Secondary electron hyper spectral imaging in helios nanolab - mapping materials properties or artefacts?
Rodenburg, C. ; Masters, R. ; Abrams, K. ; Dapor, M. ; Krátký, Stanislav ; Mika, Filip
A link between peaks in secondary electron (SE) spectra and Electron Energy Loss Spectra\n(EELS) was shown decades ago. Also, materials properties (bulk modulus, band gap)\ncorrelate with the bulk plasmon position in EELS, and local modulus maps in carbon fibres\nhave been presented. If any features as result of plasmon decay into SE can be identified,\nSE spectroscopy combined with hyperspectral imaging could transform the SEM into a tool\nfor mapping materials properties with ground-breaking potential for nanotechnology. To\nbecome a reality, we first need to establish SE collection conditions spectra that represent a\nmaterial reliably. Second, we need to gain a better understanding of the processes involved in the SE emission processes.

Creation of electron vortex beams using the holographic reconstruction method in a scanning electron microscope
Řiháček, Tomáš ; Horák, M. ; Schachinger, T. ; Matějka, Milan ; Mika, Filip ; Müllerová, Ilona
Electron vortex beams (EVB) were theoretically predicted in 2007 and first experimentally\ncreated in 2010. Although they attracted attention of many researchers, their\ninvestigation takes place almost solely in connection with transmission electron microscopes (TEM). On the other hand, although scanning electron microscopes (SEM) may provide some advantages for EVB applications, only little attention has been dedicated to them. Therefore, the aim of this work is to create electron vortices in SEM at energies of several keV.
