemical and
electronic properties of any material. The presentation will illustrate the analytical
performances which are currently available on the mentioned microscopes, with focus on
EDS and EELS. Additional information will be given on the dynamic experiments enabled by
a new class of holders developed by FEI and on the way we overcome the typical limitations
of 2D imaging in the TEM.

Ultra-Fast data acquisition for EELS and Imaging
Neil Wilkinson
Gatan UK, 25 Nuffield Way, Abingdon, UK
The use of CCD and other non - film based cameras have transformed TEM and STEM
data acquisition since their introduction in 1990. As the technology has advanced, so too have
the application areas possible.
The modern TEM based digital camera can capture not only high resolution images in
normal TEM mode, but images from extremely Low illumination conditions as used for Cryo
Low Dose - less than 1e/Å2. The Low Dose Cryo technique has been well established for
many years, but the older CCD technology (and film) imaging had reached its absolute limits
in terms of achievable resolution and sensitivity. However, recent massive improvements have
been made in the resolution of 3D reconstruction of protein and virus samples from data
collected in cryo mode using new Direct Detection imaging devices.
TEM Digital cameras have been extensively used for the collection of Video images of
live events in the TEM. Once again, CCD technology limits what is practical and possible,
and frame rates of 30 per second are too slow for may in-situ experiments.
Direct Detection has not only revolutionized cryo applications, but also the in-situ area
too. With acquisition frame rates of 1600 per second, in-situ now has come into a new era.
Direct Detection looks set to change the kind of experiments we are able to do in the TEM.
Increased sensitivity and fast - 400 frames per second - readout mean that we no longer
take a single acquisition, but capture many frames - so called Dose Fractionation. By crosscorrelation and subsequent alignment of the image data stack, we can capture higher
resolution images from samples that may be drifting. Dose fractionation also allows the
rejection of image frames where the specimen is damaging in the beam.
The CCD camera also has a place in the Image filter for the collection of Electron Energy
Loss spectra. Developments in CCD and associated hardware now allow acquisition rates of
up to 1000 EELS spectra per second. This camera technology and modern TEM and STEM
microscopes mean that Atomic resolution EELS mapping is now more commonplace.
From the imaging of delicate protein samples, to fast high resolution movies of crystal
formation in the TEM, and fast atomic STEM EELS acquisition - new Detector technology
has transformed what we can expect to visualize in a modern TEM/STEM.

With more than 60 years of experience in research and development, JEOL is
today one of the largest manufacturers of electron optical systems.
Building on the success of the JEM-ARM200F, with more than 100 installations
world wide, JEOL recently introduced the first 300kV transmission electron
microscope (TEM) developed from the ground up. Aiming for an optimal
integration of modern aberration correctors, the JEM-ARM300F, or GRAND
ARM, comes with JEOLs own Cs-Correctors, is highly stable and guarantees a
HAADF STEM resolution of 63pm. Furthermore, it is equipped with an
optimized cold-field emission gun (cFEG), which routinely provides both a high
beam brightness and high energy resolution, ideal for high resolution imaging as
well as advanced EELS applications. To further improve the energy resolution
for high-end applications JEOL also offers a double-Wien-Filter monochromator
which can push the resolution by an order of 10 down if compared with the
cFEG.
In order to increase the analytical capabilities of its TEMs JEOL launched the
WIN EDS-system an improved energy dispersive x-ray spectrometer system
consisting of two silicon drift detectors (SDD). This dual EDS system offers a
large collection angle and significantly reduces the dependency on specimen tilt.
Due to the increased sensitivity of this system a high throughput analysis is
guaranteed.
With these high-end structural and analytical characterization methods, JEOL
provides solutions for the investigation and characterization of materials down
to the sub-Angström level.

