Open DOI
Applications of Secondary and Backscattered Electron Spectroscopic Imaging and a Proposal for New SEM Image Nomenclature
With the increasing diversity of SEM detectors today, classification based solely on secondary and backscattered electrons is no longer sufficient; there is a growing need to specify energy and emission direction when discussing image in...

Open DOI
Morphological study of the anterior cruciate ligament and its tibial insertion in the human knee joint
Purpose: We investigated whether ligament-derived collagen fibrils traversing the cartilage/fibrocartilage region toward the tibial bone could be visualized using SEM. Methods: ACL specimens were obtained from four patients with ACL rupt...

Extending the Computable Depth Range in Electron Ptychography using Event-Converted Data
Iterative multislice electron ptychography enables depth sectioning but its range is constrained by the real-space patch imposed by detector sampling. Reconstruction using converted 4D-STEM patterns into electron-event lists decouples th...

Atomic-scale STEM characterization of Li-ion battery materials using orientation-controlled single-crystalline specimens
Active materials in Li-ion batteries often undergo local structural changes during the (de)lithiation process, which can strongly influence their electrochemical performance. STEM is a powerful tool for investigating these changes becaus...

Open DOI
Critical excitation energy-based method for chemical bonding state analysis using SEM–EDS
In this study, we investigate the feasibility of evaluating the chemical bonding states using an electron-beam-based spectroscopic method implemented on a conventional scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy...

DOI 10.1093/jmicro/dfag032
Open DOI
Anisotropic optical properties of β-CuGaO2 single crystal studied via momentum transfer resolved EELS
β-CuGaO2 has attracted attention as a photovoltaic material because of its p-type semiconducting nature and strong-visible-light absorption capability. Because ion-exchange methods yield only micron-sized crystals and random orientations...

Development of a specialized diamond knife for controlled notch introduction in ultrathin polymer films for in situ tensile transmission electron microscopy
In situ tensile testing in a transmission electron microscope (TEM) is a powerful tool for investigating polymer fracture at the nanoscale, but the stochastic nature of crack initiation has long hindered systematic observation. We report...

Open DOI
Vogel spiral-based tilt-scan averaging approach for robust and efficient diffraction contrast suppression in DPC STEM.
We theoretically investigated how the arrangements of tilt points affect the suppression of diffraction contrast in tilt-scan-averaged differential phase contrast scanning transmission electron microscopy (tDPC STEM). To examine the effe...

Study of nanocrystals within lamellar structures of polyvinylidene fluoride using phase plate scanning transmission electron microscopy
Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is a polymer with excellent piezoelectric properties. The close relationship between structure and properties necessitates structural investigation. The PVDF structure has been investigated using techniques...

Capability of angle-resolved SXES experiment examined by hexagonal BN and its application for the chemical bonding state of Fe2B
The angle-dependences of N-K emission intensity profile of hBN on polar angle θ and azimuth angle ϕ were examined. The θ-dependent N-K emission intensity profiles show different angle dependences in the top and the bottom region of valen...
