It is an enabling technology that not only provides imagery of conducting as well as uncoated insulating nano–structures but also allows to create these features. The latter can be achieved using resists or material removal due to sputtering. The close to free–form sculpting of structures over several length scales has been made possible by the extension of the method to other gases such as Neon. A brief introduction of the underlying physics as well as a broad review of the applicability of the method is presented in this review. I. INTRODUCTION High resolution imaging, in particular in biology and materials science, is mostly done using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The ease of use and the widespread availability has made this the number one method for imaging in the aforementioned fields. Structuring and manipulation of nano–sized features is traditionally the domain of Focused Ion Beams. Here, mainly liquid metal ion sources (LMIS) using Gallium are used.

  • Implementation of Atomically Defined Field Ion Microscopy Tips in Scanning Probe Microscopy
    Implementation of atomically defined Field Ion Microscopy tips in Scanning Probe Microscopy William Paul, Yoichi Miyahara, and Peter Grütter Department of Physics, Faculty of Science, McGill University, Montreal, Canada. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The Field Ion Microscope (FIM) can be used to characterize the atomic configuration of the apex of sharp tips. These tips are well suited for Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) since they predetermine SPM resolution and electronic structure for spectroscopy. A protocol is proposed to preserve the atomic structure of the tip apex from etching due to gas impurities during the transfer period from FIM to SPM, and estimations are made regarding the time limitations of such an experiment due to contamination by ultra-high vacuum (UHV) rest gases. While avoiding any current setpoint overshoot to preserve the tip integrity, we present results from approaches of atomically defined tungsten tips to the tunneling regime with Au(111), HOPG, and Si(111) surfaces at room temperature. We conclude from these experiments that adatom mobility and physisorbed gas on the sample surface limit the choice of surfaces for which the tip integrity is preserved in tunneling experiments at room temperature. The atomic structure of FIM tip apices is unchanged only after tunneling to the highly reactive Si(111) surface. 1. Introduction experiments[7–11]. These, and other combined FIM/STM studies [12–15] shed light on some of the atom transfer The utility of the Field Ion Microscope (FIM) for processes in the tip-sample junction. A detailed study characterizing tips destined for Scanning Tunneling presenting a protocol for the preservation of tip apex structures Microscopy (STM) experiments was first considered by Fink in SPM experiments still does not exist.

Abstract Adhesion experiments with platinum and gold contacting tungsten and iridium field-ion- microscope emitter tips were conducted in vacuum. Platinum contacting tungsten at 300 K showed an ordered surface believed to represent mechanical transfer of the platinum onto the tungsten in an ordered manner. Gold contacting tungsten at 78 K showed essentially a random transfer with some clustering of gold atoms. Gold transferred onto iridium by contacting at 78 K presented an ordered appearance due to decoration of ledge sites by the gold atoms.

Laboratory of Organic Electronics, Department of Science and Technology (ITN), Campus Norrköping, Linköping University, SE-60174 Norrköping, Sweden Abstract This article presents a numerical model dedicated to the simulation of field ion microscopy (FIM). FIM was the first technique to image individual atoms on the surface of a material. By a careful control of the field evaporation of the atoms from the surface, the bulk of the material exposed, and, through a digitally processing a sequence of micrographs, a three-dimensional reconstruction can be achieved. 3DFIM is particularly suited to the direct observation of crystalline defects such as vacancies, interstitials, vacancy clusters, dislocations, and any combinations of theses defects that underpin the physical properties of materials. This makes 3DFIM extremely valuable for many material science and engineering applications, and further developing this technique is becoming crucial. The proposed model enables the simulation of imaging artefacts that are induced by non-regular field evaporation and by the impact of the perturbation of the electric field distribution of the distorted distribution of atoms close to defects.

  • Three-Dimensional Atomically-Resolved Analytical Imaging with a Field Ion Microscope Shyam Katnagallua, Felipe F
    Three-dimensional atomically-resolved analytical imaging with a field ion microscope Shyam Katnagallua, Felipe F. Morgadoa, Isabelle Moutona,$, Baptiste Gaulta,b, Leigh T. Stephensona,* aDepartment of Metal physics and alloy design, Max Planck Institut für Eisenforschung GmbH, Düsseldorf 40237, Germany bDepartment of Materials, Royal School of Mines, Imperial College London, London, SW7 2AZ, UK $ now at CEA Saclay Des/-Service de Recherches de Métallurgie Appliquée, Gif-sur-Yvette, France. Abstract Atom probe tomography (APT) helps elucidate the link between the nanoscale chemical variations and physical properties, but it has limited structural resolution. Field ion microscopy (FIM), a predecessor technique to APT, is capable of attaining atomic resolution along certain sets of crystallographic planes albeit at the expense of elemental identification. We demonstrate how two commercially-available atom probe instruments, one with a straight flight path and one fitted with a reflectron-lens, can be used to acquire time-of-flight mass spectrometry data concomitant with a FIM experiment. We outline various experimental protocols making use of temporal and spatial correlations to best discriminate field evaporated signals from the large field ionised background signal, demonstrating an unsophisticated yet efficient data mining strategy to provide this discrimination. We discuss the remaining experimental challenges that need be addressed, notably concerned with accurate detection and identification of individual field evaporated ions contained within the high field ionised flux that contributes to a FIM image. Our hybrid experimental approach can, in principle, exhibit true atomic resolution with elemental discrimination capabilities, neither of which atom probe nor field ion microscopy can individually fully deliver – thereby making this new approach, here broadly termed analytical field ion microscope (aFIM), unique.

Abstract The helium ion microscope (HIM) is a focussed ion beam instrument with unprecedented spatial resolution for secondary electron imaging but has traditionally lacked microanalytical capabilities. With the addition of the secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) attachment, the capabilities of the instrument have expanded to microanalysis of isotopes from Li up to hundreds of atomic mass units, effectively opening up the analysis of all natural and geological systems. However, the instrument has thus far been under- utilised by the geosciences community, due in no small part to a lack of a thorough understanding of the quantitative capabilities of the instrument. Li represents an ideal element for an exploration of the instrument as a tool for geological samples, due to its impor- tance for economic geology and a green economy, and the difficult nature of observing Li with traditional microanalytical tech- niques.
