Outline of Final Research Achievements |
I developed the specimen holder enabling light irradiation and voltage application simultaneously to a specimen in transmission electron microscopy to achieve operand observation of electric potentials in solar cells by electron holography. I used this holder to observe electrically-biased GaAs solar cells in the dark with electron holography and succeeded in measuring electric potential changes in the solar cells accurately and precisely. Furthermore, I applied this holder to the observation of the GaAs cells under artificial sunlight and quantitatively visualized potential changes due to the photovoltaic effect.
