摘  要 本文介绍了近年来发展的四维电子能量损失谱(4D-EELS) 方法的原理及在界面晶格动力学研究方面的应用。详细阐述了四维电子能量损失谱数据采集的需求、方案设计、技术特点等,并对比了该方法与其它散射谱学方法,尤其是振动谱学技术的主要优缺点。该方法的主要特点是在具有较高能量分辨率的同时,可以分别实现较高的空间、动量分辨能力,也可以通过调整实验参数灵活地在二者间取得平衡,从而将色散测量的空间分辨率提高至纳米量级。这一方法的发展使得声子色散的测量不再依赖于中子散射、同步辐射等大科学装置,也不再局限于大单晶样品的测量,能够实现对单个纳米结构甚至单原子尺寸的界面进行色散测量。

Abstract  Recently, a method named four-dimensional electron energy loss spectroscopy (4D-EELS) based on scanning transmission electron microscopy has been developed and employed to study the local lattice dynamics such as interfacial phonons. Here, its principle, experiment design and technical characteristics of data acquisition are described in detail, and further compared with other vibration scattering spectroscopy methods.The main features of this method include high energy resolution and the ability to achieve high spatial and momentum resolution separately. By flexibly adjusting experimental parameters, it is possible to strike a balance between the two and improve the spatial resolution of dispersion measurements to the nanometer level. This advancement obviates the reliance on large-scale scientific facilities such as neutron scattering and synchrotron radiation for phonon dispersion measurements. Moreover, it eliminates the constraints imposed by measurements solely on large single crystal samples, enabling dispersion measurements on individual nanostructures and even at the atomic scale for interfacial systems.
