摘要：

This paper reports on the substantial improvement of specimen quality by use of a low voltage (0.05 to similar to 1 keV), small diameter (similar to 1 mu m), argon ion beam following initial preparation using conventional broad-beam ion milling or focused ion beam. The specimens show significant reductions in the amorphous layer thickness and implanted artifacts. The targeted ion milling controls the specimen thickness according to the needs of advanced aberration-corrected and/or analytical transmission electron microscopy applications.
