Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of accessories of transmission electron microscopes, in particular to a transmission electron microscope sample rod system with ultrafast time resolution spectral capability and application thereof, and more particularly relates to a transmission electron microscope sample rod with ultrafast pulse optical focusing and ultrafast time resolution spectral capability and a corresponding transmission electron microscope system.
Background
Exploring the correspondence between the structural characteristics and physical properties of materials is one of the hot spots in condensed state physical research. In condensed state physical research, when the dimension of a solid approaches to the length of a quantum feature in one or more dimensions, due to the influence of quantum confinement effect and quantum fluctuation effect, electronic structural features which are quite different from those of the bulk material of the solid are shown, most typically, the electronic structure shows discrete energy levels of like atoms or molecules, so that a series of processes such as excitation, relaxation, transportation and the like correspondingly show brand-new features. The measurement and research of the micro mechanism of the excited state and the dynamic process of the nano system are of great significance for developing new research directions and application fields of condensed state physical research.
The recent decades of transmission electron microscopy have advanced the structure characterization capabilities to the atomic scale and can characterize electronic structures at the atomic scale. However, a commercial electron microscope only has structural characterization capability and single function, and cannot be directly related to physical properties of materials. Spectroscopic techniques can be used to study the spectral generation of materials and their interactions with substances, especially with the advent of femtosecond laser technology and the development of ultrafast spectroscopic techniques, the interaction of light with substances can be studied on the femtosecond or even attosecond scale, making it possible to probe ultrafast physical and chemical processes, especially dynamic transient and intermediate processes. Ultrafast processes with different time scales exist in natural science, such as the movement of atomic nuclei, the breakage and the formation of chemical bonds occur in the time range from femtosecond to picosecond, the fluorescence lifetime of a luminescent material is generally in the nanosecond level, the study on the microstructure and the material intrinsic characteristics of a micro substance is a direction which is always regarded in the natural science research, and the important application prospect is also developed.
In-situ electron microscope research is aimed at researching the properties of materials such as force, heat, electricity, light and the like in situ in a transmission electron microscope by introducing signal excitation such as mechanics, thermal, electricity or optics and the like into a transmission electron microscope cavity so as to directly relate the structure and physical properties of the materials. Optical technology is a very important effective means for studying physical properties of materials, for example, spectroscopy technology can study the interaction between light and materials through the spectral response of materials, and the development of ultrafast spectroscopy also improves the time detection resolution of spectroscopy technology to the order of femtoseconds, so that the ultrafast kinetic processes of material electrons or excitons and the like can be further studied. Therefore, it would be of great significance, both in basic scientific research and in applied technology, if an in-situ ultrafast spectral characterization system in a transmission electron mirror could be developed for studying the direct connection between the microstructure and properties of materials.
