Presenting the EDAX Short
Lecture Series
Monday May 23rd, 2016
Bevill Building Room 1000
The Central Analytical Facility at The University of Alabama is hosting a microstructural characterization workshop with EDAX.
EDAX is a leading provider of innovative materials characterization systems encompassing Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS),
Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD), Wavelength Dispersive Spectroscopy(WDS) and X-ray Flouresence (XRF). Both EDS and
EBSD detectors have been installed on the new TESCAN LYRA FIB-FESEM as well as an FEI Helios PFIB creating an instrument
capable of both nano-fabrication and characterization. Also some time working on the microscope and EBSD detector will be
available.
10:00 am - Session 1 – Optimizing EBSD Collection Parameters for Advanced Applications- EDAX
Including the new NPAR
Collecting data with EBSD can be a difficult task because of the many variables involved. In this lecture considerations for EBSD
data collection will be discussed including Pattern Optimization, Hough transform, Indexing Parameters, Sample/Detector Geometry,
and SEM Parameters. General setup of these parameters will be reviewed as adjustments needed for specialty applications.
Applications covered will be comprised of HREBSD data, Phase ID, Low kV (5-10 kV) Collection, and Transmission EBSD. NPAR
is a new approach to EBSD pattern indexing, this new approach allows faster collection at lower beam currents and acceleration
voltages. You get more out of the data you are already collecting with NPAR.
10:40 am – Session 2 – Everything 3D: We've just begun -
3D renderings of electron microscopy images and x-ray data are fairly commonplace today. But there are many more signals that can be collected from a FIB-SEM. This talk will present some new and novel 3D rendering of data that is new or uncommonly collected and/or rendered.
11:20 am - Session 3 – Integrated EBSD, TKD(T-EBSD) and APT Analysis
With the emergence of Transmission EBSD (tEBSD) in the SEM analysis of nano-features has been facilitated. Transmission EBSD
is a technique which utilizes an electron transparent sample and an EBSD detector to extract crystallographic information with very
high spatial resolution (~2 nm spacing). While traditional samples are typically flat the technique can also be applied to Atom Probe
Tomography (APT) samples which are conical. Additionally, EBSD has proven to be a useful tool in selecting areas of interest from
which to extract specimens for analysis with APT. In this lecture, EBSD will be explored as a tool to enhance APT studies including
applications with t-EBSD(TKD).
EDAX Presenter-Matt Nowell
Matt is the EBSD Product Manager at EDAX and has a passion for EBSD and microstructural characterization. Matt
joined TexSEM Labs (TSL) upon graduation from the University of Utah in 1995 with a degree in Materials Science
and Engineering. At TSL, he was part of the team that pioneered the development and commercialization of EBSD
and OIM. After EDAX acquired TSL in 1999, he joined the applications group to help continue to develop EBSD as a
technique, and integrate structural information with chemical information collected using EDS.
Within EDAX, Matt has been involved in a number of roles, including product management, business development,
customer and technical support, engineering, and applications support and development. Matt has published over
80 papers in a variety of application areas. He greatly enjoys the opportunity to interact with scientists, engineers,
and microscopists to help expand the role that EBSD plays in materials characterization. In his spare time Matt
enjoys playing golf and pondering if changing the texture of his clubs will affect his final score.Afternoon will be
available for hands on with the EDS/EBSD system on the FIB