Opening the Window for Large Solid Angle Silicon Drift Detectors
to Enhance EDS Analysis on the TEM

Ultra high resolution TEMs are now capable of imaging atomic lattice structures. When
combined with X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) it is possible to provide elemental
analysis of these structures. However, the analytical conditions for such atomic resolution
experiments in the TEM are very challenging for current windowed X-ray silicon drift
detectors (SDD), due to the low X-ray count rates generated by the samples.
A new generation of X-ray SDD detectors has been designed that maximizes the X-ray
signal collected from the sample by increasing the detector’s solid angle. This has been
achieved by employing a large area silicon drift sensor without a detector window in front of
it. Such a design has been realized in the X-MaxN 100 TLE, which has a sensor with an active
area of 100 mm2.
These detectors can significantly reduce analysis times and windowless technology
increases sensitivity to low energy X-rays. Analyses of 15 minutes or less can show
distributions of light elements, such as nitrogen, and structures less than 5 nm in size in a
microprocessor section (Figure 1). Due to the increased solid angle, these detectors can now
credibly be used for EELS + EDS analyses.

New environmental legislation for clean fuels demands an enhanced removal of sulfur and
other impurities from mineral oil. Production of transport fuels with ultra-low sulfur contents
in oil refineries requires very efficient catalytic hydrodesulfurization processes, and attention
is currently being devoted to understand the catalysts’ structure-activity relationships.
In oil refineries, the hydrodesulfurization catalysts are based on highly anisotropic MoS2
nanocrystals as the active component [1]. It is well-known that the catalytic reactivity of the
MoS2 nanocrystals is associated with their exposed edges, size and morphology. Moreover,
the catalytic effect can be boosted by the incorporation of secondary transitional metals such
as Co or Ni [1,2]. However, although MoS2-based catalysts are synthesized at a very large
scale in the refining industry, insight into the catalyst’s nanostructure and in particular the
nature of the atomic-scale active sites has remained a challenge to unveil.
Recent advancements have made (scanning) transmission electron microscopy (S/TEM) a
powerful technique for studying individual (supported) nanoparticles at the atomic-level [3-5].
In this presentation, we demonstrate the application of such advancements for single atom
sensitivity electron microscopy of MoS2-based hydrodesulfurization catalysts. Specifically,
high-resolution S/TEM imaging combined with electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS)
enable detection of the catalytic active edge structures at the single atom levels (Fig. 1). In
combination with information about structure-sensitive catalytic functionality, obtained from
scanning tunneling microscopy or density functional theory calculations, the electron
microscopy observations provide information that can help establish new, improved structurefunctionality relationships of the technological relevant hydrodesulfurization catalysts.

Recently, electron vortex beams, i.e. electron beams carrying orbital angular momentum
(OAM), have gained much attention as a promising route to measure magnetic properties of
materials with high resolution in inelastic electron scattering experiments. Technical
challenges, such as poor signal to noise ratio, still remain to be overcome. Due to recent
progression in producing beams with very high OAM (in the order of 100ƫRUPRUH) [1, 2], a
new route to overcome this could potentially be elastic scattering of high OAM vortex beams.
In order to investigate this possibility, we derive a real-space multislice [3] based model to
describe the magnetic interaction of vortex beams with magnetic matter. This model provides
a two-component Pauli spinor alternative to fully relativistic four-component Dirac
simulations [4]. Based on this model, we present simulations evaluating this potential route to
a novel method of magnetic measurements. Initial results indicate the possibility of feasible
experiments.

