Description:

(abstract)

We developed a double-tilt liquid cell holder to image single crystal samples in a liquid on the zone-axis incident condition. FIB-prepared SrTiO3 <100> samples were picked-up and put onto a liquid cell chip window at the desired positions using a glass probe and an optical microscope. Atomic-resolution ADF-STEM images, acquired after aligning the sample orientation along the <100> zone axis, showed Sr and Ti-O atomic columns with high contrast. Thus, it was demonstrated that electron channeling along several tens nm atomic columns resulted in high-contrast atomic images overcoming background from thick windows and media.
