Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we developed a pulse STEM-based Thermal Analytical Microscopy (p-STAM) method based on Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). By incorporating an Electrostatic Dose Modulor (EDM) into the existing TEM setup, we successfully generated thermal waves in the TEM specimens. Temperature measurements were conducted using our uniquely designed nanothermocouple, and the phase and amplitude of the thermal waves were measured using a lock-in amplifier. Furthermore, we developed a system to record phase and amplitude images during pulse electron beam scanning, enabling the quantitative measurement of thermal diffusivity in TEM specimens.
