“Current and future perspectives on in situ TEM using semiconductor-based active sample supports” – John Damiano, Protochips Inc.
The idea of in situ experiments in the electron microscope is nearly as old as the instrument itself, and only recently have commercial in situ systems emerged to analyze materials under reaction conditions at the nano and atomic scale. Creating tools for in situ TEM is challenging mainly due to the confined area in the column and small pole piece gaps frequently found in modern microscopes. To address this problem, semiconductor fabrication techniques are being used to create devices with a high level of functionality in a small package. These techniques enable large-scale, reliable fabrication of closed cells that form the foundation of in situ liquid and gas systems. Recent results demonstrating atomic-resolution imaging and analysis at high temperatures and in liquid environments will be presented.
