Determination of field ion tip shapes
نویسنده
چکیده
An empirical method has been developed for determining the tip shapes from field ion micrographs utilizing digitization and computer graphics techniques. Application of this method to tungsten and iridium specimens indicates that the tip profiles deviate significantly from a hemisphere, and on a fine scale the shape varies from region to region over the specimen surface. However, for practical purposes the entire endform can be represented by a polynomial of degree 4 or 5 .

متن کاملModelling of Atomic Imaging and Evaporation in the Field Ion Microscope
Imaging and evaporation of atoms in the field ion microscope (FIM) has been modelled by using finite difference methods to calculate the voltage distribution around a tip and hence the electric field strength experienced by individual atoms. Atoms are evaporated based on field strength using a number of different mathematical models which yield broadly similar results. The tip shapes and simula...
