X-ray Crystallography02:18

X-ray Crystallography

26.6K
The size of the unit cell and the arrangement of atoms in a crystal may be determined from measurements of the diffraction of X-rays by the crystal, termed X-ray crystallography.
Diffraction
Diffraction is the change in the direction of travel experienced by an electromagnetic wave when it encounters a physical barrier whose dimensions are comparable to those of the wavelength of the light. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths about as long as the distance between neighboring...

X-ray Diffraction of Biological Samples

5.1K
X-ray diffraction or XRD is an analytical tool that utilizes X-rays to study ordered structures such as crystalline organic and inorganic samples, polycrystalline materials, proteins, carbohydrates, and drugs.
According to Bragg's law, when X-rays strike the sample positioned on a stage, the rays are  scattered by the electron clouds around the sample atoms. The  X-ray diffraction or scattering is caused by constructive interference of the X-ray waves that reflect off the internal...

Scanning Electron Microscopy

5.8K
A scanning electron microscope (SEM) is used to study the surface features of a sample by using an electron beam that scans the sample surface in a two-dimensional manner. Typically, areas between ~1 centimeter to 5 micrometers in width can be imaged. SEM can be used to image bacteria, viruses, tissues as well as larger samples like insects. Conventional SEM gives a magnification ranging from 20X to 30,000X and spatial resolution of 50 to 100 nanometers.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Crystallography
  • Electron Microscopy

Background:

  • High-resolution electron backscatter diffraction (HR-EBSD) relies on cross-correlation to analyze pattern distortion.
  • Previous studies used kinematically simulated patterns for strain and tetragonality analysis in Si/SiGe, but these introduced higher noise levels.
  • Dynamically simulated patterns offer a potential improvement in HR-EBSD analysis accuracy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To apply recently developed dynamically simulated patterns within HR-EBSD techniques.
  • To analyze lattice distortion in an Si/SiGe sample using these advanced patterns.
  • To compare the precision and accuracy of dynamically simulated patterns against experimental and kinematically simulated patterns.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized high-resolution electron backscatter diffraction (HR-EBSD) with cross-correlation techniques.
  • Employed recently developed dynamically simulated electron backscatter diffraction patterns as references.
  • Compared results with analyses using experimental and kinematically simulated reference patterns for Si/SiGe samples.

Main Results:

  • Dynamically simulated patterns provide significantly higher precision in HR-EBSD analysis compared to kinematically simulated patterns.
  • Dynamical patterns offer improved estimates of tetragonality, particularly at low levels of lattice distortion.
  • Kinematical patterns may be advantageous for large relative tetragonality due to faster pattern generation for distorted lattices.

Conclusions:

  • Dynamically simulated patterns represent a significant advancement for precise lattice distortion analysis using HR-EBSD.
  • The choice of reference pattern type impacts the accuracy of strain and tetragonality measurements.
  • A library of dynamically generated patterns could enhance HR-EBSD's capability for analyzing varying degrees of lattice distortion.