Can We Use Ferrocene as a Rapid Charge Regenerator?
Ahmed M. El-Zohry*, and Burkhard Zietz
Department of Chemistry, Ångström Laboratories, Uppsala University, Box 523, SE-751 20 Uppsala,
Sweden
Charge recombination is a limiting process in dye-sensitized solar cells. Assuming an
efficient charge injection from the excited dye to the conduction band of the low band gap
semiconductor, such as TiO2, the electron in the semiconductor suffers many deactivation
processes, reducing the cell’s efficiency. One of these deactivation processes is charge
recombination, where the electron returns to the adsorbed oxidized dye on the semiconductor
surface, lowering the voltage of the cell. Ideally, the oxidized dye has to be reduced by the
electrolyte in the cell, such as iodide/tri-iodide mixture, this process is known as charge
regeneration. Due to different reasons, starting from the slow diffusion coefficients of the
used electrolytes, reaching to the mechanism of the charge regeneration that rely on the
structure of the used dye, the charge recombination can compete with the charge regeneration
leading to a poor efficiency. The charge recombination rate is decreased when increasing the
distance between the negative electron in the semiconductor and the positive hole on the
surface for stiff molecules [1]. Aiming to reduce the unwanted charge recombination process,
two modified new dyes have been synthesized. The first one was connected covalently to one
ferrocene (L1Fc), and the second one to two ferrocenes (L1Fc2) [2]. Ferrocene is expected to
reduce the oxidized dye directly after charge injection that would lead to a longer distance for
the charge separation. The original dye L1 (without the ferrocene) was also studied for
comparison.

A combination of complementary in situ and ex situ techniques are used to investigate
intermetallic Pd2Ga/SiO2 catalyst tested for CO2 hydrogenation to methanol at ambient
pressure. The catalyst is prepared by simple impregnation of Pd and Ga nitrates into
industrially relevant high surface area SiO2, followed by drying, calcination and reduction in a
H2. The catalytic tests show that at ambient pressure, the intrinsic activity of the Pd2Ga/SiO2
catalyst is higher than that of the conventional Cu/ZnO/Al2O3, while the production of the
undesired CO is lower. In situ XRD and in situ EXAFS show that the Pd2Ga intermetallic
phase is formed upon reduction and is stable during CO2 hydrogenation. TEM images of
identical locations acquired ex situ show that nanoparticle size and dispersion are determined
upon calcination with no significant changes observed after reduction and methanol synthesis.
Similar conclusions can be drawn from electron diffraction patterns and images acquired at
the Environmental TEM (ETEM) at 4 mbar, indicating that ETEM results are representative
for the catalyst treated at ambient pressure. The chemical composition and the crystalline
structure of the nanoparticles are identified by STEM/EDX, selected area electron diffraction
patterns and atomic resolved TEM images (see Fig.1).

The designing of a material which combines the properties of both, metals and ceramics,
is favorable since then it shows a ductile behavior and is also stiff. This ambivalent nature of
properties can be realized in nanolaminated structures. The investigation and understanding of
their unique properties is very important regarding a continuing optimizing of the materials
and finally to benefit from their advantageous properties in the future. An example of this
class of material is Mo2BC.
We focus on the investigation of Mo2BC thin films on copper and silicon substrates
which are synthesized by high-power pulsed magnetron sputtering deposition technique.[1]
While the electronic structure and the mechanical properties of the material has been
investigated in detail, electron microscopy investigations are rare.[2, 3] Therefore, we set our
main focus on the characterization of the micro- and nanostructure especially by transmission
electron microscopy (TEM) methods. Our first results show that the material consists of
polycrystalline islands embedded in an amorphous matrix (see Fig. 1). For further
investigations we want to perform electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) to get more
information on the crystalline and amorphous regions in the material.

Perovskite-absorber solar cells have become a research area with high interest for their efficient
energy conversion. A clue to the high performance of the material is the long diffusion length of
charge carriers, which depend on crystallinity and morphology. However, still the main difficulty is to
gain reproducible performance which address questions to the functions originating from the crystal
chemistry in these materials. The first crystallographic information is commonly X-ray diffraction for
organo-metal halide perovskites, but scattering is dominated by higher atomic elements, and is
relatively insensitive to the organic component that controls the phase and crystal formation [1]. By
combining TEM and EDX we study perovskite crystals formed from a mixture of methyl ammonium
iodide and lead iodide in an II-propanol solution. A comparison of different crystals with its
diffraction pattern gained knowledge in how the material is built up. It is seen how the atoms organize
from small perovskite quantum dots, Fig.1 (a), to larger single crystals, Fig. 1 (b). The size and
structure of the crystals can further be controlled by molar ratio, additives and temperature. Here we
try to illuminate and explain the crystal structure birth and its organized growth of the perovskite
grains. The results give new insight into the crystal chemistry of the perovskite solar cell material.

