Outline of Final Research Achievements |
One of the imaging features in aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy (AC-TEM) is that lattice fringe contrast is minimized at the in-focus condition. By utilizing the feature, we developed a new method to observe three-dimensional dispersion of metallic nano particles from a focal series of AC-TEM images. In the process, we developed a filtering procedure to display magnitude of lattice fringe contrast quantitatively. By using the filtering procedure, we also succeeded in developing a method to measure roughness at mismatch epitaxial interfaces between semiconducting materials.
