2 I was attending in training program on EDX measurements technique and Profilometry analysis of the experimental results in the Metallurgic Physics Laboratory, in Poitiers University, France. 2005.10.02 - 2005.10.31

3 Outline of the presentation: How EDX Works Profilometer effect Glancing angle XRD measurements Discussions

4 How EDX Works (1) When an incident electron beam hits atoms of the sample, secondary and backscattered electrons can be emitted from the sample surface. These are not the only signals emitted from the sample.

5 How EDX Works (2) For instance, if the inner shell (the K shell) electron of an iron atom is replaced by an L shell electron, a 6400 eV K alpha X-ray is emitted from the sample

6 How EDX Works (3) Or, if the innermost shell (the K shell) electron of an iron atom is replaced by an M shell electron, a 7057 eV K beta X-ray is emitted from the sample.

7 Or, if the L shell electron of an iron atom is replaced by an M shell electron, a 704 eV L alpha X-ray is emitted from the sample. How EDX Works (4)

8 An EDX Spectrum of Iron would have three peaks; An L alpha at 704 eV, a K alpha at 6400 eV, and a K Beta at 7057 eV. How EDX Works (5)

9 The X-rays are emitted from a depth equivalent to how deep the secondary electrons are formed. Depending on the sample density and accelerating voltage of the incident beam, this is usually from 1/2 to 2 microns in depth. How EDX Works (6)

10 The spectrum is of a high temperature nickel based alloy composed of nickel, chromium, iron, manganese, titanium, molybdenum, silicon, and aluminium. How EDX Works (7)

11 A profile is, mathematically, the line of intersection of a surface with a sectioning plane which is (ordinarily) perpendicular to the surface. It is a two-dimensional slice of the three-dimensional surface. Almost always profiles are measured across the surface in a direction perpendicular to the lay of the surface. PROFILOMETRY (1)

12 The average roughness, Ra, is an integral of the absolute value of the roughness profile. It Is The average roughness, Ra, is an integral of the absolute value of the roughness profile. It Is the shaded area divided by the evaluation length, L. Ra is the most commonly used roughness Ra is the most commonly used roughnessparameter. PROFILOMETRY (2)

13 The more complicated the shape of the surface we want and the more critical the function of the surface, the more sophisticated we need to be in measuring parameters beyond Ra. PROFILOMETRY (3)

19 Comparison of high and low roughness samples Sample preparation conditions

20 High roughness sample 2. Roughness of deposit in the centre of the sample is equal 0,5469 μm 1. Roughness of deposit in the corner of the sample scanning interval 100 - 1600 mikrometro is equal 0,4634 μm 3. R oughness of deposit in the corner of the sample scanning interval 0 - 650 μm is equal 0,1644 μm

21 Low roughness sample 1. Roughness of deposit in the corner of the sample scanning interval 0 - 1000 μm is equal 0,0063 μm 2. Roughness deposit in the centre of the sample scanning interval 1000-2000 μm is equal 0,0027 μm 3. Roughness deposit in the corner of the sample scanning interval 500 - 2000 μm is equal 0,0031 μm

22 Discussion Steps of the scanning sample: 0 – 400 deposit; accumulation of deposit; step (1500); substrate (1600-2000) In optical microscope we can see that there is rise and there is no perpendicular corner. The thickness of the deposit in this area is about 1 μm ? We can see two steps it seems that everything concentrates in the corner of the deposit? And how it can be that our deposit (0-1600) is lower than our substrate (1600-2000)?

23 Discussion Its seen three shells : From 0-730 μm there is deposit ; step in the interval 730-1062 μm Before the second step in the interval 1198 - 1362 there is rise witch height is 0.6 μm ; Before the third step, starts from 1474 μm there is rise witch height is 0.5 μm. ? Is it possible that it happens because - when our sample is on holder in the corners the particles hit the holder losing their energy and then concentrate between the sample and the holder? It seems that our holder is like a barrier for particle motion and because of this we see the rises.

24 In this case we can see that our deposit is lower then the substrate and it seems that it goes into substrate Discussion