Fluctuation Electron Microscopy (FEM) is imaging/diffraction technique used in
characterizing the medium range order (MRO) [1], i.e. ordering regime within ~0.5–2 nm.
The main idea of the technique is correlating the FEM signal spatial variance (V(k,q)) of the
nanodiffraction intensity (I(k,q)) with the ordering in the material, where V(k,q) is defined as:
V (k , q) =
I 2 (k , q)
I (k , q)
2
1
(1)
The averaging is over all sampling positions, k is the magnitude of the scattering vector, and q
is the diameter of the objective aperture at which the image was acquired (calculated).
We combine dynamical diffraction calculations and classical molecular dynamics (MD)
simulations to have an understanding of the MRO in Fe0.81Zr0.19 alloys. The MD is used to
make models of the amorphous alloy, in which the MRO is simulated by inserting crystalline
nanoparticles (NPs). We consider randomly oriented NPs with two different sizes, and two
different volume occupations–crystallinity of the system. To study the influence of the
disorder in the NPs on the variance, we calculated the micro-diffraction patterns of systems
with relaxed (disordered) and unrelaxed (crystalline) NPs. The micro-diffraction patterns were
calculated using real space multislice method [2], where the response of an electron wave
propagating through the sample is calculated.

Various nanocrystalline silicates were studied in a new approach by a combination of
scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and
automated diffraction tomography (ADT). The samples were collected at the Jungfraujoch
Sphinx Observatory (Switzerland) with an impactor system behind an ICE-CVI (Counterflow
Virtual Impactor). The atmospheric particles, placed on a carbon coated copper TEM grid,
were roughly pre-classified by their chemical composition via Energy Dispersive X-ray
Spectrometry (EDX) with the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). This chemical analysis
delivered a large number of different groups each still covering a large range of minerals
possible. In order to clarify the structural nature of the particles further, a Transmission
Electron Microscope (TEM) was used for electron diffraction experiments. Particles showing
diffraction, which all turned out to be members of the classes SiAl and SiAl+Fe, were
selected and used for further investigation with Automated Diffraction Tomography (ADT).
Determined cell-parameters and space groups supported with the chemical composition
determined by EDX measurements lead to the conclusion that the investigated silicate
particles are sheet silicates. ADT data from a muscovite single crystal, investigated as a model
compound, delivered a complete “ab- initio” structure solution. ADT data taken from the
investigated ice residuals showed significantly more disorder and polycrystallinity but the
majority of the particles were identified unambiguously as members of the mica group. A
detailed investigation of atmospheric particles by combining the above mentioned methods is
time consuming and restricted as well as somehow biased by several factors, such as particle
agglomeration, morphology and crystallinity. Nevertheless the further investigation with ADT
allows an in-depth look on particles, which is not achievable with the classic electron
microscopic single particle analysis.

We employed the JEM-ARM200F t.e.m. to get direct evidence of microstructure and for
testing the atomic scale theory of interstitial carbon super-saturation LTCSS [1], currently
accepted as supporting the surface parameters enhancement in stainless alloys carburized in
low temperature (LT) gas atmosphere (via the processing invented by Swagelok Co. [2]). We
did investigate the Inconel-718 (IN-718) Ni base superalloy, prone for surface parameters
enhancement through this technology, as reported [3]. The Z-contrast analysis in connection
with line EELS-SI revealed the nanoscale inhomogeneous distribution of major alloy elements
Ni, Cr, Fe and of C (introduced by carburization), Fig-1. The high Cu contamination grown
during ion milling interferes with the final result. No preservation of initial alloy grains and no
colossal concentration of interstitially diffused C atoms inside coarse grains were evidenced.
A fragmentation down to nano-sized austenite crystals intermixed with an amorphous phase
and the preference of C to accumulate mainly into the amorphous phase were revealed.
