Abstract

The interface formation between the perovskite oxides SrTiO _3 and BiFeO _3 was studied using in situ photoelectron spectroscopy by depositing BiFeO _3 on SrTiO _3 and vice versa via pulsed laser deposition. For the interfaces characterized, a type II band alignment with a valence band offset of 0.9–1.0 eV and a conduction band offset of 0.5–0.6 eV was observed. Within the margin of error the commutativity was fulfilled for the SrTiO _3 /BiFeO _3 interface, meaning that the band alignment does not depend on the deposition sequence.

Abstract

The final oscillation analysis of the complete set of data collected by CHORUS in the years 1994-1997 is presented. Reconstruction algorithms of data extracted by electronic detectors were improved and the data recorded in the emulsion target were analysed by new automated scanning systems, allowing the use of a new method for event reconstruction in emulsion. CHORUS has applied these new techniques to the sample of 1996-1997 events for which no muons were observed in the electronic detectors. Combining the new sample with the data analysed in previous papers, the overall sensitivity of the experiment to the ?? appearance is thus improved. In a two-neutrino mixing scheme, a 90% C.L. upper limit of sin2 2 ?µ ? < 4.4 × 10-4 is set for large ? m2, improving by a factor 1.5 the previously published CHORUS result. © 2007 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract

Part of the neutrino events collected in 1994-1995 by the CHORUS experiment has been analysed. A search was performed for ντ charged current interactions followed by the τ lepton decay into a single charged negative hadron, a possible indication for νμ→ντ oscillation. A sample of 6844 events without an identified muon has been located in the emulsion target. Within the selection criteria, no τ− candidate has been found. Combining this result with the one from the search for ντ interactions using the muonic decay mode (36 182 events with an identified muon), a 90% C.L. limit on the mixing angle sin22θμτ

Abstract

In a multilayered ceramic actuator structure, controlling the interface between the electrode and the ceramics is an essential technology for obtaining highly reliable ceramic actuators. The interface between Ag-Pd internal electrode and Pb(Ni1/3Nb2/3)O3-PbTiO3-PbZrO3(PNN-PT-PZ), and the grain boundary in PNN-PT-PZ ceramics, were studied using TEM and EDS. We found that Pb diffuses into the Ag-Pd electrode during firing. At the initial sintering stage, Ag in Ag-Pd seems to diffuse into the piezoelectric ceramics along the grain boundary. Ag diffused in the grain boundary is segregated, and a small amount of Ag diffuses into the grain of the ceramics at the medium sintering stage. When compared to the thick film process, the interfacial reaction between Ag-Pd and PNN-PT-PZ is promoted more in the cofiring process than the thick film process. This is because more Pb vapors diffuse into Ag-Pd in the cofiring process than the thick film process. The addition of Ag into PNN-PT-PZ decreases the dielectric constant and affects the dielectric loss slightly.

Abstract

The effects of oxygen content on the anisotropic resistivity and Cu 2+ localized spin moments have been studied for the Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O 8 + x single crystals. It was found that the in-plane and out-of-plane resistivities ( ϱ ab and ϱ c ), as well as the electron spin resonance (ESR) signals decrease with increasing oxygen contents from underdoping to overdoping states. We believe that the in-plane resistivity upturn in an underdoped region is closely related to the carrier localization, and the scattering of spin fluctuations plays an important role in the charge transport properties. On the origin of c-axis resistivity, we should take into account the scattering in the `barrier' layer between CuO 2 ‘cells’ and the scattering or fluctuations in the planes.

Abstract

Microwave absorption was measured in the mixed state of ~Bi or Tl! 2~Sr or Ba! 2Ca n21Cu nO y . In a La-substituted Bi2Sr2CuO y ~Bi-2201!, a sharp resonant structure was found in the absorption as a function of magnetic field only when the microwave current flowed across the CuO2 planes, as well as in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O y ~Bi-2212!. Together with the frequency-dependence data, the resonant structure in the absorption in Bi-2201 is considered to be the Josephson plasma resonance. The anisotropy ratio g[(mc /mab) 1/2 was tentatively estimated to be ;750. A striking difference was found in the temperature dependence of the resonance field between Bi-2201 and Bi-2212. We argue that this comes from the difference in the dimensionality of the vortex systems. In Tl2Ba2CaCu2O y, no such resonance was found in the microwave region, which is probably due to a smaller anisotropy in this material. @S0163-1829~96!51622-X#

Abstract

Magnetization M and heat capacity C were measured around the first order vortex transition lines of two Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O 8 + δ single crystals having different oxygen contents. The entropy jump per vortex per layer, Δs , at the transition was estimated from the step in M . The oxygen-content dependence of Δs was contradictory to the simple vortex lattice melting theory based on the Lindemann criterion. In both crystals, no anomalies in C were observed at the transition owing to both the small Δs and the broadening of the transition.

