Reflection Electron Microscopy and Spectroscopy for Surface Analysis

This book give an overview of reflection electron microscopy using both image and diffraction to study surface crystallography. Electron energy loss spectroscopy is also discussed as a tool to analyse the chemical and structural aspects of surfaces. The author gives an extensive and complete presentation of the techniques with many practical examples and the theoretical background necessary to explain the experimental observations. Theoretical approaches are discussed in detail: kinematical and dynamical theory and multislice theories for image and diffraction studies. FORTRAN source codes are included for calculating crystal structure data and electron energy loss spectra in different scattering geometries.
