We present a theory and simulation of thermal diffuse scattering due to the excitation magnons in scanning transmission electron microscopy. The calculations indicate that can atomic contrast when detected by energy-loss spectroscopy using atomic-size beams. results presented here intensity magnon bcc iron at 300~K is 4 orders magnitude weaker than arising from vibrations. In an energy range wh...

Electron tomography offers important three-dimensional (3D) structural information which cannot be observed by two-dimensional imaging. By combining annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscopy (ADF-STEM) with aberration correction, the resolution of has reached atomic resolution. However, based on ADF-STEM inherently suffers from several issues, including a high dose requiremen...

We present a new multislice code for the computer simulation of scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) images based on the frozen lattice approximation. Unlike existing software packages, the code is optimized to perform well on highly parallelized computing clusters, combining distributed and shared memory architectures. This enables efficient calculation of large lateral scanning ar...

By coupling techniques of simultaneous secondary (SE) and transmitted electron (TE) imaging at high resolution in a modern scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM), with the ability to heat specimens using a highly stable MEMS-based heating platform, we obtained synergistic information to clarify the behavior of catalysts during in situ thermal treatments. Au/iron oxide catalyst 'leache...

The scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) allows collection of a number of simultaneous signals, such as cathodoluminescence (CL), transmitted electron intensity and spectroscopic information from individual localized defects. This review traces the development of CL and atomic resolution imaging from their early inception through to the possibilities that exist today for achieving a...

v2o5/sio2 nanoparticles was prepared via an one-pot sol gel method from vanadyl- acetylacetonate and tetraethylorthosilicate in refluxing meoh, followed by calcination at 700 °c for 2 hours. the resultant nanoparticles was characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy (sem), transmission electron microscopy (tem), x-ray diffraction (xrd), tga and ftir techniques. rapid and efficient ar...

nanocrystalline zinc oxide (zno) powders with different morphology have been successfully synthesized by using different surfactants such as cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (ctab), sodium dodecyl sulphate (sds), and tri ethanol amine (tea) via hydrothermal method. the products were characterized by means of powder x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem), transmission electr...

In situ scanning transmission electron microscopy is being developed for numerous applications in the study of nucleation and growth under electrochemical driving forces. For this type of experiment, one of the key parameters is to identify when nucleation initiates. Typically, the process of identifying the moment that crystals begin to form is a manual process requiring the user to perform an...