Abstract

We have measured the magnetization and the heat capacity of over-doped (OVD) and optimally doped (OPD) Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O y single crystals in the mixed state under magnetic fields applied along the c -axis. In both samples, a distinct magnetization step is observed in the magnetization curve at high temperatures and is found to change to a kink at low temperatures. At still lower temperatures, the peak effect dominates the magnetization curve and the kink vanishes. The origin of the step and the kink in the magnetization curve is considered to be the first-order phase transition in a quasi-three-dimensional vortex system although the heat capacity shows little anomalies at the transition because the latent heat is small. The first-order phase transition line of each sample is drawn on the H - T plane and it is found that the slope of the line of the OVD sample is steeper than that of the OPD sample. The entropy jump at the transition of the OVD sample is estimated to be larger than that of the OPD one at all temperatures and magnetic fields studied. This behavior is contradictory to the simple vortex-lattice melting picture.

Abstract

The linear ac magnetic response of three Bi{sub 2}Sr{sub 2}CaCu{sub 2}O{sub {ital x}} single crystals with various doping states was investigated with a miniature two-coil mutual inductance technique in magnetic fields parallel to the {ital c} axis. The dissipation peak appeared right below {ital T}{sub {ital c}}, and a drop in dissipation was observed at a frequency-independent temperature {ital T}{sub {ital D}} together with an increase in shielding signal, upon field cooling the sample. The observed frequency-independent feature can be understood as a consequence of the thermally induced dimensional crossover.

Abstract

A first analysis of the complete set of data collected by CHORUS in the years 1994-1997 is presented. The search for nu (tau) charged current events has been performed for both leptonic and hadronic decays of the tau lepton. No tau candidate has been found, A nu (tau) --> nu (tau) mixing is excluded down to sin(2)2 theta (mu tau) = 6.8 x 10(-4) for large Deltam(2) (90% C.L.). (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.

Abstract

Iodine-intercalated high-Tc oxide Bi2Sr2CaCu2Oy was studied at 16 K using129I Mossbauer effect. The Mossbauer spectrum shows the presence of I3− ions which have an almost linear structure and a symmetrical charge population, and no other iodine species are found. In addition to the electronic structure of each iodine species, the analysis of the intensity ratios of the quadrupole-split transitions reveals information about the anisotropy of the recoilless fraction for each iodine atom. It cannot exclude the possibility that the I3− ion is slightly asymmetrical and/or bent with consideration to small interactions between the I3− ion and the neighboring Bi-O layers.

Abstract

CHORUS is an experiment searching for nu(mu) --> nu(tau) oscillation in the CERN wide band neutrino beam with a hybrid setup consisting of a nuclear emulsion target followed by electronic detectors. The experiment has been taking data from 1994 through 1997. A subset of the neutrino interactions collected in 1994 and 1995 have been analyzed, looking for nu(tau) charged current interactions where the tau lepton decays to mu(mu)nu(tau). In a sample of 31,423 nu(mu) charged current interactions, no nu(tau) candidates were found. For large Delta m(mu tau)(2) values, a limit on the mixing angle of sin(2)2 theta(mu tau) < 3.5 x 10(-3) at 90% C.L. can be set, thus improving the previous best result.

Abstract

We report on the first direct observation of a neutrino induced charged-current interaction with two subsequent decays of short-lived particles close to the interaction vertex. This rare double-kink signature in the CHORUS emulsion target is interpreted as a D-s*(+) production followed by the decay chain D-s*(+) --> D-s(+) gamma, D-s(+) --> tau(+) v(tau),tau(+) --> mu(+) v(mu)v(tau). The event is characterised by small Q(2) and small four-momentum transfer squared t to the target nucleon, which indicates a diffractive production mechanism. A complete analysis of the event is presented. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract

Part of the neutrino events collected in 1994-1995 by the CHORUS experiment has been analysed. A search was performed for nu(tau) charged current interactions followed by the tau lepton decay into a single charged negative hadron, a possible indication for nu(mu) --> nu(tau) oscillation. A sample of 6844 events without an identified muon has been located in the emulsion target. Within the selection criteria, no tau(-) candidate has been found. Combining this result with the one from the search fur nu(tau) interactions using the muonic decay mode (36182 events with an identified muon), a 90% C.L. limit on the mixing angle sin(2)2 theta(mu tau) < 1.8.10(-3) (at large Delta m(2)) has been derived.

