T. Kizuka et N. Tanaka, ATOMISTIC VISUALIZATION OF EPITAXIAL-GROWTH PROCESS USING A NEW TEM SPECIMEN HOLDER FOR VACUUM-DEPOSITION, Surface science, 386(1-3), 1997, pp. 249-253
A side-entry-type specimen holder for a high-resolution transmission e
lectron microscope (HRTEM) was developed for the atomistic visualizati
on of the vapor-phase epitaxial growth process. Gold was vacuum-deposi
ted on a (001) surface of a magnesium oxide substrate inside the HRTEM
using the specimen holder. It was found that structural modification
of a gold cluster and an interface can be observed cross-sectionally b
y time-resolved high-resolution transmission electron microscopy at a
spatial resolution of 0.2 nm and a time resolution of 1/60 s. (C) 1997
