Abstract

A system for performing nano beam diffraction (NBD) analysis, includes a focused ion beam (FIB) device for preparing a transmission electron microscopy (TEM) sample, a broad beam ion mill for milling the TEM sample to remove a surface portion of the TEM sample, and a strain analyzer for performing NBD analysis on the milled TEM sample to acquire diffraction data.
