Scanning Electron Microscopy

4.2K
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.

X-ray Crystallography

23.9K
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...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Ultrafast surface science studies reveal nanoscale heat transport and vibrational damping using femtosecond laser pulses. A driven phase transition on Si(111) was non-thermally induced in 700 fs, entering a metastable state.

Area of Science:

  • Surface science
  • Ultrafast spectroscopy
  • Materials science

Background:

  • Surface processes occur on pico- to femtosecond timescales.
  • Studying these requires advanced surface science techniques and ultrafast laser pulses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Investigate nanoscale heat transport and vibrational damping.
  • Analyze ultrafast, non-thermal phase transitions at surfaces.

Main Methods:

  • Pump-probe spectroscopy with femtosecond (fs) laser pulses.
  • Ultrafast reflection high-energy electron diffraction (URHEED) for surface sensitivity.
  • Debye-Waller effect and spot profile analysis for heat transport and cooling rates.

Main Results:

  • Determined nanoscale heat transport through hetero-interfaces and vibrational damping in adsorbate systems.
  • Measured varying cooling rates of epitaxial Ge nanostructures.
  • Demonstrated non-thermal, fs-driven phase transition of In/Si(111) surface reconstruction.

Conclusions:

  • Femtosecond laser techniques enable probing of ultrafast surface dynamics.
  • The In/Si(111) system exhibits a metastable supercooled state after a non-thermally driven phase transition.
