Grids for Applications in High-Temperature High-Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy
Abstract
New TEM grids coated with ultrathin amorphous films have been developed using atomic layer deposition technique. The amorphous films can withstand temperatures over in air and in vacuum when the thickness of the film is 2 nm, and up to in air when the thickness is 25 nm, which makes heating TEM grids with nanoparticles up to in air and immediate TEM observation without interrupting the nanoparticles possible. Such coated TEM grids are very much desired for applications in high-temperature high-resolution transmission electron microscopy.
