Abstract:Angular segmentation of detected signal in a SEM can be used to segment topographic and compositional contrast as has been shown with concentric ring solid state detection [1]. Subdividing the topographic contrast further can yield additional information on the direction of sample surfaces and allow clear interpretation of topography. Signal intensity is influenced by both sample topography and composition and the ability to separate one from the other may be useful in estimating scale of topography.Solid stat… Show more
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.
