High-Resolution Electron Microscopy (Monographs on the Physics and Chemistry of Materials Book 60) 3rd Edition by John C. H. Spence (PDF)

Description

The discovery of the Nanotube in 1991 by electron microscopy has ushered in the era of Nanoscience. The atomic-resolution electron microscope has been a crucial tool in this effort. This book gives the basic theoretical background needed to understand how electron microscopes allow us to see atoms, together with highly practical advice for electron microscope operators. The book covers the usefulness of seeing atoms in the semiconductor industry, in materials science(where scientists strive to make new lighter,stronger, cheaper materials), and condensed matter physics (for example in the study of the new superconductors). Biologists have recently used the atomic-resolution electron microscope to obtain three-dimensional images of the Ribosome, work which iscovered in this book. The books also shows how the ability to see atomic arrangements has helped us understand the properties of matter.This new third edition of the standard text retains the early section of the fundamentals of electron optics, linear imaging theory with partial coherence and multiple-scattering theory. Also preserved are updated earlier sections on practical methods, with detailed step-by-step accounts of the procedures needed to obtain the highest quality images of the arrangement of atoms in thin crystals using a modern electron microscope. The sections on applications of atomic resolution transmissionelectron microscopy (HREM) have been extensively updated, including descriptions of HREM in the semiconductor industry, superconductor research, solid state chemistry and nanoscience, as well as metallurgy, mineralogy, condensed matter physics, materials science and biology. Entirely new sections havebeen added on electron holography , aberration correctors, field-emission guns, imaging filters, HREM in biology an don organic crystals,super-resolution methods, Ptychography, CCD cameras and Image plates. New chapters are devoted entirely to scanning transmission electron microscopy and Z-contrast, and also to associated techniques, such as energy-loss spectrocospy, Alchemi, nanodiffraction and cathodoluminescence. Sources of software for image interpretation and electron-optical design arealso given.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I bought the original 1980 addition 25 five years ago as a post-doc looking to get into high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). This book gave me what I needed to get started and publishing in what was then a fairly new field. Now imaging atomic lattices is fairly commonplace and HRTEM has gone well beyond the what was state-of-the-art in 1980. Nevertheless, if any topic is ever explained clearly even once, nobody will every bother again, so this is still a useful book in many ways. I found the introduction to phase contrast microscopy at the beginning of the book especially valuable–particularly in its use of actual electron micrographs to illustrate the appearance of a bright fringe at the edge of an object for the under focus condition, with a dark finge visible in the over focus condition. When read along with Cowley’s book

⭐the reader has a pretty good picture of the still very useful conventional HRTEM technique.
