Carbon nanotube electrostatic biprism: principle of operation and proof of concept.
During in situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) field emission experiments, carbon nanotubes are observed to strongly diffract the imaging TEM electron beam. We demonstrate that this effect is identical to that of a standard electrostatic biprism. We also demonstrate that the nanotube biprism can be used to capture electron-holographic information.
