abstract = {The image intensity in high-angle annular dark field STEM
images shows a strong chemical sensitivity. As it is also
influenced by specimen thickness, crystal orientation as
well as characteristics of illumination and detector, a
standard-free quantification of composition requires a
comparison with accurate image simulation, for which we use
the frozen lattice approach of the STEMsim program taking
the non-uniform detector sensitivity into account. The
experimental STEM intensity is normalized with respect to
the incident electron beam. For the quantification of a STEM
image it is subdivided into Voronoi cells in which the
intensity is averaged. Analysis of the composition in a
ternary semiconductor layer such as InxGa1-xN requires
measuring the specimen thickness in regions with known
composition by comparison with the simulated STEM intensity.
Interpolation of the obtained thickness into the layer with
unknown composition yields a map of the specimen thickness.
Finally, specimen thickness and STEM intensity are compared
with simulations computed as a function of composition
resulting in a map of the In-concentration x. In alloys
containing atoms with different covalent radii (e.g. In and
Ga in InxGa1-xN) static atomic displacements occur, which
are computed with empirical potentials and included in the
simulation. As an application example Fig. 1a shows an array
of core-shell nanowires. One single nanowire is depicted in
Fig. 1b. The core-shell area marked by a yellow frame is
shown in Fig. 1c. Figs. 1d and 1f show high-resolution STEM
images of the core-shell regions corresponding to the top
and the bottom of a nanowire, respectively. The maps of the
measured In-concentration given in Figs. 1e and 1g reveal an
increasing thickness of the layer along the growth
direction. In the upper part, the layer shows variations of
the In-concentration clearly beyond the random-array
fluctuations as was shown by a comparison with image
simulation.In the second part of the talk we present results
on measurements of atomic electric fields. Differential
phase contrast STEM detects the field-induced angular
deflection of the electron beam with a segmented ring
detector (J. Chapman et al., Ultramicroscopy 3 (1978), 203)
assuming that the Ronchigram is homogeneously filled and
shifted as a whole in the presence of electromagnetic fields
(N. Shibata et al., Nat. Phys. 8 (2012), 611). These
assumptions were tested by simulation for 1.3 nm thick GaN.
Fig. 2b shows Ronchigrams simulated for 6x6 scan positions
within the region marked in Fig. 2a. The dominant effect of
the atomic electric field is a complex redistribution of
intensity within a Ronchigram. By fundamental quantum
mechanical arguments, we take the complex intensity
distribution in the Ronchigram into account (K. Müller et
al., Nat. Commun. 5 (2014), 5653). The intensity in a
certain pixel of the recorded Ronchigram is proportional to
the probability that the corresponding momentum is observed.
Thus, a center-of-gravity type summation yields the
expectation value for the momentum. To relate the electric
field in the specimen to the observed momentum transfer,
Ehrenfest's theorem is applied. For thin specimens, the
expectation value of the momentum is found to be
proportional to the projection of the electric field along
the optical axis, convolved with the intensity distribution
of the incident STEM probe. We demonstrate the potential of
this approach in both simulation and experiment. For the GaN
simulation in Fig. 2c we find the electric field depicted in
Fig. 2d. Atomic sites appear as sources of the field which
has a magnitude of up to 1.5 V/pm. As only the convolution
of the true field with the probe intensity can be measured,
the field strength decreases in the direct vicinity of
atomic sites. In a first experiment, 20x20 Ronchigrams of
SrTiO3 with a thickness of 2.5 nm have been recorded on a
conventional charge-coupled device (CCD), yielding the
electric field in Fig. 2e. We also report on pilot
experiments with the ultrafast pnCCD camera (K. Müller et
al., Appl. Phys. Lett. 101 (2012), 212110) which was
operated at read-out rates of up to 4 kHz. For example, Fig.
2f shows the momentum transfers recorded at a MoS2
mono/bilayer interface, demonstrating that fast detectors
are the key for atomic-scale materials analyses at a
reasonable field of view.},
