In situ break-junction sample holder for transmission electron microscopy

Abstract

In this article, we report on the design and construction of an in situ break-junction sample holder for transmission electron microscopy. The holder is based on the differential-screw mechanism. The technical details and a comprehensive consideration to all relevant critical issues surrounding the instru-mentation procedure are presented. An application of the newly developed instrument is demonstrated using the example of a micro-scale gold wire. We also provide a detailed discussion on the challenges involved and the pitfalls to avoid in developing similar in situ holders.
