High-Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy: and Associated Techniques

by Peter Buseck, John Cowley, LeRoy Eyring

Overview

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 most 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. Contributors include J. Cowley, J. Spence, P. Buseck, P. Self, and M.A. O'Keefe. Compiled by experts in the fields of geology, physics and chemistry, this comprehensive text will be the standard reference for years to come.

Editorial Reviews

"Can be used by both advanced undergraduates and established scientists who are entering the field of HRTEM and who wish to obtain a sound, comprehensive overview of the subject and its possible impact of their own research." —Journal of Metals

"The editors and authors of this authoritative volume are leading experts in the subject and cover it in a manner accessible to advanced undergraduates in solid-state and materials science. The illustrations are admirably clear, and the bibliography comprehensive and current, with references through 1987. Recommended." —CHOICE

"The high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM) has developed to the point where it should be considered a standard tool in solid state chemistry. . . . 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." —Journal of Solid State Chemistry

"Without exception, the brief list of references, though very selective, are excellent. The quality of the book, and the reproduction in particular, are excellent. This book is a must for every library where electron microscopists work; overall it is not a book for the nonmicroscopist or the beginner." —Ceramic Abstracts
