Overview

Hummingbird Scientific’s in-situ Bulk Heating Holder 1500 series has been thermally optimized for low power input and minimal sample drift, enabling high temperature experimentation in both ETEM and standard TEM applications. It utilizes unique, high performance materials and innovative thermal management approaches to allow rapid acquisition of atomic resolution images at elevated temperatures. It is compatible with both traditional high vacuum TEM experimentation, as well as demanding ETEM experiments in oxidizing and reducing environments.

How It Works

Hummingbird Scientific in-situ heating holder utilizes optimized material and geometric choices for the best mechanical and thermal performance during operation of this resistive heating holder.

In-situ TEM Catalysis

Right: Study of microstructural changes as a function of the gas environment of an Fe catalyst as shown by sequential high-resolution transmission electron micrographs:

(A to C) Size evolution of Fe catalysts after 60 min under H2 (A), He (B), and Ar (C) at 500°C and 500 mtorr.

(D to F) Series of images from the same two Fe catalyst particles held at 500°C, as the gas overpressure is changed from (D) 500 mtorr He to (E) 500 mtorr Ar to (F) 500 mtorr He.

(G to I) Series of images from a larger Fe catalyst particle along a 110 zone axis:

(G) Image taken in 500 mtorr He at 500°C, showin very strong {111} facets. The inset diffractogram confirms the zone axis orientation.

(H) After the introduction of Ar, local degradation of the facets begins.

(I) With further time at 500°C in the Ar environment, the facet has been completely removed.

For all cases, the H2O with base pressure of 10-2 mtorr is present. Arrows in (H) and (I) indicate the gradual defaceting features over time.
