Subatomic Channeling and Helicon-Type Beams in SrTiO3

Abstract: Inspired by recent experimental sub-atomic measurements using analytical aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopes (STEMs), we studied electron probe propagation in crystalline SrTiO3 at the sub-atomic length scale. Here, we report the existence of sub-atomic channeling and the formation of a vortex beam at this scale. The results of beam propagation simulations, which are performed at various crystal temperatures and STEM probe convergence angles (10 to 50 mrad) and beam energies (80 to … Show more

“…Such beam behavior in the second layer may cause unexpected results in ADF-STEM images as well as in spectroscopic elemental maps. Additionally, in cases of very small misalignment between atomic columns, through-column channeling in the first layer results in sub-atomic channeling in the second layer [29]. It is particularly evident in the depth profiles at the SnO column position in the region ② with clear sub-atomic channeling around the AlO column in the LAO layer ( Fig.…”

“…All the simulations presented here are hence performed using the AlO STEM probe parameters were set as: beam energy of 200 keV, a convergence angle of 20 mrad, and defocus in the range from -8 nm to 32 nm. Cs was set to be 0 as the differences between probes with small, aberration corrected Cs and Cs = 0 are negligible [22,29]. Thermal diffuse scattering was included using frozen-phonon approximation for T = 300 K [23].…”

“…the center of the atomic column and its atomic number (Jeong et al, 2019). The behavior of electron channeling across heterointerfaces and multilayers controls the image contrast of interfacial misfit dislocation networks in STEM-based images (Perovic et al, 1993a(Perovic et al, , 1993bKourkoutis et al, 2011;Oveisi et al, 2019).…”

“…Therefore, the nature of the specimen and the characteristics of the incident electron probe control how the channeling electrons produce the various types of scattered and emitted signals. Simulations of electron channeling at a subatomic length scale (Jeong et al, 2019) demonstrated that subatomic channeling of high-energy electrons could occur and such electron-channeling effects could even produce helicon-type electron beams (Fig. 17).…”
