Radiation damage to fullerite „C60... in the transmission electron microscope
نویسندگان
چکیده
Electron energy-loss spectroscopy was used to monitor structural damage to solid C60 as a function of electron exposure. The characteristic dose was found to be in the range 300–700 C/cm for incident energies in the range 100–200 keV and specimen temperatures between 100 and 300 K. The absolute value of this dose, and its energy and temperature dependence, suggest that the damage mechanism is predominantly electronic rather than knock-on displacement. © 1999 American Institute of Physics. @S0003-6951~99!04339-9#

Two-dimensional (2D) materials have considerably expanded the field of materials science in the past decade. Even more recently, various 2D materials have been assembled into vertical van der Waals heterostacks, and it has been proposed to combine them with other low-dimensional structures to create new materials with hybridized properties. We demonstrate the first direct images of a suspended ...
متن کاملHydrogen adsorption and phase transitions in fullerite
Hydrogen desorption and adsorption properties of the fullerene materials C60 , C70, and fullerite ~a mixture of C60 and C70) were measured volumetrically using a Sievert’s apparatus. Over several cycles of isotherm measurements at 77 K, the hydrogen storage capacities of one of the fullerite samples increased from an initial value of 0.4 wt % for the first cycle to a capacity of 4.4 wt % for th...
متن کاملProgress and perspectives for atomic-resolution electron microscopy.
The transmission electron microscope (TEM) has evolved into a highly sophisticated instrument that is ideally suited to the characterization of advanced materials. Atomic-level information is routinely accessible using both fixed-beam and scanning TEMs. This report briefly considers developments in the field of atomic-resolution electron microscopy. Recent activities include renewed attention t...
متن کاملQuantitative evaluation of radiation damage to polyethylene terephthalate by soft X-rays and high-energy electrons.
The chemical changes and absolute rates in radiation damage to polyethylene terephthalate (PET) caused by soft X-rays and energetic electrons have been measured using a scanning transmission X-ray microscope (STXM). Electron beam damage at two different dose rates and a range of doses was performed in an 80 keV transmission electron microscope (TEM). The STXM beam was used to create damage patt...
متن کاملNucleotide-Specific Contrast for DNA Sequencing by Electron Spectroscopy
DNA sequencing by imaging in an electron microscope is an approach that holds promise to deliver long reads with low error rates and without the need for amplification. Earlier work using transmission electron microscopes, which use high electron energies on the order of 100 keV, has shown that low contrast and radiation damage necessitates the use of heavy atom labeling of individual nucleotid...
