摘要
Chemical mapping at atomic-column resolution by energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy in a spherical aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) has been demonstrated for the 1.47-angstrom dumbbell structure in InGaAs. The structural imaging and the chemical information in the two-dimensional map are directly correlated. Comparisons with the other existing mapping techniques of STEM in conjunction with electron energy-loss spectroscopy were discussed from aspects of ionization interactions.
