Abstract Carbon and carbon/metal systems with a multitude of functionalities are ubiquitous in new technologies but understanding on the nanoscale remains elusive due to their affinity for interaction environment limitations available characterization techniques. This paper introduces spectroscopic technique demonstrates its capacity reveal chemical variations carbon. The effectiveness this approach is validated experimentally through spatially averaging techniques using Monte Carlo...

Compared a standard side‐attached detector, which only weak electrostatic nearly no field influence signal trajectories vicinity, (lower) upper detectors an immersion system with but strong...
Abstract This paper presents computed dependencies of the detected electron energy distribution on water vapour pressure in an environmental scanning microscope obtained using EOD software with a Monte Carlo plug-in for electron-gas interactions. The GEANT was used simulations beam-sample interactions and signal emission from sample into gaseous environment. were carried out selected energies electrons collected by two electrodes different diameters voltages +350 V 0, respectively, then 0 V,...
Two-dimensional materials, such as graphene, are usually prepared by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on selected substrates, and their transfer is completed with a supporting layer, mostly polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). Indeed, the PMMA has to be removed precisely obtain predicted superior properties of graphene after process. We demonstrate new effective technique achieve polymer-free CVD — utilizing low-energy electron irradiation in scanning microscope (SLEEM). The influence...
The success of machine learning (ML) models in object or pattern recognition naturally leads to ML being employed the classification microstructure steel surfaces.

Intuitive realizations about easiness attracting SEs towards biased front grid shown themselves...
New type of detection system has been designed and tested in the Scanning Electron Microscope. Backscattered electrons (BSE) at low energies electron impact are collected by an annular detector above specimen, consisting eight concentric ring-shaped collectors arranged around optical axis so that polar angles initial velocity vectors can be distinguished. Backscattering electrons, particular below 1 keV energy, provides rich information content even enhances toward higher with respect to...
Scanning electron microscopes come equipped with different types of detectors for the collection signal electrons emitted from samples. In-lens detection systems mostly consist several auxiliary electrodes that help to travel in a direction towards detector.
