Step size - magnification calibration
|
||||
##### Scanning step correction
|
||||
Scanning step size is given by magnification and number of scanning points giving together field of view. In reality, original calibration may not be perfectly accurate and own re-calibration may be needed. Scanning step calibration is based on known inter-atomic distance. In our case \ce{SmB6} in [110] orientation where \ce{Sm} to \ce{Sm} distance is 2.92 or 4.13 \AA respectively. Line of 23 \ce{Sm} atoms was imaged in 499 pixels, 1 pixel is $22 \cdot 2.92 / 499 = 0.1287$ \AA. Microscope field of view at 30e6 magnification is 7.154 nm here divided into 512 pixels (pixel 0.1397 \AA). Correction factor between real and nominal pixel size is then $0.1287/0.1397 = 0.9212 = 92.12\% $

Pixel size calibration on \ce{SmB6} sample. Known \ce{Sm} to \ce{Sm} distance (2.92 \AA) is recalculated into real pixel size. Line profile is computed as sum of 7 rows to suppress image noise.
