摘要: We demonstrate the multiazimuth observation (360 degrees in principle) of InGaAs/GaAs quantum dots (QDs) by means a 300 kV scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM), where both cross-sectional and plan-view observations are performed on single STEM specimen for first time. A cylindrical with diameter 200-300 nm including QD layer inside along rotation axis was fabricated focused ion beam (FIB) technique, application newly developed mesa-cutting method to adjust position angle precisely. The 360 is realized mounting holder equipped specimen-rotation mechanism. High potential 3D-STEM briefly presented showing high contrast images QDs, dark field images, moire fringes various incident angles.
