Abstract Forming and breaking a nanometer-sized conductive area are commonly accepted as the physical phenomenon involved in the switching mechanism of oxide resistive random access memories (OxRRAM). This study investigates a state-of-the-art OxRRAM device by in-situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Combining high spatial resolution obtained with a very small probe scanned over the area of interest of the sample and chemical analyses with electron energy loss spectroscopy, the local chemical state of the device can be compared before and after applying an electrical bias. This in-situ approach allows simultaneous TEM observation and memory cell operation. After the in-situ forming, a filamentary migration of titanium within the dielectric hafnium dioxide layer has been evidenced. This migration may be at the origin of the conductive path responsible for the low and high resistive states of the memory.

Abstract: A set of uranium compound particles relevant to contaminated soils and other environmental concerns surrounding uranium bioavailability were studied by electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS). Core-loss EELS results suggest that uranium 4+ compounds have an energy loss resolvable from 6+ compounds. Shoulders on the uranium O4,5 edge further distinguish UO2 from UF4. Low-loss characteristics distinguish carbon-free uranium oxide specimens on holey substrates. In the presence of carbon, correction techniques must be applied. Uranium oxides, fluorides, and minerals show a tendency toward reduction of uranium toward 4+ under the beam. The electron dose required to achieve the transformation from 6+ to 4+ is more severe than that usually required to obtain satisfactory spectra, but the possibility for reduction should be considered. The conditions for low-loss analysis need not be as vigorous as those for core losses, and can be done without altering the valence of most oxides.

Laihunite that has distorted olivine-type structure with ferric and ferrous irons and ordered distribution of vacancies was first discovered in a high-grade metamorphosed banded iron formation (BIF) [1, 2]. The laihunite coexisting with fayalite (Fe-olivine), magnetite, quartz, ferrosilite, garnet and hedenbergite, formed in the process of oxidation of fayalite [2, 3]. The structure refinement of 1-layer laihunite shows P21/b symmetry and ordered distribution of vacancies in half M1 sites of olivine structure [2, 3]. Early high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) study and HRTEM image simulation of the 1-layer laihunite verified the structure refinement [4].Specimens of weakly oxidized fayalite and laihunite containing fayalite islands collected from Xiaolaihe and Menjiagou of Liaoning Province, NE China, have been studied using selected area electron diffraction (SAED), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS), and X-ray energy-dispersive spectroscopy.
