Pictures Intended for the "Lost Book"

Most of the pictures for the "lost book" had been selected and made ready for publications. Of course, quite a few were identical or similar to the pictures in the previous publications but there were also some new ones.
I give you what I still have. I do not have the pictures that my coauthor, friend and best man at our wedding, T.S. Kuan would have contributed. Some explanations are given in the Fig. captions.
Note: A lot of the pictures and graphics ended up in my Hyperscript "Defects". That is especially true for the stuff at then end of the book article..
     
 
Si - silicide interface TEM
Si - silicide interface TEM
Fig. 1 and 2 in the "lost book"
The figures illustrate two points:
1. The intricacies of specimen preparation, especially for cross-secions and
2. The quaint old way to male a drawing. First some pencil sketches, than the hunt for somebody
who could – and was willing – to turn that into a nice drawing (by hand) on a drawing board.
   
 
Si - silicide interface TEM
Fig. 3 in the "lost book"
For every good specimen, you got a few like this one. Everything has been milled off by the ion beam – except the interface.
Probably the epoxy became charged, deflecting the ion beam somewhat and thus lowering the milling rate right at the interface.
A useless specimen after rather long and dedicated work.
   
Figs. 4 - 8 are trivial or reserved. I continue with Fig. 9
   
 
Si - silicide interface TEM
Fig. 9 in the "lost book"
This picture illustrates why the Si lattice can look quite different in HRTEM images but that you can still
interpret it directly – up to a point - without lengthy calculations. That was contrary to what the (few)
theoreticians claimed in the good old days of HRTEM
   
 
Si - silicide interface TEM
Fig. 14 in the "lost book" and similar to Fig. 2 in Publication 3.
   
Figs.10 - 14 concern Iridium silicide work of T.S. Kuan. I do not have these pictures.
   
 
Si - silicide interface TEM
Fig. 15 in the "lost book"
Identical top Fig Fig. 3 In Publication 3 (Transmission electron microscopy investigation of silicide formation on slightly oxidized silicon substrates)
   
 
Si - silicide interface TEM
Fig. 16 in the "lost book"
Identical top Fig Fig. 7 In Publication 3 (Transmission electron microscopy investigation of silicide formation on slightly oxidized silicon substrates).
   
 
Si - silicide interface TEM
Fig. 17 in the "lost book"
Identical top Fig Fig. 1 In Publication 3 (Transmission electron microscopy investigation of silicide formation on slightly oxidized silicon substrates).
   
 
Si - silicide interface TEM
Fig. 18 in the "lost book"
Identical top Fig Fig. 8 In Publication 3 (Transmission electron microscopy investigation of silicide formation on slightly oxidized silicon substrates).
   
 
Si - silicide interface TEM
Fig. 21 in the "lost book"
It shows that for all three Ni silicide you can find an orientation that produces an (almost)
hexagon that matches quite well with the Si {111} hexagon and thus enables epitaxy.
   
 
Si - silicide interface TEM
Fig. 22 in the "lost book" .
Shows the development of Ni2Si and NiSi on {100} and {111} Si substrates at 300 oC and 400 oC. Note that there might be 2 layers on top of each other.
   
 
Si - silicide interface TEM
Fig. 23 in the "lost book"
Dark field images using reflection from the silicides
   
 
Si - silicide interface TEM
Similar to Fig. 24 in the "lost book"
The actual pictures are Fig. 7 and Fig. 8 of publication 2 (Transmission electron microscopy of the formation of nickel silicides.).
Top: (a) Ni2Si formation on {100} Si at 300 oC
. (b) NiSi forming at 400 o; some 2Si still on top. Different areas show somewhat different structures,
Bottom: Same thing on {111} Si. Both silicides are already present at 300 oC.
   
 
Si - silicide interface TEM
Fig. 25 in the "lost book"
   
 
Si - silicide interface TEM
Similar to Fig. 26 in the "lost book"
The actual picture here is Fig. 11 of publication 2. Just "A" and "B" are exchanged
   
 
Si - silicide interface TEM
Almost Fig. 27 in the "lost book".
Just the inset is missing
   
   
 
Si - silicide interface TEM
Fig. 28 in the "lost book".
It is also Fig. 9 in publication 1..
   
 
Si - silicide interface TEM
Si - silicide interface TEM
Close to Fig. 29 in the "loast" book.
Fig. 29 has also been used n publication 1
   
 
Si - silicide interface TEM
Fig. 30 in the "lost" book.
   
Figs. 31 and 32 are lost
   
 
Si - silicide interface TEM
Fig. 33 in the "lost" book
Also used in Publication 1
   
 
Si - silicide interface TEM
A drawing similar to the one intended Fig. 34 in the "lost book". .
The text to (b) applies
   
 
Si - silicide interface HRTEM
Fig. 35 in lost book.
   
 
Si - silicide interface HRTEM
.Fig. 36 in lost book
I'm nit sure why there seem to be 2 interfaces. Most likely the interface is inclined
   
 
Si - silicide interface HRTEM
Fig. 37 in lost book
The inset is a magnified part of the picture with misfit dislocations indicated
 
Si - silicide interface HRTEM
.Fig. 38 in lost book
The lower image is a magnified part of the upper one
   
 
Si - silicide interface TEM
Fig. 40 in lost book
The intended picture was Fig. 5 in paper No. 41 in my publication list:
FÖLL, H.: Lattice imaging of silicides-silicon interfaces. Phy. Stat. Sol. (a) 69 (1982) 779 (28 citations)
This colored version is used in my Hyperscript "Defects" in chapter 8.3. This chapter also contains the next 2 figures.
   
 
Si - silicide interface TEM
Fig. 40 in lost book
This colored and extended version is used in my Hyperscript "Defects" in chapter 8.3.
   
 
Si - silicide interface HRTEM
.Fig. 42 in lost book as interpreted in the Defects Hyperscript
Here is the text from the hyperscript:
Shown are two possible combinations of dislocations and steps in S=3 boundaries (of any kind). Dislocations in combination with a coherent
step are indicated in bold lines; the numbers in the hexagons indicate the level of the boundary Two possible geometries are shown in the upper
left-hand corner and the lower right-hand corner Four cross-section through the dislocation/step network are drawn in together with their schematic
image in HRTEM. Ending lattice fringes are indicated in light blue (assuming without justification that the image of dislocation/step combinations
that are inclined with respect to the electron beam add no further complications).
