Abstract: A method and system are disclosed for improving characteristic peak signals in electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS) measurements of crystalline materials. A beam scanning protocol is applied which varies the inclination, azimuthal angle, or a combination thereof of the incident beam while spectroscopic data is acquired. The method and system may be applied to compositional mapping.

Abstract: A method and device for electron diffraction tomography of a crystal sample, which employs scanning of the electron beam over a plurality of discrete locations of the sample, in combination with a beam scanning protocol as the beam converges at every discrete location (42, 43) of the sample (38) to obtain a series of electron diffraction patterns, use of template matching to determine crystal orientations and thickness maps to obtain a common intensity scaling factor.
