Abstract

A complete understanding of the complexities behind the structure-property relationships at materials interfaces requires the structure, composition and bonding to be characterized on the fundamental atomic scale. This level of characterization is beyond the scope of a single imaging or microanalysis technique and so to solve practical interface problems, correlation between multiple techniques must be achieved. Here we describe recent advances in the JEOL 2010F 200kV field-emission STEM/TEM that now allow atomic resolution imaging and analysis to be obtained in both TEM and STEM mode and discuss two applications of these techniques
