Chalcogenide Thin Films Deposition | A Complete Overview
Chalcogenide thin films deposition through different coating methods such as sputtering, possess special properties for solar cells, fuel cell, batteries, etc.
Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM)
Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) is an improved version of SEM method with higher resolution imaging capability of micro and nano structures.
Transmission Electron Microscopy is a powerful tool that shows tiny structures in detail, allowing analysis of shape and elements of biological materials.
Electron Microscope Invention: A Historical Overview
The history of electron microscope began in 1931 by Ernst Ruska and Max Knoll.Electron microscope invention created a powerful method for surface investigation.
Plasma is the fourth state of matter that can be reached in high energies. When atoms in a gas gain extremely high temperatures it goes to plasma phase.
Sample Preparation for Scanning Electron Microscopy
SEM samples need to be prepared by a sample preparation process to intensify image clarity and a clean, dried, and conductive sample is ideal for SEM imaging.
What is Energy-Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDX)?
EDX is a tool for elemental analysis performed during EM through inelastic scattering of electrons with specimens and generation of X-ray characteristic peaks.
Thin film, deposition of a nano/micrometer thin layer, on the bulk material can help to improve its surface features, which is widely used in science & industry.
