Abstract:
Electron diffraction patterns obtained in TEM have long been an important part of microstructural characterizations. Certain materials, such as crystalline silicas, are amorphized in the fast electron beam of the TEM, and their aperiodic (metamict) structure is of interest. For amorphous materials, both elastically and inelastically scattered electrons contribute to the diffuse diffraction pattern. Analysis of aperiodic structure, however, requires intensity data from only elastically scattered electrons, and it is therefore it is necessary to obtain energy-filtered electron diffraction patterns. With the energy-filtered electron diffraction technique, the background intensity that is mainly due to inelastically scattered electrons is removed. This makes possible the derivation of radial distribution functions (RDFs) from collected electron diffraction intensity data for uniform aperiodic structures.

Abstract:
This year marks the 100th anniversary of the discovery of X-ray diffraction and the 85th anniversary of electron diffraction (see Microscopy Pioneers). For most of the time since their introduction, microscopists have known these two techniques as the primary phase identification methods used in conjunction with various microscopies. However, these two diffraction methods also have played enormous roles in understanding the structure of matter, as well as the nature of both X rays and electrons.

Abstract:
Diffraction patterns of 3D protein crystals embedded in vitrious ice are critical to record. Inelastically scattered electrons almost completely superimpose the diffraction pattern of crystals if the thickness of the crystal is higher than the mean free path of electrons in the specimen. Figure 1 shows such an example of an unfiltered electron diffraction pattern from a frozen hydrated 3D catalase crystal. However, for thin 2D crystals electron diffraction has been the state of the art method to determine the Fourier amplitudes for reconstructions to atomic level, and in one case the possibility of obtaining Fourier phases from diffraction patterns has been studied. One of the main problems could be the background in the diffraction pattern due to inelastic scattering and the recording characteristics for electrons of conventional negative material.It was pointed out before, that the use of an energy filtered TEM (EFTEM) and of the Image Plate as a large area electron detector gives considerable improvement for detection of diffraction patterns.

Abstract:
In conventional TEM (CTEM), image contrast is determined by scattering absorption contrast, diffraction contrast and phase contrast. Phase contrast is produced by the interference of unscattered electrons and elastically scattered electrons. Scattering absorption contrast and diffraction contrast are produced by angle selection of the scattered electrons using an objective aperture diaphragm for brightfield, darkfield and diffraction images.In an EFEM, with an integrated imaging electron energy-loss spectrometer, angle selection is used as in CTEM, but, additionally, it is possible to perform energy selection. This is done from the energy-loss spectrum obtained for the specimen area imaged. Energy selection permits the elimination of all inelastically scattered electrons to improve contrast for brightfield, darkfield and diffraction images. This technique also permits imaging of selected, e.g. e1ement-characteristic, ine1astica11y scattered electrons. Images obtained in this way display object- specific or e1ement-specific contrast and are termed electron or element-spectroscopic images (ESI).

Abstract:
Different stages in the mineralization of calcified tissues can be investigated by electron diffraction. A disadvantage is the strong background below the Debye—Scherrer rings caused by the large massthickness of calcified products and the high ratio (≃ 3) of the inelastic—to—elastic scattering cross—sections of the embedding material. Therefore, a large fraction of the background consists of inelastically scattered electrons with energy losses. The electron spectroscopic diffraction (ESD) mode of an energy—filtering microscope (ZEISS EM902) allows to record diffraction patterns using only the zero—loss electrons which consist of the primary beam, Bragg diffracted electrons and a smaller fraction of elastically scattered electrons between the Debye—Scherrer rings by thermal—diffuse scattering. Small—area diffraction patterns with different camera lengths are generated at the filter—entrance plane and the zero—loss electrons are selected by a slit in the energy—dispersive plane behind the Castaing—Henry filter lens.

Abstract:
We review the effects of scattering-interference of the primary, exciting beam on the electron emission from ordered atomic arrays. The yield of elastically and inelastically backscattered electrons, Auger electrons and secondary electrons shows a marked dependence on the incidence angle of primary electrons. Both the similarity and the relative importance of processes experienced by incident and excident electrons are discussed. We also present recent studies of electron focusing and defocusing along atomic chains. The interplay between these two processes determines the in-depth profile of the primary electron intensity anisotropy. Finally, the potential for surface-structural studies and limits for quantitative analysis are discussed, in comparison with the Auger electron diffraction (AED) and photoelectron diffraction (PD) techniques.

