Scanning electron microscope (SEM) ability to control focused electron beam allows studying materials, which are highly responsive to external exposure. Active modes of SEM investigation based on specific responses are suggested. A modification of electron beam induced current mode for domain imaging in TGS-crystals is suggested. A focused electron beam can be used as a local heat source for SEM images due to pyroelectric effect. The peculiarities of a SEM domain structure image caused by electrical and thermal factors are considered.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
