The rocking-angle ion-milling technique has been employed to produce optimum Pt/Ti/SiO,/Si, WITiN/Si021Si, and (Pb,La)TiO,/Pt/MgO samples for cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Because of the different ion-milling rates between film layers and substrate materials, no satisfactor

β¦ Synopsis
A novel cross-sectional sample preparation technique for quantum wire (QWR) structures is described. By coating a thin layer of Au with a designed pattern on the sample as a marker to indicate the position of the wire pattern, the location of the thinned area can be controlled precisely. An example of applying this technique to an InGaAs/GaAs QWR structure is demonstrated. This technique can also be applied to any other small dimensional structures or devices with specific regions of interest. o 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

## Abstract A method is described for the preparation of crossβsectional samples of thin films for transmission electron microscopy. The technique produces larger amounts of thin region as compared with ion milling and eliminates the problems associated with ion beam damage. The requirement is that

## INTRODUCTION. The high temperature oxidation of alumina-and chromia-forming metals and alloys has been studied for many years. Although it is fairly easy to produce TEM cross-sections of the adherent scales formed on alloys containing reactive elements it has proved more difficult to cross-sect
## Abstract The surface properties of materials are believed to control most of the biological reactions toward implanted materials. To study the surface structure, elemental distribution, and morphology, using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques, thin foils of the surface (in crossβs
