Application of the high-voltage electron microscope to quantitative defect-production studies using in-situ electrical-resistivity measurements
There is no question of the great potential of the HVEM for in-situ studies, particularly in the field of radiation damage. The HVEM provides the best-defined experimental irradiation conditions that are available. However, the techniques for quantitatively studying in-situ defect production have lacked the sensitivity of the techniques (e.g., electrical resistivity) used in typical accelerator experiments. Now, side-entry type, single-tilt cryogenic specimen stage that has the capability of in-situ electrical resistivity measurements at T < 10 K in the Kratos-AEI EM7 1200-keV HVEM at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) has been developed. This stage permits not only in-situ electrical resistivity measurements, but also insitu irradiation and observation of the same specimen. This technique has been applied to the determination of the threshold-energy surface for copper, the results of which are repored elsewhere in these proceedings.
