(a) Schematic illustration of the experimental setup. (b) Top-view SEM image of the ZnO tetrapod taken one day before the X-ray experiment. (c), (d) Side-view SEM images of the same ZnO tetrapod taken two years after the X-ray measurement with 30 keV electrons, where a condensed carbon layer was found on the sample surface. The width and length of the vertical leg are about 0.37 and 2.5 µm, respectively. |
