Crystallographic phase identification in the scanning electron microscope: Backscattered electron Kikuchi patterns

Conference ·
OSTI ID:10146083

Use of charge coupled device-based detector for acquisition of high-quality backscattered electron Kikuchi patterns (BEKP) allows on-line crystallographic phase identification in the SEM. Phase identification through combined BEKP and energy dispersive x-ray spectrometry is demonstrated using Ru oxide thin films on Si, which were identified as tetragonal RuO{sub 2}. (DLC)
