Description
本發明涉及一種透射電鏡微柵，尤其涉及一種可用於加熱樣品之透射電鏡微柵。 The present invention relates to a TEM micro-gate, and more particularly to a TEM micro-gate that can be used to heat a sample.
隨著材料技術尤其係奈米材料技術之發展，常需要觀測材料樣品於不同溫度下之結構特徵。譬如，金屬材料於奈米級時，其熔點會隨著粒徑之變化而變化，即該金屬材料於奈米級時其於不同溫度下之結構特徵有所不同。再譬如，許多催化劑於不同溫度下之活性有所差別，即該催化劑於不同溫度下之結構有所不同。故，在對該材料樣品進行結構表徵時，不僅需要觀測該材料於室溫下之結構，還需要觀察該材料樣品於不同溫度下之結構。即於觀察過程中需要對該材料樣品進行加熱。 With the development of materials technology, especially nanomaterial technology, it is often necessary to observe the structural characteristics of material samples at different temperatures. For example, when the metal material is at the nanometer level, its melting point changes with the change of the particle size, that is, the metal material has different structural characteristics at different temperatures at the nanometer level. For example, many catalysts differ in their activity at different temperatures, ie, the structure of the catalyst varies at different temperatures. Therefore, when structurally characterizing the material sample, it is not only necessary to observe the structure of the material at room temperature, but also to observe the structure of the material sample at different temperatures. That is, the material sample needs to be heated during the observation process.
透射電子顯微鏡係表徵材料樣品結構之一種重要工具，通過透射電子顯微鏡能夠觀測到該材料樣品之高解析度之透射電鏡圖像。於該透射電子顯微鏡中，該材料樣品一般放置於一微柵表面。於給該材料樣品加熱時，將該微柵放置於一加熱爐中或於該微柵周圍設置一加熱棒，利用該加熱爐對該材料樣品進行加熱。可以理解，於給該材料樣品加熱之過程中，該微柵也同時被加熱。 Transmission electron microscopy is an important tool for characterizing the structure of a material sample. A high-resolution TEM image of the material sample can be observed by transmission electron microscopy. In the transmission electron microscope, the material sample is typically placed on a microgrid surface. When the material sample is heated, the micro grid is placed in a heating furnace or a heating rod is disposed around the micro grid, and the material sample is heated by the heating furnace. It will be appreciated that the microgrid is also heated during the heating of the material sample.
在先前技術中，應用於透射電子顯微鏡之微柵通常係於銅網或鎳網等金屬網格上覆蓋一層多孔有機膜，再在該有機膜上蒸鍍一層非晶碳膜製成的。然，先前之透射電子顯微鏡之熱穩定性不夠好，由於該金屬網格、有機膜 及碳膜之熱容與熱膨脹係數不一樣，該柵網於受熱時，該碳膜、有機膜與金屬網格之形變會不一致，從而造成放置於該微柵表面之材料樣品產生漂移。即該材料樣品於受熱過程中，會相對該透射電子顯微鏡產生移動。如鎳之膨脹係數遠大於非晶碳膜，其於受熱時之形變大於碳膜，從而導致放置其上之非晶碳膜移動，從而使吸附或放置於碳膜表面之材料樣品移動。然而，由於該透射電子顯微鏡對材料樣品之移動非常敏感，該材料樣品於受熱時產生之漂移，將使該透射電子顯微鏡難以得到高清晰之透射電鏡圖像。 In the prior art, a microgrid applied to a transmission electron microscope is usually formed by coating a porous organic film on a metal mesh such as a copper mesh or a nickel mesh, and then depositing an amorphous carbon film on the organic film. However, the thermal stability of previous transmission electron microscopes is not good enough due to the metal grid, organic film The heat capacity of the carbon film and the coefficient of thermal expansion are different. When the grid is heated, the deformation of the carbon film, the organic film and the metal mesh may be inconsistent, thereby causing drift of the material sample placed on the surface of the micro-gate. That is, the material sample moves relative to the transmission electron microscope during heating. If the expansion coefficient of nickel is much larger than that of the amorphous carbon film, it deforms when heated to be larger than that of the carbon film, thereby causing the amorphous carbon film placed thereon to move, thereby moving the material sample adsorbed or placed on the surface of the carbon film. However, since the transmission electron microscope is very sensitive to the movement of the material sample, the drift of the material sample upon heating causes the transmission electron microscope to have a high-definition TEM image.
有鑒於此，提供一種具有較好之熱穩定性之透射電鏡微柵實為必要。 In view of this, it is necessary to provide a TEM microgrid with better thermal stability.