Abstract:
We present results on ultrafast gas electron diffraction (UGED) experiments with femtosecond resolution using the MeV electron gun at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. UGED is a promising method to investigate molecular dynamics in the gas phase because electron pulses can probe the structure with a high spatial resolution. Until recently, however, it was not possible for UGED to reach the relevant timescale for the motion of the nuclei during a molecular reaction. Using MeV electron pulses has allowed us to overcome the main challenges in reaching femtosecond resolution, namely delivering short electron pulses on a gas target, overcoming the effect of velocity mismatch between pump laser pulses and the probe electron pulses, and maintaining a low timing jitter. At electron kinetic energies above 3 MeV, the velocity mismatch between laser and electron pulses becomes negligible. The relativistic electrons are also less susceptible to temporal broadening due to the Coulomb force. One of the challenges of diffraction with relativistic electrons is that the small de Broglie wavelength results in very small diffraction angles. In this paper we describe the new setup and its characterization, including capturing static diffraction patterns of molecules in the gas phase, finding time-zero with sub-picosecond accuracy and first time-resolved diffraction experiments. The new device can achieve a temporal resolution of 100 fs root-mean-square, and sub-angstrom spatial resolution. The collimation of the beam is sufficient to measure the diffraction pattern, and the transverse coherence is on the order of 2 nm. Currently, the temporal resolution is limited both by the pulse duration of the electron pulse on target and by the timing jitter, while the spatial resolution is limited by the average electron beam current and the signal-to-noise ratio of the detection system. We also discuss plans for improving both the temporal resolution and the spatial resolution.

Abstract:
Microanalysis and diffraction on a sub-nanometre scale have become practical in modern TEMs due to the high brightness of field emission sources combined with the short mean free paths associated with both elastic and inelastic scattering of incident electrons by the specimen. However, development of electron diffraction as a quantitative discipline has been limited by the absence of any generalised theory for dynamical inelastic scattering. These problems have been simplified by recent innovations, principally the introduction of spectrometers such as the Gatan imaging filter (GIF) and the Zeiss omega filter, which remove the inelastic electrons, combined with annual improvements in the speed of computer workstations and the availability of solid-state detectors with high resolution, sensitivity and dynamic range.Comparison of experimental data with dynamical calculations imposes stringent requirements on the specimen and the electron optics, even when the inelastic component has been removed. For example, no experimental CBED pattern ever has perfect symmetry, departures from the ideal being attributable to residual strain, thickness averaging, inclined surfaces, incomplete cells and amorphous surface layers.

Abstract:
In electron diffraction patterns, diffuse scattering at high angles is primarily generated by phonon, or thermal diffuse, scattering (TDS). Techniques were introduced to acquire the electron energy-loss spectra (EELS) of high-angle thermal-diffuse-scattered electrons (TDS-EELS) in a transmission electron microscope (TEM). With regards to the scattering mechanism, the TDS-EELS core ionization edge intensity was believed to be generated primarily by TDS - single electron, double-inelastic electron scattering processes. It was concluded from experimental data that the signal from coupled phonon - atomic inner shell excitations is stronger than that from atomic inner shell excitation alone. A formal dynamical theory is presented in this paper to illustrate the theoretical basis of the experimental observations. The theory can be applied to calculate the diffraction patterns of inelastically double-scattered electrons and the signal intensity observed in TDS-EELS.TDS is actually a statistically averaged, quasi-elastic scattering of the electrons by the crystal lattice of different thermal vibration configurations.

Abstract:
The dynamics of atomic scale structures during structural change can be studied by Ultrafast Electron Diffraction (UED). The time resolution needed to reveal the fastest dynamics is 100 fs. Sub-angstrom structural resolution becomes possible with 1-1000 pC of charge necessary for diffraction pattern analysis during subtle structural changes. This combination of requirements cannot currently be realized due to the space-charge temporal broadening inherent to bunches of electrons of high fluence and short temporal duration. Simulations show that the incorporation of a specially designed Radio-Frequncy (RF) cavity into the UED apparatus removes this technical limitation. The RF cavity reverses the near linear position-momentum distribution of the temporally broadened electron bunch, causing the bunch to recompress itself as it propagates. It is found that our proposed method allows for sub-100 fs bunches with maximum charge of 0.6 pC, almost 3 orders of magnitude improvement over today's state of the art.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis aims to comprehensively discuss ultrafast electron di raction and its role in temporally resolving ultrafast dynamics on the molecular level. Theory on electron pulses and electron pulse propagation will be covered, but the main focus will be on the method, equipment and experimental setup required to generate sub-picosecond electron pulses, which are needed to perform time resolved experiments. The design and construction of an electron gun needed to produce the electron pulses will be shown in detail, while preliminary pulse characterization experiments will also be illustrated. An introduction into the theory of electron diffraction patterns and how to interpret these diffraction patterns will conclude the thesis.

