Abstract

Nanotechnology places increasing demands on techniques for sample characterisation on the sub-100 rim length scale, and the low-loss electron (LLE) signal may provide one possible way of addressing this need Simulations of the LLE signal from a line-scan across a semiconductor superlattice structure have been performed using two different Monte Carlo models in order to assess their effectiveness in predicting spatial resolution for compositional imaging Additionally, experimental measurements of LLE data using a detector added to a scanning electron microscope were made to investigate compositional contrast
