     材料的电子非弹性平均自由程( λ)是描述电子在材料中的输运性质的重要参数。然而通过实验技术直接获取材料的λ较为困难。本文介绍了一种基于EFTEM实验技术获取SrTiO3单晶λ 的方法:(1)采用聚焦离子束(FIB)技术制备了具有梯度厚度(100 ~ 800 nm)的SrTiO3截面样品I,并利用EFTEM得到SrTiO3薄片各个阶梯区域tλ 的比值a;(2)利用FIB将截面样品Ⅰ进行二次加工得到截面样品II,并利用透射电子显微技术(TEM)直接测量各个梯度区域的tλ  即为ta的比值。实验中测得单晶SrTiO3<001>和<110>方向的λ分别为124.7 nm和120.7 nm。研究结果对利用EFTEM技术测量λ 具有重要的指导意义。

Abstract    The electron inelastic mean free path (λ) of a material is an important parameter to describe the transport properties of electrons in the material, but it is difficult to obtain the λ value directly through experimental techniques. Here, a method for obtaining the λ value of single crystal SrTiO3 is presented based on energy filtered transmission electron microscopy (EFTEM): (1) SrTiO3 cross-section sample I with a gradient thickness of 100-800 nm was prepared by focused ion beam (FIB), and the ratio a of each step region t to λ of SrTiO3 sheet was examined by EFTEM. (2) The cross-section sample II with the thickness of sample I was prepared by FIB, and the t of each gradient region was measured directly TEM. The λ value of SrTiO3 along <001> and <110> is 124.7 nm and 120.7 nm, respectively. The results have an important guideline for the measurement of λ based on EFTEM technique.
