Nanometrology is the science of measurement at the nanoscale level. Figure illustrates where nanoscale stands in relation to a meter and sub‐divisions of meter. 

Nanometrology addresses two main issues; the precise measurement of sizes in the nanometre range, and adapting existing or developing new methods to characterize properties as a function of size.

Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is a microscopy technique in which a beam of electrons is transmitted through an ultra‐thin specimen, interacting with the specimen as it passes through. 

An image is formed from the interaction of the electrons transmitted through the specimen; the image is magnified and focused onto an imaging device, such as a fluorescent screen, on a layer of photographic film, or to be detected by a sensor such as a CCD camera.

The scanning electron microscope is arguably the most versatile microscope with magnification ranging from 5X to as high as 106X. It provides excellent resolution, compliant to automation and user friendly. 

These features have made it the most widely used of all electron beam instruments. The sample preparation and examination is also relatively simple compared other techniques. 

A wide range of nanomaterials, starting from powders to films, pellets, wafers, carbon nanotubes, and even wet samples can be examined. It is also possible to correlate the observations made at nan scale to macro scale and draw reliable conclusions.

A scanning electron microscope (SEM) is a type of electron microscopethat produces images of a sample by scanning it with a focused beam of electrons.

The electrons interact with atoms in the sample, producing varioussignals that can be detected and that contain information about thesample's surface topography and composition.

SEM can achieve resolution better than 1 nanometer.

Specimens can be observed in high vacuum, in low vacuum, in wetconditions (in environmental SEM), and at a wide range ofcryogenic or elevated temperatures.

Sample preparation All samples must be of an appropriate size to fit in the specimen

chamber and are generally mounted rigidly on a specimen holder calleda specimen stub. Several models of SEM can examine any part of a 6‐inch (15 cm) semiconductor wafer, and some can tilt an object of thatsize to 45°.

For conventional imaging in the SEM, specimens must be electricallyconductive, at least at the surface, and electrically grounded to preventthe accumulation of electrostatic charge at the surface.

Metal objects require little special preparation for SEM except forcleaning and mounting on a specimen stub.

Nonconductive specimens: They are usually coated with an ultrathincoating of electrically conducting material, deposited on the sampleeither by low‐vacuum sputter coating or by high‐vacuum evaporation.Conductive materials in current use for specimen coating include gold,gold/palladium alloy, and graphite.

A scanning tunneling microscope (STM) is an instrument for imaging surfaces at the atomic level. Its development in 1981 earned its inventors, Gerd Binnig and Heinrich Rohrer (at IBM Zürich), the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1986.

The STM works on the principle of quantum tunneling. When an atomically sharpened tip under a small voltage is brought close to the surface of a sample, so that the separation is of the order of a nanometer, there is a small change in current in the circuit. This effect is called the quantum tunneling effect. 

The induced current is referred to as the tunneling current. The tunneling current increases as the gap between the tip and the sample decreases. 

The change in tunneling current can be calibrated with respect to the change in gap In other words if we scan the tip over the sample

An AFM is rather different from other microscopes, because it does not form an image by focusing light or electrons onto a surface, like an optical or electron microscope. 

An AFM physically ‘feels’ the sample’s surface with a sharp probe, building up a map of the height of the sample’s surface. 

By scanning a probe over the sample surface it builds up a map of the height or topography of the surface as it goes along.

X-ra Diffraction System (XRD)

X‐ray diffraction is an ideal method for examining samples of metals, polymers, ceramics, semiconductors, thin films and coatings. 

It can also be employed for forensic and archeological analysis. 

A two‐dimensional diffraction pattern provides abundant information about the atomic arrangement, microstructure, and defects of a solid or liquid material.

Bragg’s Law

Bragg law describes the relationship between the diffraction pattern and the material structure. If the incident X‐rays hit the crystal planes with an incident angle θ and reflection angle θ as shown in figure in the next slide, the diffraction peak is observed when the Bragg condition is satisfied

That is, nλ = 2d.sin θ

where λ is the wavelength, d is the distance between each adjacent crystal planes, θ is the Bragg angle at which one observes a diffraction peak, and n is an integer number, called the order of reflection.
