Practical Electron Microscopy and Database

Local heating induced by energetic ion and electron beams [1,2] leads to various effects such as bending of nanopillars [3], diffusion of substrate atoms into the nanostructures [4], enhancement of the adhesion between thin films [5–7] and focused ion beam lithography for MOSFET devices [8].
