Interface Structures

ABSTRACTCoGa/GaAs and ErAs/GaAs grown by molecular-beam epitaxy have been studied using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The epitactic interfaces have been shown to be abrupt on the atomic scale. Computer simulations of the HRTEM images have been obtained for different interface structures under various specimen and image conditions. Practical problems in the comparison between the simulated and experimental images are discussed.

Exopolymeric Substance

ABSTRACT High-pressure freeze-substitution and transmission electron microscopy have been used for high-resolution imaging of the natural structure of a gram-negative biofilm. Unlike more conventional embedding techniques, this method confirms many of the observations seen by confocal microscopy but with finer structural detail. It further reveals that there is a structural complexity to biofilms at both the cellular and extracellular matrix levels that has not been seen before. Different domains of healthy and lysed cells exist randomly dispersed within a single biofilm as well as different structural organizations of exopolymers. Particulate matter is suspended within this network of fibers and appears to be an integral part of the exopolymeric substance (EPS). O-side chains extending from the outer membrane are integrated into EPS polymers so as to form a continuum. Together, the results support the concept of physical microenvironments within biofilms and show a complexity that was hitherto unknown.

Surface Facets

ABSTRACTSurfaces of commercially grown edge-defined film-fed growth sapphire (EFG α-Al2O3) were studied in the electron microscope using both reflection electron microscopy (REM) and conventional transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The as-grown sapphire surface, ostensibly {1120}, was characterized by “rooftop” structures which were often locally periodic. These rooftop structures consisted of alternating {1120} facets and additional facets inclined a few degrees. The crystallography of the surface facets was analyzed using REM imaging of bulk specimens, and trace analysis of back-thinned plan section TEM specimens. Surface roughness was measured by stylus profilometry. and these measurements were compared to the electron microscopy observations. Fine structural features parallel to <0110> directions were also observed in both REM and TEM experiments, and these were attributed to surface steps of atomic scales.

The rapid progress in materials science that enables the design of materials down to the nanoscale also demands characterization techniques able to analyze the materials down to the same scale, such as transmission electron microscopy. As Belgium’s foremost electron microscopy group, among the largest in the world, EMAT is continuously contributing to the development of TEM techniques, such as high-resolution imaging, diffraction, electron tomography, and spectroscopies, with an emphasis on quantification and reproducibility, as well as employing TEM methodology at the highest level to solve real-world materials science problems. The lab’s recent contributions are presented here together with specific case studies in order to highlight the usefulness of TEM to the advancement of materials science.
