摘要：

We present a new differential-thickness coating technique to analyze insulating samples with X-ray PhotoElectron Emission spectroMicroscopy (X-PEEM). X-PEEM is non-destructive, analyzes the chemical composition and crystal structure of minerals and can spatially resolve chemical species with a resolution presently reaching 35 nm. We tested the differential coating by analyzing a 4.4 billion-year-old zircon (ZrSiO4) containing silicate inclusions. We observed quartz (SiO2) inclusions smaller than 1 mum in size that can only be analyzed non-destructively with synchrotron spectromicroscopies. With the removal of charging we greatly extend the range of samples that can be analyzed by X-PEEM. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
