Abstract

We present a series of procedures that prepared and analyzed chromium borides (Cr-B) microcrystals using a combination of micro-focused ion and quantum beam techniques. The chemical state analyses were carried out using micro-photoemission spectroscopy and structural analyses were performed using micro-reflection high-energy electron diffraction and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. This approach successfully identified the existence of CrB

and Cr

phases in a Cr-B microcrystal and also provided detailed chemical state evaluation of Cr

phase. Our integration of these techniques enabled to distinguish and evaluate micro-scale phases within complex materials, identifying different phases or unexpected secondary products of microcrystal.

用微聚焦离子和量子光束评价硼化铬单晶的化学态

我们提出了一系列的程序，制备和分析硼化铬（Cr-B）微晶体使用微聚焦离子和量子束技术的组合。化学状态分析采用微光发射光谱，结构分析采用微反射高能电子衍射和单晶x射线衍射。该方法成功地鉴定了Cr-B微晶中CrB2和Cr2B3相的存在，并提供了Cr2B3相的详细化学状态评价。我们将这些技术整合在一起，能够区分和评估复杂材料中的微尺度相，识别不同的相或意想不到的微晶体二次产物。