Abstract

A new experimental apparatus, designed principally for a high sensitivity search for nu( --> mu(tau) oscillation, has been successfully constructed and made operational by the CHORUS Collaboration for the CERN-WA95 experiment. It consists of a large emulsion target, a scintillating fiber tracker system with optoelectronics read-out, an air-core magnet, a set of trigger hodoscopes, a calorimeter based on the lead/scintillating-fiber technique, and a muon spectrometer. The design, construction and performance of the entire apparatus and of the different detectors are described.

Abstract

The laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA) experiments has been conducted by the use of 2 TW. 90 fs laser pulses synchronized with an electron beam injected from a 17 MeV RF lmac. Preliminary experiments demonstrated the energy gam more than 200 MeV attributed to ionization-induced self-modulation and self-guiding of intense ultrashort laser pulses in plasmas. Measurements of the plasma density oscillation and laser-plasma interactions support the enhanced acceleration. We are also developing an RF photo-injector producing low emittance beams, a capillary plasma wave guide generating long stable wakefields and a energy measurement system with emulsion technique.

Abstract

We measured a bulk magnetization and heat capacity of Bi2Sr2CaCu2Oy single crystals with different oxygen stoichiometry in the mixed state. The samples show a magnetization step, indicating a first order transition in high temperature region. With lowering temperature, the step changes into some depression-and-kink structure, then vanishes when the second peak appears. The first order transition line is found to become steeper with increasing oxygen content. It is also found that the transition line seems to be terminated by the second peak field. We also measured heat capacity of the same samples. However, neither latent heat nor any other anomaly was detected, possibly because of the non-uniformity of the field distribution inside the plate-like samples.

25. Microwave Absorption in the Mixed State of (Bi or Tl)2(Sr or Ba)2Can-1CunOy

Abstract

Microwave absorption was measured in the mixed state of (Bi or Tl)2(Sr or Ba)2Ca n -1iCu n O y . In Bi2Sr2CuO y , (Bi-2201), a sharp resonant structure was found in the absorption as a function of magnetic field only when the microwave current flows across the CuO2 planes, as well as in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O y (Bi-2212). Together with the frequency dependence data, the resonant structure in the absorption in Bi-2201 is considered to be the Josephson plasma resonance. The anisotropy ratio γ ≡ (m c /m ab )1/2 is estimated to be ~700. A striking difference was found in the temperature dependence of the resonance field between Bi-2201 and Bi-2212, which may reflect the difference of the stacking structure of the CuO2 planes in these two compounds. In Tl2Ba2CaCu2O y (Tl-2212), no such resonance was found in the microwave region, which is consistent with a smaller anisotropy in this material.

Abstract

The second peak effect in the magnetisation of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ has been investigated for both under-, near optimally-, and over-doped single crystals. The size and position of the peak depend strongly on the doping, and hence anisotropy, showing a large enhancement in the overdoped sample. For all states, though, the peak persists to high temperatures, with no evidence for an intersection of the curve describing peak position in the H-T plane with the irreversibility line. The temperature dependence can be described with recent theories of a 3D-2D transition in the vortex system, allowing derivation of values of the anisotropy γ. This interpretation is supported by μSR experiments on the same samples which indicate a reduction of vortex dimensionality at crossover fields matching the peak fields.

Abstract

The question of the nature of iodine in I-intercalated Bi2Sr2Can−1CunOy, n=1 and 2, is addressed. Raman measurements clearly show the signature of the I3 − ion; the polarisation dependence of the Raman spectra indicates an alignment of this ion along either the a- or b- axis of the host crystal, and imposes limits on the site symmetry of the intercalated species. A 129I Mossbauer investigation of the intercalated system also uniquely identifies the I3 − ion. Given a picture of nearly linear I3 − ions aligned within the host crystal, a resistivity study has been undertaken to identify possible changes in the a–b plane anisotropy; significant differences near the onset to superconductivity are observed for the two crystal directions.