Abstract:
This thesis contains two main parts: the first part focusses on an electron diffraction study on unsupported antimony (Sb) clusters, while in the second part the design and development of a time-of-flight mass spectrometer (TOFMS) is discussed. Electron diffraction is an ideal tool to study the structure of clusters entrained in a beam. The main advantage of this technique is the ability to study the clusters in situ and in an interaction-free environment. It is therefore not necessary to remove the particles from the vacuum system which would lead to oxidation. Since the particles do not have to be deposited on a sample for further investigation, there is also no substrate which could influence the cluster structure. An additional advantage is the short exposure to the electron beam, thereby minimising the likelihood of damaging the particles. Sb clusters were produced using an inert-gas aggregation source. To control the cluster properties the source temperature, pressure and type of cooling gas can be adjusted. In the range of source parameters tested, Sb clusters with three different structures were observed: a crystalline structure corresponding to the rhombohedral structure of bulk Sb, an amorphous structure equivalent to the structure of amorphous Sb thin films, and a structure with the same diffraction signature as Sb4 (Sb evaporates mainly as Sb4). This last structure was found to belong to large particles consisting of randomly oriented Sb4 units. In order to study the size distributions and morphologies of the Sb clusters, the clusters were deposited onto substrates and studied under an electron microscope. The crystalline particles showed a wide variety of strongly faceted shapes. Depending on source conditions, the average cluster diameters ranged from 15 to 130 nm. There was a considerable disagreement between these values and the size estimates from the diffraction results with the latter being smaller by an order of magnitude. This might be due to the existence of domains inside the clusters. The amorphous particles were all found to be spherical with mean sizes between 27 and 45 nm. The Sb4 particles showed a liquid-like morphology and tended to coalesce easily. Their sizes ranged from 18 to 35 nm. To obtain an independent method for determining the cluster size, a TOFMS was designed and developed in collaboration with Dr Bernhard Kaiser. However, the TOFMS failed to detect a cluster signal in the original set-up which is most likely due to a defective ioniser and underestimated cluster energies. Further tests were performed in a new vacuum system and mass spectra for palladium clusters were successfully recorded.

Abstract:
AbstractThe contributions of Otto Stern to the discovery of wave-particle duality of matter particles predicted by de Broglie are reviewed. After a short introduction to the early matter-vs-wave ideas about light, the events are highlighted which lead to de Broglie’s idea that all particles, also massive particles, should exhibit wave behavior with a wavelength inversely proportional to their mass. The first confirming experimental evidence came for electrons from the diffraction experiments of Davisson and Germer and those of Thomson. The first demonstration for atoms, with three orders of magnitude smaller wave lengths, came from Otto Stern’s laboratory shortly afterwards in 1929 in a remarkable tour de force experiment. After Stern’s forced departure from Hamburg in 1933 it took more than 40 years to reach a similar level of experimental perfection as achieved then in Stern’s laboratory. Today He atom diffraction is a powerful tool for studying the atomic and electronic structure and dynamics of surfaces. With the advent of nanotechnology nanoscopic transmission gratings have led to many new applications of matter waves in chemistry and physics, which are illustrated with a few examples and described in more detail in the following chapters.

Abstract:
We present initial results of picosecond time resolved diffraction from GaAs(111) crystals using plasma generated, ultrafast x-ray pulses. Laser excitation of the GaAs transfers electron population from the valence into the conduction band. Such an excitation typically produces a hot electron gas in the conduction band that thermalizes with the lattice via phonon emission with a time constant of about 2 ps.[1, 2] However, upon transfer of a few percent of all valence electrons, the cohesive energy binding the atoms in the crystal lattice changes, which can lead to a rapid modification of the crystal structure.[3-8] This process, which does not require the thermalization of electrons and phonons, can proceed on femtosecond timescales. Both effects, which substantially disturb the equilibrium crystal structure, are in principle detectable by ultrafast x-ray diffraction, as are other effects such as melting and shock wave propagation.

Abstract:
Hans Bethe in 1966 theoretically predicted the shadowlike diffraction effects in the forward (θ ≈ D – 1°) elastic scattering cross sections of low-energy electrons off atoms such as He, Ne, and Ar and explained them as being due to the coupling of inelastic scattering channels. By scattering 10-25-eV electrons off Ne in the forward direction (θ up to 20 mrad), Geiger and Moran1 found the diffraction effects (superimposed on the Born approximation). This shadow diffraction occurs not at the atom edge (radius γ0) but at the sheath surrounding (radius R) the atom due to agglomeration of the inelastic scattered electrons.

Abstract:
As much as 25% self-diffraction has been observed at the surface of n-GaAs:Te when two pumps (and a weak probe) intersect with an internal angle of 0.15 rad in the Raman–Nath regime. The photoinduced gratings decayed in less than 100 ps. The diffraction efficiency was nearly independent of sample thickness (40 μm and 350 μm), and careful investigation has shown that the diffraction arose primarily at the surface and was resonant just below the band edge. It is proposed that band-bending at the surface states causes increased absorption and results in a sheet of optically induced charge. The faster diffusion of electrons relative to holes allows a transient charge separation to a distance of one diffusion length (1 μm). As a result, a space-charge field is formed (Dember field) that can cause an index change through the Franz–Keldysh effect. The resulting transient grating can cause the large observed diffraction. This new BEST effect has potential for optical-switching applications.