一種透射電鏡微柵，其包括一網格、一奈米碳管膜狀結構及至少兩個電極。該奈米碳管膜狀結構設置於該網格表面。該至少兩個電極間隔設置且分別與該奈米碳管膜狀結構電連接。該奈米碳管膜狀結構包括複數均勻分佈之奈米碳管，該複數奈米碳管形成複數微孔。 A transmission electron microstrip microgrid comprising a grid, a carbon nanotube film structure and at least two electrodes. The carbon nanotube film structure is disposed on the surface of the mesh. The at least two electrodes are spaced apart and electrically connected to the carbon nanotube film structure, respectively. The carbon nanotube film structure comprises a plurality of uniformly distributed carbon nanotubes, and the plurality of carbon nanotubes form a plurality of micropores.

The carbon nanotube film structure comprises a plurality of carbon nanotubes arranged substantially vertically, and the plurality of carbon nanotubes form a plurality of micropores.
相較於先前技術，該透射電鏡微柵利用一奈米碳管膜狀結構承載及加熱放置於其表面之待觀察之材料樣品。該 奈米碳管膜狀結構具有較高之電熱轉換率且直接加熱該材料樣品無需加熱整個透射電鏡微柵，即無需加熱網格，故於加熱過程中產生之熱量較少；同時該奈米碳管膜狀結構具有較小之熱膨脹係數。故，在加熱材料樣品時，由於該奈米碳管膜狀結構產生之熱量較少且具有較小之熱膨脹係數，其因受熱而產生之形變較小，故，能夠避免放置於該奈米碳管膜狀結構表面之材料樣品產生漂移。 Compared to the prior art, the TEM microgrid utilizes a carbon nanotube film structure to carry and heat a sample of the material to be observed placed on its surface. The The carbon nanotube film structure has a high electrothermal conversion rate and directly heats the material sample without heating the entire TEM microgrid, that is, there is no need to heat the grid, so less heat is generated during the heating process; The tubular membrane structure has a small coefficient of thermal expansion. Therefore, when the material sample is heated, since the carbon nanotube film-like structure generates less heat and has a small coefficient of thermal expansion, the deformation due to heat is small, so that the nano carbon can be prevented from being placed on the nano carbon. The material sample on the surface of the tubular membrane structure drifts.
以下將結合附圖對本發明作進一步之詳細說明。 The invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Meanwhile, the mesh structure formed by the carbon nanotube film structure 130 has good mechanical stability, and the carbon nanotube film structure 130 has an extremely small absolute value of thermal expansion coefficient, specifically, the carbon nanotube film The absolute expansion coefficient of the thermal expansion coefficient of the structure 130 ranges from 0.01 to 0.5. Therefore, when the material sample is heated, the carbon nanotube film structure 130 is not easily deformed.
該透射電鏡微柵利用一奈米碳管膜狀結構承載及加熱放置於其表面之待觀察之材料樣品。該奈米碳管膜狀結構具有較高之電熱轉換率且直接加熱該材料樣品無需加熱 整個透射電鏡微柵，即不需要加熱網格，故於加熱過程中產生之熱量較少；同時該奈米碳管膜狀結構具有較小之熱膨脹係數。故，於加熱材料樣品時，由於該奈米碳管膜狀結構產生之熱量較少且具有較小之熱膨脹係數，其因受熱而產生之形變較小，故，能夠避免放置於該奈米碳管膜狀結構表面之材料樣品產生漂移。進一步地，由於該網格也選用膨脹係數較小之陶瓷製成，且於加熱材料樣品時，並不需要加熱該網格，該網格僅於靠近該奈米碳管膜狀結構之部分吸收熱量，即吸收之熱量非常少，從而使該網格其因受熱而形變也比較少。故，可減小該奈米碳管膜狀結構與網格之間因為形變而產生之相對移動，進一步避免放置於該奈米碳管膜狀結構表面之材料樣品產生漂移。 The TEM microgrid utilizes a carbon nanotube film structure to carry and heat a sample of the material to be observed placed on the surface thereof. The carbon nanotube film structure has a high electrothermal conversion rate and directly heats the material sample without heating The entire TEM microgrid, that is, does not need to heat the grid, so the heat generated during the heating process is less; and the carbon nanotube film structure has a smaller thermal expansion coefficient. Therefore, when the material sample is heated, since the carbon nanotube film-like structure generates less heat and has a small coefficient of thermal expansion, the deformation due to heat is small, so that the nano carbon can be prevented from being placed on the nano carbon. The material sample on the surface of the tubular membrane structure drifts. Further, since the grid is also made of ceramic having a small expansion coefficient, and when heating the material sample, it is not necessary to heat the grid, and the grid is only absorbed near the film structure of the carbon nanotube. The heat, that is, the amount of heat absorbed, is so small that the mesh is less deformed by heat. Therefore, the relative movement between the film structure of the carbon nanotube and the mesh due to the deformation can be reduced, and the material sample placed on the surface of the film structure of the carbon nanotube can be further prevented from drifting.