Abstract

In Bi2Sr2CaCu2Oy under magnetic fields along the c-axis, both the local and the macroscopic magnetization show clear steps indicating the first order phase transition (FOPT) in the vortex lattice (VL). Local measurements have revealed that the FOPT occurs from the center of the sample owing to the field inhomogeneity originated from the geometrical effect. The heights of the steps are strongly suppressed in local measurements by the demagnetization effect. With decreasing temperature, the irreversibility in the magnetization just below the step begins to increase and is smoothly connected to the second peak at low temperatures.

Abstract

We designed and constructed a cryogenic photoelectron yield spectroscopy having high resolution (≈ 10 meV) and wide dynamic range (≈ 107). The yield spectra taken for Bi2Sr2CaCuOy (BSCCO)single crystals at 10 K showed a dip structure in the vicinity of the Fermi level. The measured data could be well fitted with a curve simulated from the BCS function with a gap value of 20 meV.

Abstract

Magnetic irreversibility data is presented for iodine intercalated Bi2Sr2CaCu2Oy single crystals. Iodine transfers charge both to the CuO2 planes and the BiO bilayers. The possibility of enhanced coupling along the c-axis through increased conductivity in the rocksalt block is not borne out in the irreversibility fields, Hirr, suggesting either that Bi2Sr2CaCu2Oy is firmly in the 2-dimensional limit, or that any increase in the c-axis coupling is balanced by larger separation of the CuO2 planes. Magnetic relaxation data is also discussed. Electron microscopy reveals two forms of in-plane defect associated with iodine intercalation, one resulting from faults in realignment of the BiO layers from an a/2 staggered sequence to a registered sequence, and the other related to the packing of I3 chains in the lattice.

Electrical resistivity was studied parallel to the ab -plane as well as along the c -axis of Bi2212 single crystals having both over-doped and under-doped states. The anisotropy within the ab -plane (perpendicular and parallel to the modulated b -axis directions) have been also systematically evaluated. The temperature dependence of ϱ a , ϱ b and ϱ c was strongly dependent on the oxygen composition and the anisotropy factors ϱ c / ϱ a and ϱ c / ϱ b showed a similar dependence ; the more carrier doped crystals showed the smaller anisotropies in each case, while ϱ a / ϱ b showed an opposite dependence.

Abstract

The relationship between Sr interdiffusion from a Pt/SrRuO3 [SRO] top electrode into (Pb, La)(Zr, Ti)O3 [PLZT] ferroelectric thin films with different excess Pb contents (2–10%) and leakage properties was studied. Secondary ion mass spectrometry and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy revealed significant Sr diffusion into the PLZT film after annealing, which increased with increasing excess Pb content. The diffused Sr existed in the PLZT crystalline grain boundaries, but not in the grains. The high leakage was attributed to a low resistance compound Sr–Pb–O in the PLZT grain boundaries. To obtain low leakage SRO/PLZT capacitors, it is necessary to eliminate the Sr–Pb–O grain boundary phase by lowering the excess Pb content to 7% or less.

Abstract

The deviation of magnetic relaxation from the usual logarithmic decay in type-II superconductors was analyzed in terms of the first-order kinetic relaxation process. The theoretical and experimental results show that the relaxation of magnetic induction B obeys the power law equation, namely, B=B 0 +B 1 t -α, where B 0 is the \lq\lqequilibrium" value of the magnetic induction, and B 1 and α are field- and temperature-dependent constants. It was found that α, which is related to the pinning potential barrier, varies with temperature following the Arrhenius-type thermal activation behavior. Based on the present phenomenological theory, the current J dependence of the apparent activation energy U a is discussed by using the relaxation data of a Bi2.1Sr1.8Ca1.0Cu2.0O8+δ single crystal.

Abstract

Pseudoindoxyl is a partial skeleton found in various natural products. Its light-absorption properties make it useful for the design of functional molecules. However, versatile synthesis methods have not yet been reported. In this report, we present a versatile synthetic method for pseudoindoxyls using the direct S 0 → T n transition under visible light irradiation. We also discuss the application of pseudoindoxyls as photocatalysts.

