Determination ofE2for Nitride Ceramics Using FE-SEM and the Duane–Hunt Limit Procedure
Source abstract
Abstract
This work demonstrates the possibility of using the Duane–Hunt limit of the bremsstrahlung to determineE2values of Si3N4and AlN ceramics. TheEDHLversusE0graph demonstrates that for conductive materials, the experimental curve is parallel to the theoretical (EDHL=E0), but both curves cross in the case of insulators. The intersection points (E2value), are 3.01 keV for Si3N4and 2.67 keV for AlN. Imaging of ceramic grain structure at high magnification was performed to demonstrate the validity of the calculatedE2values.
