PREMIER CAT - Dynamic Characterization of Interfacial Behavior Under Extreme Environments
EMSL Project ID
48600
Abstract
Interfacial science of nanomaterials and electronic devices under extreme environments are essential for their future developments and applications. At Drexel University, we are constrained by our LaB6 JEOL 2100 TEM and are unable to fully characterize the chemical and electrical properties of our materials due to our resolution limits and lack of analytical TEM. This proposal seeks to take advantage of the characterization equipment located in the Environmental Molecular Science Laboratory (EMSL) at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory to study oxidation behavior of both bulk and nanomaterials as well as degradation of transistors under application of electric field with extremely high spatial and energy resolution. Specifically, we propose to use ETEM (FEI Titan 80-300) and JEM-ARM200CF TEM, including EDS, EELS and Protochips and Hummingbird heating and gas holders to achieve these goals. The following sections describe the proposed experiments in detail.
