Spherical aberration correction marks a great milestone in the recent advancement of transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The availability of direct electron detector and monochromator unlocked a door for a new era of discovery by electron microscopy. Today, the advanced TEM enables the determination of 3D structure, composition, chemical bonding, and local electronic properties of materials with atomic resolution. It has been recently shown that local electric field mapping can be measured using scanning diffraction in scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM). In this talk, I will present our recent development of a 4D STEM technique to map the local electric field and charge density with the sub-Å spatial resolution. Using this technique, we are able to directly image the interfacial charge distribution and gain deep insight into the origin of ferroelectric polarization and the electronic charge transfer at oxide interfaces. Furthermore, using our new Nion’s UltraSTEM 200, we achieved a record high energy resolution (~4.2 meV at 30 kV) for electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS), which enables us to see single atoms, measure molecular vibration, and probe phonon modes with a nanometer resolution. With SiC as a model system, we demonstrate that the EELS measurement of phonon energy as function of temperature offers a new avenue to measure local temperature in nanostructures and nanodevices.
