Title
Triple ion beam cutting of diamond/Al composites for interface characterization
Author
Abstract
A novel triple ion beam cutting technique was employed to prepare high-quality surfaces of diamond/Al composites for interfacial characterization, which has been unachievable so far. Near-perfect and artifact-free surfaces were obtained without mechanical pre-polishing. Hence, the as-prepared surfaces are readily available for further study and also, ready to be employed in a focus ion beam system for preferential selection of transmission electron microscopy samples. Dramatically different diamond/Al interface configurations - sub-micrometer Al2O3 particles and clean interfaces were unambiguously revealed.
