ABSTRACT

A plastic bag method was developed to observe air-sensitive samples on microstructure and phase distribution without exposure to air during the holder transfer process into the transmission electron microscope (TEM). As an example, a type of lithium aluminum hydride (Li(3)AlH(6)) was observed in the TEM to demonstrate the effectiveness of this method. Results show that the plastic bag method is a simple and practical TEM transfer method utilized to reduce air contact for a series of air-sensitive materials.
