Abstract
Legura \( Ge_{1-x}Sn_{x}\) s x> 0,01 termodinamički je metastabilna i Sn na temperaturama iznad ≈230°C teži odvajanju, difundiranju i taloženju kao β-Sn u strukturama nalik kapljicama. In situ eksperimenti žarenja u transmisijskom elektronskom mikroskopu omogućuju promatranje i proučavanje termičkog raspada epitaksijalnih slojeva \( Ge_{1-x}Sn_{x}\). Jedan od glavnih zahtjeva za ispitivanja putem TEM-a je uzorak proziran za elektrone. Prema tome priprema uzorka je ključni korak prema TEM pokusima. Postupak pripreme uzorka razvijen je kombinacijom različitih tehnika pripreme. Prvo, MBE sintetizirani \( Ge_{1-x}Sn_{x}\) i referentni materijal Si (s Ge kvantnim točkama) pripremljeni su tehnikom klinastog poliranja. Nadalje, fokusirani ionski snop (FIB) korištena je za pripremu grijaćeg čipa za in situ eksperiment žarenja. Različite metode mikroskopije korištene su za optimizaciju i validaciju razvijenog postupka pripreme uzorka za in situ TEM eksperiment žarenja
Abstract (english)
The \( Ge_{1-x}Sn_{x}\) alloy with x>0.01 is thermodynamically metastable and Sn tends to diffuse, segregate or precipitate as β-Sn in a droplet-like structure at temperature above ≈230°C. In situ heating experiments via transmission electron microscopy (TEM) allows us to observe and study the decomposition process of \( Ge_{1-x}Sn_{x}\). The main requirement for TEM investigation is an electron transparent specimen. Hence, specimen preparation is a key step towards TEM experiments. The sample preparation procedure has been developed using a combination of preparation techniques. The MBE synthesized \( Ge_{1-x}Sn_{x}\) and reference material Si (with Ge quantum dots) have been prepared with wedge polishing technique. Further, focused ion beam (FIB) has been used to prepare a heating chip for the in situ TEM heating experiment. Various microscopy methods have been used to optimize and validate the developed sample preparation procedure.