39. Mutations identified in engineered Escherichia coli with a reduced genome.

Author

Kotaka Y, Hashimoto M, Lee KI, and Kato JI

Abstract

Characterizing genes that regulate cell growth and survival in model organisms is important for understanding higher organisms. Construction of strains harboring large deletions in the genome can provide insights into the genetic basis of cell growth compared with only studying wild-type strains. We have constructed a series of genome-reduced strains with deletions spanning approximately 38.9% of the E. coli chromosome. Strains were constructed by combining large deletions in chromosomal regions encoding nonessential gene groups. We also isolated strains Δ33b and Δ37c, whose growth was partially restored by adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE). Genome sequencing of nine strains, including those selected following ALE, identified the presence of several Single Nucleotide Variants (SNVs), insertions, deletions, and inversions. In addition to multiple SNVs, two insertions were identified in ALE strain Δ33b. The first was an insertion at the promoter region of pntA , which increased cognate gene expression. The second was an insertion sequence (IS) present in sibE , encoding the antitoxin in a toxin-antitoxin system, which decreased expression of sibE . 5 strains of Δ37c independently isolated following ALE harboring multiple SNVs and genetic rearrangements. Interestingly, a SNV was identified in the promoter region of hcaT in all five strains, which increased hcaT expression and, we predict, rescued the attenuated Δ37b growth. Experiments using defined deletion mutants suggested that hcaT encodes a 3-phenylpropionate transporter protein and is involved in survival during stationary phase under oxidative stress. This study is the first to document accumulation of mutations during construction of genome-reduced strains. Furthermore, isolation and analysis of strains derived from ALE in which the growth defect mediated by large chromosomal deletions was rescued identified novel genes involved in cell survival., Competing Interests: The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest., (Copyright © 2023 Kotaka, Hashimoto, Lee and Kato.)

Abstract

It is a major and complex task to accelerate an ion which has the same charge to mass ratio with strong contaminant ions, such as 12 C 4+ in the 18 O 6+ beam. An innovative method has been developed to suppress the contaminant ions in the Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) ion source by introducing Li vapor. The ion distribution inside the ECR zone was obtained by the optical analysis of ions inside the ECR ion source. The 12 C 4+ ions were suppressed as much as by a factor of 10, whereas the 18 O 6+ beam changed little with the use of this technique.

Abstract

The light intensity of (6)Li III line spectrum at λ = 516.7 nm was observed during (6)Li(3+) beam tuning at the Hyper-Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) ion source. Separation of ion species of the same charge to mass ratio with an electromagnetic mass analyzer is known to be an exceptionally complex process. However, (6)Li III line intensity observation conducted in this study gives new insights into its simplification of this process. The light intensity of (6)Li III line spectrum from the ECR plasma was found to have a strong correlation with the extracted (6)Li(3+) beam intensity from the RIKEN Azimuthal Varying Field cyclotron.

Abstract

Two methods for the feed of vapor from solid materials in the Center for Nuclear Study ECR ion source are described. A rod placed near the wall of the plasma chamber, operating up to a melting point of 2600 °C, has been used for CaO, SiO2, and FeO. An oven with a number of openings, operating up to 800 °C, has been used for P2O5, Li, and S. Typical ion beam intensities of (7)Li(2+), (6)Li(3+), (40)Ca(12+), and (56)Fe(15+) are achieved 280, 75, 28, and 7 eμA, respectively. High intensity heavy ion beams are stably supplied into the azimuthally varying field cyclotron.

43. Image formation mechanisms of spherical aberration corrected BF STEM imaging methods.

Author

Kotaka Y, Yamazaki T, Ohtsuka M, and Watanabe K

Abstract

In this study, we explore the formation mechanisms of different spherical-aberration (C(s))-corrected bright-field (BF) scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) imaging methods. The C(s)-corrected BF STEM imaging modes are characterised in detail using simulated images and experimental BF STEM images obtained with several types of detectors. The Co₃O₄ specimen results show that the occupancy, the atomic spacing, and the atomic number of the atoms constituting the atomic columns control image formation in BF STEM imaging, which is used to detect light atomic columns. The middle-angle BF STEM image is crucial in image formation by BF STEM imaging., (© 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.)

44. Bloch wave simulations in the frozen lattice approximation.

Author

Yamazaki T, Ohtsuka M, Kotaka Y, and Watanabe K

Abstract

To simulate the effects of thermal diffuse scattering in the frozen lattice (FL) approximation, we modify the conventional Bloch wave method by applying the classical scattering matrix method. The present simulation method requires that the eigenvalue operation is executed only once for each partial incident wave using the atomic positions of the thermal equilibrium configuration and thus the calculation time decreases drastically. Furthermore, from a comparison of convergent beam electron diffraction (CBED) patterns simulated by the present method with the results of CBED patterns simulated by a multislice method, we confirm that FL approximation can be simulated by the dynamical simulation based on the Bloch wave method., (Copyright © 2013 Elsevier B.V.

