Some HVEM Applications at the NCEM, University of California, Berkeley

摘要

While HVEM is in a healthy state there are still some factors that are of concern, such as: The high cost of maintenance and staffing HVEM facilities; continuation of appropriate funding level and upgrading of facilities; the need for better quality stages; the need for more attention to be paid to specimen preparation and quality; better utilization of existing specialized facilities, and increasing international cooperation; the need for more highly trained personnel; the need for analytical capabilities to be installed on existing HVEMs; and improvements in design to facilitate CBED analysis at HVEM. Probably the questions of specimen preparation, cleanliness and beam sensitivity are some of the most important. The problem of preparing foils less than 10A thick seems insurmountable.
