There has been considerable interest in characterizing the electronic and chemical properties of interfaces and grain boundries at high spatial resolution. This abstract describes a technique which utilizes the energy dispersion of surface plasmons in the transmission electron energy loss spectrum to evaluate the local dielectric constant variation across interfaces. This technique is shown to yield extremely high spatial resolution.We have been conducting studies of interfaces in a VG HB-5 STEM located at NRRFSS which is equipped with a high resolution electron energy loss analyzer. In STEM, using small probes, a typical surface plasmon excited by 100 keV electrons (Al for example) reaches its asymptotic energy value at a scattering angle between.3 and.4 mr. Since we are convoluting the incident angular distribution with the surface plasmon intensities integrated over a collection aperture, the surface plasmon excitation energies are given by their asymptotic (in k-space) energy values. These asymptotic energy excitations are very sensitive functions of the thickness and dielectric constant [eg, 2-5] of the surrounding medium.

Surface Plasmon Microscopy

Surface plasmon microscopy has been of interest to the science and engineering community and has been utilized in broad aspects of applications and studies, including biochemical sensing and biomolecular binding kinetics. The benefits of surface plasmon microscopy include label-free detection, high sensitivity, and quantitative measurements. Here, a theoretical framework to analyze and compare several non-interferometric surface plasmon microscopes is proposed. The scope of the study is to (1) identify the strengths and weaknesses in each surface plasmon microscopes reported in the literature; (2) quantify their performance in terms of spatial imaging resolution, imaging contrast, sensitivity, and measurement accuracy for quantitative and non-quantitative imaging modes of the microscopes. Six types of non-interferometric microscopes were included in this study: annulus aperture scanning, half annulus aperture scanning, single-point scanning, double-point scanning, single-point scanning, at 45 degrees azimuthal angle, and double-point scanning at 45 degrees azimuthal angle. For non-quantitative imaging, there is a substantial tradeoff between the image contrast and the spatial resolution. For the quantitative imaging, the half annulus aperture provided the highest sensitivity of 127.058 rad/μm2 RIU−1, followed by the full annulus aperture of 126.318 rad/μm2 RIU−1. There is a clear tradeoff between spatial resolution and sensitivity. The annulus aperture and half annulus aperture had an optimal resolution, sensitivity, and crosstalk compared to the other non-interferometric surface plasmon resonance microscopes. The resolution depends strongly on the propagation length of the surface plasmons rather than the numerical aperture of the objective lens. For imaging and sensing purposes, the recommended microfluidic channel size and protein stamping size for surface plasmon resonance experiments is at least 25 μm for accurate plasmonic measurements.
