A fast image simulation algorithm for scanning transmission electron microscopy

A fast image simulation algorithm for scanning transmission electron microscopy

Image simulation for scanning transmission electron microscopy at atomic resolution for samples with realistic dimensions can require very large computation times using existing simulation algorithms. We present a new algorithm named PRISM that combines features of the two most commonly used algorithms, namely the Bloch wave and multislice methods. PRISM uses a Fourier interpolation factor f th...

Image Simulation in Transmission Electron Microscopy

This is a tutorial on scanning and fixed beam transmission electron microscope image simulation using the multislice method. It is the second in a series of lectures given in the summer school held at Cornell Univ. in the summer of 2006.

A streaming multi-GPU implementation of image simulation algorithms for scanning transmission electron microscopy

Simulation of atomic-resolution image formation in scanning transmission electron microscopy can require significant computation times using traditional methods. A recently developed method, termed plane-wave reciprocal-space interpolated scattering matrix (PRISM), demonstrates potential for significant acceleration of such simulations with negligible loss of accuracy. Here, we present a softwa...