45. Imaging of light and heavy atomic columns by spherical aberration corrected middle-angle bright-field STEM.

Author

Ohtsuka M, Yamazaki T, Kotaka Y, Hashimoto I, and Watanabe K

Abstract

Simultaneous detection of both light and heavy atomic columns is theoretically and experimentally explored with spherical aberration (C(s))-corrected middle-angle bright-field (MABF) scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM). Optimized MABF STEM visualizes both light O atomic columns and heavy Sr and Ti-O atomic columns for SrTiO₃(001) as distinct bright spots and dark spots with characteristic bright rings, respectively, over practical ranges of the probe-forming lens defocus and sample thickness, although medium-heavy Ti-O atomic columns appear as blurred dark spots. The difference in contrast between heavy and light atomic columns is greater than that of annular BF STEM images. The formation of distinctive bright and dark spots is interpreted simply as the difference in the degrees of localization and inelastic absorption of channeling electrons in individual atomic columns by analyses of convergent wave fields inside the crystal in both real and reciprocal space. In addition, Bloch wave expansion of MABF STEM images suggests that bright rings are formed mainly by 2p-like convergent Bloch wave fields localized on heavy atomic columns., (Copyright © 2012 Elsevier B.V.

46. Analysis of EEL spectrum of low-loss region using the C(s)-corrected STEM-EELS method and multivariate analysis.

Author

Yamazaki T, Kotaka Y, and Kataoka Y

Abstract

We analyzed a Si/SiO(2) interface using multivariate analysis and spherical aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy-electron energy loss spectroscopy which is characterized by using the electron energy loss spectrum of the low-loss region. We extracted the low-loss spectra of Si, SiO(2) and an interface state. Even if the interface is formed from materials with different dielectric functions, the present method will prove suitable for obtaining a more quantitative understanding of the dielectric characteristic., (Copyright © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

47. Study of atomic resolved plasmon-loss image by spherical aberration-corrected STEM-EELS method.

Author

Yamazaki T, Kotaka Y, Tsukada M, and Kataoka Y

Abstract

To gain an understanding of a plasmon-loss image obtained with an atomic resolution scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM)-electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) method, the detailed analysis is experimentally and theoretically performed. In order to theoretically explain a plasmon-loss image, a dynamical simulation method of the plasmon-loss image combined with a first-principle calculation is firstly proposed. By making comparisons between simulated and experimental plasmon-loss images, we find that the experimental plasmon-loss images closely resemble the high-angle bright-field STEM images, which show the reverse contrast of the corresponding high-angle annular dark-field STEM image., (2010 Elsevier B.V.

48. Effect of convergent beam semiangle on image intensity in HAADF STEM images.

Author

Kuramochi K, Kotaka Y, Yamazaki T, Ohtsuka M, Hashimoto I, and Watanabe K

Abstract

In this study, we experimentally and theoretically show that the intensities of bright spots in a spherical aberration (C(s))-uncorrected high-angle annular dark-field (HAADF) scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) image of [011]-oriented Co(3)O(4), which has two different numbers of Co atoms in the projected atomic columns, are reversed with increasing sample thickness. However, C(s)-corrected HAADF STEM images produce intensities that correctly depend on the average number of atoms in the projected atomic columns. From an analysis based on the Bloch-wave theorem, it is found that an insufficient semiangle of the incident convergent beam yields intensities that do not depend on the average atomic number in the atomic columns.

49. Effect of chromatic aberration on atomic-resolved spherical aberration corrected STEM images.

Author

Kuramochi K, Yamazaki T, Kotaka Y, Ohtsuka M, Hashimoto I, and Watanabe K

Abstract

The effect of the chromatic aberration (C(c)) coefficient in a spherical aberration (C(s))- corrected electromagnetic lens on high-resolution high-angle annular dark field (HAADF) scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) images is explored in detail. A new method for precise determination of the C(c) coefficient is demonstrated, requiring measurement of an atomic-resolution one-frame through-focal HAADF STEM image. This method is robust with respect to instrumental drift, sample thickness, all lens parameters except C(c), and experimental noise. It is also demonstrated that semi-quantitative structural analysis on the nanometer scale can be achieved by comparing experimental C(s)- corrected HAADF STEM images with their corresponding simulated images when the effects of the C(c) coefficient and spatial incoherence are included.
