Preparation of Oxide Nanofibers for Analysis by Transmission Electron Microscopy
Microscopy Research and Technique, EarlyView.Oxide nanofibers mounted on a MEMS chip for biasing. ABSTRACT The low electronic conductivity and rigid structure make sample preparation for in situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of oxide nanofibers challenging. This work evaluates three sample preparation approaches for mounting single oxide nanofibers on MEMS chips: (i) drop casting ...
