ADVANTAGES:
The advantages of SEM and its uses are explained as follow:
1. Advantages
a. Electrons prove best to be used for the topographic information
b. Very clean process
c. Any kind of solid sample can be examine
d. Very high resolution
e. Very large magnification level
f.
2. Uses
a. To obtain the topographic images
b. To study sample surface in very high magnification
c. To obtain the constitutional data
d. To identify various phases in the sample
e. Identify crystallinity
OBSERVATIONS:
From the given micrographs analyse and state some observation that is
obtained.
Fig 1.
Magnification- 200x, Acc. Voltage.- 15kV,
1. From the circle 1 we can see the microspores are present on the
surface.
2. From circle 2 we can see twin boundaries present on the surface
3. From circle 3 small hole is visible
Fig 2.
Magnification- 100X, Acc. Voltage-15kV,
From the fig small surface defect can be seen. These may the small air
gap formed during moulding process call as blow off defects
Fig 3.
Magnification- 1000X, Acc. Voltage-15kV
1. Circles shown on the micrograph shows the microspores present on the
sample surface.
2. Arrow shown on the micrograph shows the twin boundaries that is
present on the sample surface.
Fig 4.
A scale bar is introduced on the micrograph such that the black scale mark is
approximately equal to 10nm
Fig 5.
Fig 6.
Above fig shows:
1. Small cubes of side ranging from approximately 2m to 6m
2. They are stacked one by one uniformly
3. There are few unoccupied space present
4. Particle faces are not exactly square in shape there are some are
rectangular.
Fig 7.
Fig shows
1. Atomic arrangement of carbon silicon and carbon atoms.
2. The atomic size of the silicon atom is far larger that of the carbon atom
3. All the atoms are following a particular stacking order
4. Both materials are crystalline as they are arranged in the periodic
manner
5. Arrows shows the atomic arrangement of silicon and diamond
Fig 8.
Above fig shows:
1. Periodic arrangement of the atoms
2. Micrograph shows epitaxy layers formed
3. Arrangement of atoms in various planes is shown.
CONCLUSION:
1. Scanning Electron Microscopy is Studied
2. Various micrograph were obtained from SEM
3. Different micrographs were observed and key points about the micrograpg
observation is discussed.
