High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) is often used to study the structure of nanomaterials. Scanning transmission x-ray microscopy (STXM) is a synchrotron based nano-spectroscopy technique for recording nano-scaled images with chemical and magnetic contrast.
Here we present a combined HRTEM and STXM study of carbon nanotube (CNT) bundles filled with Er3N@C80 fullerenes. The measurements demonstrate that unique CNT bundles can be located and studied with the two techniques. We also obtained erbium M5 edge x-ray absorption spectra from a single bundle. Images recorded on and off resonance provide an erbium map of the sample.
We correlate HRTEM and STXM images of the same nanometer scaled object and discuss the combination of the two techniques.
