EF-TEM을 이용한 비정질 실리카 나노입자의 구조 및 상전이 연구 = Structural Analysis & Phase Transition of Amorphous Silica Nanoparticles Using Energy-Filtering TEM

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In this study, we introduce the structural analysis of amorphous silica nanoparticles by EF-TEM electron diffraction and in-situ heating experiments. Three diffused rings were observed on the electron diffraction patterns of initial silica nanoparticles, while crystalline spot patterns were gradually appeared during the insitu heating process at $900^{\circ}C$. These patterns indicate the basic unit of $SiO_4$ tetrahedra consisting amorphous silica and gradual crystallization into the ideal layer structure of tridymite by heating. Under high vacuum condition in TEM, SiO nanoparticles were redeposited on the carbon grid after evaporation of SiO gas from $SiO_2$ above $850^{\circ}C$ and the remaining $SiO_2$ were crystallized into orthorhombic tridymite, consistent with ex-situ heating results in furnace at $900^{\circ}C$.
