Volume fraction measurement of dispersoids in a thin foil by parallel energy‐loss spectroscopy: development and assessment of the technique

SUMMARY A method to determine the volume fraction of a dispersoid phase based on measurements carried out on thin foils is presented. The method involves the reconstruction of the shape and volume, by electron energy‐loss spectroscopy thickness measurements, of the analysed foil and the determination of the volume of the dispersoids using more conventional electron microscopy imaging techniques. Hence the technique does not require the use of …
