22
Q

Identify the unit cell of the honeycomb lattice (small dots) and the rectangular lattice (big dots). And what are the unit vector lengths of the two types of unit cells?

A

Honeycomb is hexagonal unit cell with edge length √3 angstroms.

Rectangular cell has edge lengths 2√3 and 3 angstroms

23
Q

What is the typical energy and wavelength of visible light in an optical microscope?

A

Energy: ~ 2 eV

Wavelength: ~ 600 nm

24
Q

What is the typical energy and wavelength of electrons in a SEM?

A

Energy: ~ 10 keV

Wavelength: ~ 0.1 angstom

25
Q

What is the typical energy and wavelength of photons used in x-ray diffraction?

A

Energy: ~ 10 keV

Wavelength: ~ 1 angstrom

26
Q

Which energy level makes copper a good conductor?

A

4s (this is the conduction electron)

27
Q

In x-ray terminology, what are the names for the x-ray line #1, #2, and #3 (see marked)?

A

line #1: Kα2

line #2: Kα1

line #3: Kβ

28
Q

The 2p atomic shell has two energy levels, what causes such a splitting?

A

spin-orbit splitting (or l-s, l+s)

29
Q

What is the ratio of electron population between the higher energy level (#4) and the lower one (#5), and why?

A

2:1

The l+s=3/2 level has 4 states, the l-s=1/2 level has 2 states.

30
Q

What is the function of a Gobel mirror, how is it able to achieve both beam monochromation and collimation?

A

It focuses x-ray by following contour of parabola and place the source at focal point (collimation), and the way it reflects x-ray is through Bragg diffraction (strict wavelength correlation leads to monochromation).

31
Q

What are the five lenses usually called in this system? Name them sequentially from the top down.

A

2 x condenser lens

objective lens

2 x projector lens

32
Q

Which of these two configurations is the diffraction mode?

A

Left

33
Q

How is selected area diffraction (SAD) performed with a TEM?

A

In imaging mode, use selected area aperture to select region of interest. Switch back to diffraction mode.

34
Q

Two aperture positions are marked 1&2, what are their corresponding apertures named? Which can be used to enhance mass density contrast and why?

A

1 - objective aperture

2 - selected area aperture

Objective aperture used to enhance mass density contrast because it can block scattered beams from denser regions, thus enhancing contrast.

35
Q

Explain the formation of Kikuchi lines.

A

Defects scatter beams which then go through Bragg diffraction on two sides, leading to a pair of lines.

36
Q

Explain the formation of bending contours.

A

On a curved surface, Bragg diffraction can be met on two locations and they distort beams away leading to a pair of dark lines on the image.

37
Q

How do we distinguish mass density contrast from diffraction contrast under TEM?

A

Tilt the sample (diffraction contrast changes dramatically with angle while mass density does not).

38
Q

Draw the (20¯23) atomic plane.

A
39
Q

What is a hydrogen bond and why is it unique to hydrogen?

A

When hydrogen atom partially loses its electron it becomes extremley small and can very closely approach other positive ions and form a bond with Coulomb forces. It is unique to hydrogen because of its smallness.

40
Q

What is the difference between a “textured” and “epitaxial” film?

A

Epitaxial means ordered in all 3 directions, textured means ordered only in the out-of-plane direction.
