实验报告

一、    实验目的与任务

1. 初步了解透射电镜操作过程。

2.初步掌握样品的制样方法。  

3.学会分析典型组织图像。

二、透射电镜的结构与原理

 透射电镜以波长极短的电子束作为光源,电子束经由聚光镜系统的电磁透镜将其聚焦成一束近似平行的光线穿透样品,再经成像系统的电磁透镜成像和放大,然后电子束投射到主镜简最下方的荧光屏上而形成所观察的图像。在材料科学研究领域,透射电镜主要可用于材料微区的组织形貌观察、晶体缺陷分析和晶体结构测定。

透射电子显微镜按加速电压分类,通常可分为常规电镜(100kV)、高压电镜(300kV)和超高压电镜(500kV以上)。提高加速电压,可缩短入射电子的波长。一方面有利于提高电镜的分辨率;同时又可以提高对试样的穿透能力,这不仅可以放宽对试样减薄的要求,而且厚试样与近二维状态的薄试样相比,更接近三维的实际情况。就当前各研究领域使用的透射电镜来看,其主要三个性能指标大致如下:

加速电压:80~3000kV

分辨率:点分辨率为0.2~0.35nm、线分辨率为0.1~0.2nm

最高放大倍数:30~100万倍

尽管近年来商品电镜的型号繁多,高性能多用途的透射电镜不断出现,但总体说来,透射电镜一般由电子光学系统、真空系统、电源及控制系统三大部分组成。此外,还包括一些附加的仪器和部件、软件等。有关的透射电镜的工作原理可参照教材,并结合本实验室的透射电镜,根据具体情况进行介绍和讲解。以下仅对透射电镜的基本结构作简单介绍。

1.电子光学系统

电子光学系统通常又称为镜筒,是电镜的最基本组成部分,是用于提供照明、成像、显像和记录的装置。整个镜筒自上而下顺序排列着电子枪、双聚光镜、样品室、物镜、中间镜、投影镜、观察室、荧光屏及照相室等。通常又把电子光学系统分为照明、成像和观察记录部分。

2.真空系统

为保证电镜正常工作,要求电子光学系统应处于真空状态下。电镜的真空度一般应保持在10-5托,这需要机械泵和油扩散泵两级串联才能得到保证。目前的透射电镜增加一个离子泵以提高真空度,真空度可高达133.322×10-8Pa或更高。如果电镜的真空度达不到要求会出现以下问题:

(1) 电子与空气分子碰撞改变运动轨迹,影响成像质量。

 (2) 栅极与阳极间空气分子电离,导致极间放电。

 (3) 阴极炽热的灯丝迅速氧化烧损,缩短使用寿命甚至无法正常工作。

 (4) 试样易于氧化污染,产生假象。

3.供电控制系统

供电系统主要提供两部分电源,一是用于电子枪加速电子的小电流高压电源;二是用于各透镜激磁的大电流低压电源。目前先进的透射电镜多已采用自动控制系统,其中包括真空系统操作的自动控制,从低真空到高真空的自动转换、真空与高压启闭的连锁控制,以及用微机控制参数选择和镜筒合轴对中等。

三、实验步骤

1、样品的制备

   ①磨样:将铝合金样品用1000或2000型号的砂纸磨至100左右;

   ②冲孔:把样品用打孔钳打孔,打出2个直径为3mm的小圆片;

   ③细磨:将这些小圆片在5000型号的砂纸上磨至50µm左右,去毛刺;

   ④电解双喷减薄:将样品夹在双喷仪中进行双喷,当观察到观察孔有光时,关闭电源,拿出样品夹,立即在装有酒精的烧杯中进行3次清洗,取出样品后用滤纸包好。

对于TEM常用的50~200kV电子束,样品厚度控制在100~200nm,样品经铜网承载,装入样品台,放入样品室进行观察。

2、仪器调试:开启透射电镜,至真空抽好。调试仪器,经合轴,消象散以后,即可送样观察。

3、观察记录:将欲观察的铜网膜面朝上放入样品架中,送入镜筒观察。先在低倍下观察样品的整体情况,然后选择好的区域放大。变换放大倍数后,要重新聚焦。将有价值的信息以拍照的方式记录下来,并在记录本上记录观察要点和拍照结果。将样品更换杆送入镜筒,撤出样品,换另一样品的观察。

4、暗室处理:根据所用胶片的特性配制相应的暗室试剂,在暗室内红光条件下冲洗胶片。在红光条件下将负片印或放大成正片。

5、图片解析:根据制样条件,观察结果及样品的特性等综合分析,对图片进行合理的解析。

四、实验结果与分析

          暗场                         明场

图中观察到的明暗图像对比,是由于缺陷和应变场的存在,使晶体的局部产生畸变,从而使其布拉格条件改变而形成的衬度。

五、讨论

    透射电子显微镜的基本构造?

透射电子显微镜的主体是电子光学系统,亦称镜筒。镜筒从上到下依次是:照明系统、成像系统、观察记录系统。此外,还需包括真空系统和电气系统。

六、关于TEM文献阅读

透射电子显微镜对钢中细小夹杂物的三种分析方法, 即分散晶体法、萃取复型法和金属薄膜法。讨论了三种分析方法的特点和各自的适用范围。

分散晶体法: 试样由化学室相分析法萃取获得。将化学萃取。粉末溶于有机溶剂中, 经超声振荡后, 分散于导电支持膜上用于电镜观察。

                             分散晶体法观察到的夹杂物

萃取复型法:将抛光腐蚀后的金相试样表面用AC 纸复型,把金相表面的夹杂物或第二相萃取在AC 纸上, 高真空喷碳后将AC 纸溶解, 把带有夹杂物和组织特征的碳膜捞在支持铜网上, 用于电镜观察。

金属薄膜法: 用线切割机将要观察的试样切成0. 3 mm 厚,双面机械磨光, 用化学法将试样减薄至0. 05 mm 左

右, 用双喷电解仪或离子减薄仪将试样局部区域减

薄至100 ~ 300 nm , 在电镜下观察。
