They reported that they could obtain such double crystals routinely by ion bombardment. However, their specimen preparation method did not allow the the gap between the crystals to be controlled and the maximum gap that they achieved was on the order of 1-2 μm. A subsequent realization of a double crystal interferometer (DCI) was achieved using voids in spinel [2], again with a crystal spacing of below 1 μm. In 1995, Zhou and co-workers [3] presented new results by combining a Si double-crystal interferometer with convergent beam electron diffraction (CBED), taking advantage of a special structure formed at the broken edge of a Si [111] crystal. The gap was still on the order of 1 μm or below.Here, we use focused ion beam (FIB) milling to build DCIs that have gaps of up to 8 μm and to provide better control over results that were previously obtained by chance. Figure 1 shows a top view scanning electron micrograph of such an interferometer. The gap separation is 800 nm. Both single crystal and double crystal areas have been patterned. Superimposed on the image is a sketch of the ray path of a convergent beam that illuminates the upper crystal, generating a transmitted beam and a diffracted beam. These beams, in turn, impinge on the second crystal, generating further transmitted and diffracted beams that overlap in the diffraction plane, resulting in the formation of interference fringes.Figure 2 shows a comparison of diffraction patterns recorded from a single crystal (left) and two overlapped crystals (right). The spacing of the interference fringes depends on the electron wavelength, the excited Bragg reflection and the camera length. More impressive results are obtained when the orientation of the crystal is close to a zone axis. Figure 3 shows a comparison of a standard CBED pattern (left) with a complicated system of interference fringes arising from overlap of many diffracted beams (right). The interference phenomena in these patterns encode information about the crystal structure. The fringe spacing is inversely propotional to the gap width. Therefore, for an 8 μm gap, ten times more fringes are present in the overlapped discs and the interferogram can be considered as a hologram, as showsn in Fig. 4.As suggested by the first experimenters [1], accurate lattice parameter measurements can be made using a DCI when one crystal is the specimen of interest. If, instead, a specimen in inserted between the crystals or deposited onto the lower crystal, then it will be possible to obtain an off-axis Fresnel hologram with a reduced exposure time that is not affected by Fresnel diffraction from the edges of a biprism wire, as is the case when an electron biprism is used as an interferometric device. Moreover, the reduced exposure time due to amplitude division beam splitting could open the way to dynamic recording and processing of holograms. 000827185 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-143$$a143 - Controlling Configuration-Based Phenomena (POF3-143)$$cPOF3-143$$fPOF III$$x0 000827185 588__ $$aDataset connected to CrossRef Book 000827185 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)145413$$aDuchamp, Martial$$b1$$eCorresponding author 000827185 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)144121$$aDunin-Borkowski, Rafal$$b2 000827185 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aPozzi, Giulio$$b3 000827185 773__ $$a10.1002/9783527808465.EMC2016.5140 000827185 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/827185/files/emc20165140.pdf$$yRestricted 000827185 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/827185/files/emc20165140.gif?subformat=icon$$xicon$$yRestricted 000827185 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/827185/files/emc20165140.jpg?subformat=icon-1440$$xicon-1440$$yRestricted 000827185 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/827185/files/emc20165140.jpg?subformat=icon-180$$xicon-180$$yRestricted 000827185 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/827185/files/emc20165140.jpg?subformat=icon-640$$xicon-640$$yRestricted 000827185 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/827185/files/emc20165140.pdf?subformat=pdfa$$xpdfa$$yRestricted 000827185 909CO $$ooai:juser.fz-juelich.de:827185$$pVDB 000827185 9141_ $$y2016 000827185 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)157886$$aForschungszentrum Jülich$$b0$$kFZJ 000827185 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)144121$$aForschungszentrum Jülich$$b2$$kFZJ 000827185 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-143$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF3-140$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF3-100$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF3$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$aDE-HGF$$bEnergie$$lFuture Information Technology - Fundamentals, Novel Concepts and Energy Efficiency (FIT)$$vControlling Configuration-Based Phenomena$$x0 000827185 920__ $$lyes 000827185 9201_ $$0I:(DE-Juel1)PGI-5-20110106$$kPGI-5$$lMikrostrukturforschung$$x0 000827185 9201_ $$0I:(DE-Juel1)ER-C-1-20170209$$kER-C-1$$lPhysik Nanoskaliger Systeme$$x1 000827185 980__ $$acontrib 000827185 980__ $$aVDB 000827185 980__ $$acontb 000827185 980__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)PGI-5-20110106 000827185 980__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)ER-C-1-20170209 000827185 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED 000827185 981__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)ER-C-1-20170209
