Atomic-scale chemical imaging of composition and bonding by aberration-corrected microscopy
Science, 2008•science.org
Using a fifth-order aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscope, which
provides a factor of 100 increase in signal over an uncorrected instrument, we demonstrated
two-dimensional elemental and valence-sensitive imaging at atomic resolution by means of
electron energy-loss spectroscopy, with acquisition times of well under a minute (for a 4096-
pixel image). Applying this method to the study of a La0. 7Sr0. 3MnO3/SrTiO3 multilayer, we
found an asymmetry between the chemical intermixing on the manganese-titanium and …

Using a fifth-order aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscope, which provides a factor of 100 increase in signal over an uncorrected instrument, we demonstrated two-dimensional elemental and valence-sensitive imaging at atomic resolution by means of electron energy-loss spectroscopy, with acquisition times of well under a minute (for a 4096-pixel image). Applying this method to the study of a La0.7Sr0.3MnO3/SrTiO3 multilayer, we found an asymmetry between the chemical intermixing on the manganese-titanium and lanthanum-strontium sublattices. The measured changes in the titanium bonding as the local environment changed allowed us to distinguish chemical interdiffusion from imaging artifacts.
