High-resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy and Associated Techniques

This book provides an introduction to the fundamental concepts, techniques and methods used for electron microscopy at high resolution in space, energy and even in time. It delineates the theory of elastic scattering, which is useful for spectroscopic and chemical analyses. There are also discussions of the theory and practice of image calculations and applications of HRTEM to the study of solid surfaces, highly disordered materials, solid-state chemistry, mineralogy, semiconductors and metals. Compiled by experts in the fields of geology, physics and chemistry, the contributors include J. Cowley, J. Spence, P. Buseck, P. Self and M.A. O'Keefe.

Bio

<p class="i1">Peter Buseck, an ASU Regents' Professor, is known for his research in solid-state geochemistry and mineralogy, geochemistry and cosmochemistry, and atmospheric geochemistry. He has pioneered the use of transmission electron microscopy to study minerals, meteorites and aerosol particles at close to the atomic scale.


Praise for this book

class="i1">"This book is likely to become a classic in the subject area it covers, namely, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. It is authoritative, readable and clearly shows that HRTEM can provide a wealth of information about thin solid specimens that is difficult, if not impossible, to obtain by any other analytical method.
