Electron beam induced soft-X-ray emission spectroscopy (SXES) that uses a grating spectrometer has been introduced to a conventional scanning electron microscope (SEM) for characterizing desired specimen areas of bulk materials. The spectrometer has a grazing-incidence flat-field optics by using aberration corrected (varied-line-spacing) gratings, which has already been applied to transmission electron microscopes. The best resolution was confirmed as 0.13 eV at Mg L-emission (50 eV), which is comparable with that of recent dedicated electron energy-loss spectroscopy instruments. Apparent band structure effects have been observed in Mg-L, Si-L, B-K, and Ti-L emission spectra obtained from bulk materials using SEM-SXES instrument.

Soft X-ray emission and absorption spectra in the CK region of typical solid carbon compounds (HOPG, carbon nanotube, diamond, fullerene, polyethylene, -terphenyl, anthracene) are demonstrated. Take-off/incident-angle dependent X-ray spectra of HOPG are also shown to utilize for the structural analysis of anistropic crystals. Spectral analysis of these compounds using discrete variational (DV)-X molecular orbital calclations is also demonstrated.

Angle-resolved soft X-ray emission and absorption spectra in the BK and NK regions of hexagonal BN were measured using polarized synchrotron radiation. The take-off/incident-angle-dependence on the spectral features in both X-ray emission and absorption is clearly observed. The configuration of the s and p orbitals, which were calculated using discrete variaional (DV) -Xa molecular orbital calculations, explains the angle-resolved soft X-ray emission and absorption spectra. The relative peak intensity of the 394-eV peak in the NK X-ray emission provides useful information about the BN layer ordering.

The chemical bonding state of titanium dioxide is clearly revealed by using in combination with soft X-ray grating spectrometer and SEM. In a simple ionic model considered as TiO in TiO, Ti ion has no 3 electron, but Ti emission spectra resulting from the electron transition from 3 valance band to the core holes can be observed. Thus, it indicates that the emissions of Ti originates from the covalent bonding between Ti and O atoms. The peak position of the band of TiO, brookite, is found to be placed on the lower energy side than that of metal-Ti, but it is opposite to the theoretical prediction. This means that the intensity profile is not suitable for probing chemical shift due to the influence from the density of states of the valence band. On the other hand, the peak shift of the band caused by transitions between inner-shell levels is on the higher energy side than that of metal-Ti. It is found to be reasonable for the cation chemical shift.

Electron microscope and has a nearly 90-year history, has a lot of contributions to the observation and analysis of the micro-region. Therefore elemental analysis, structural analysis, energy dispersive spectrometer for the purpose of state analysis (EDS), wavelength dispersive spectrometer (WDS) and many of the spectrometer have been developed. However, a practical electron microscope spectrometer in the soft X-ray region required for the analysis of light elements such as lithium was present. To overcome this problem, the group of Tohoku University, JEOL Ltd., Shimadzu Corporation, and Japan Atomic Energy Agency have developed a soft X-ray spectrometer for electron microscopy to achieve high energy resolution by combining varied-line-spacing aberration-corrected diffraction gratings and a high sensitivity X-ray CCD camera. This instrument allows us parallel detection like EDS, and it is possible to perform high energy resolution analysis, e.g., 0.3 eV (Fermi edge Al-L), in a wide energy region of 50 eV 4 keV. By spectroscopic system design of the new development, spectra including various energies can be measured simultaneously without moving diffraction grating and detector. Moreover, taking advantage of a high energy resolution, it is possible to collect the state analysis map. We describe the development of flat-field varied-line-spacing holographic laminar type diffraction grating, which is the heart of this device, and give an overview of the spectrometer system as well as an summary of measured data including mapping.
