Principles of Electron Optics, Volume 1: Basic Geometrical Optics

by Peter W. Hawkes, Erwin Kasper

Overview

Volume one of Principles of Electron Optics: Basic Geometrical Optics, Second Edition, explores the geometrical optics needed to analyze an extremely wide range of instruments: cathode-ray tubes; the family of electron microscopes, including the fixed-beam and scanning transmission instruments, the scanning electron microscope and the emission microscope; electron spectrometers and mass spectrograph; image converters; electron interferometers and diffraction devices; electron welding machines; and electron-beam lithography devices.

The book provides a self-contained, detailed, modern account of electron optics for anyone involved with particle beams of modest current density in the energy range up to a few mega-electronvolts. You will find all the basic equations with their derivations, recent ideas concerning aberration studies, extensive discussion of the numerical methods needed to calculate the properties of specific systems and guidance to the literature of all the topics covered. A continuation of these topics can be found in volume two, Principles of Electron Optics: Applied Geometrical Optics.

The book is intended for postgraduate students and teachers in physics and electron optics, as well as researchers and scientists in academia and industry working in the field of electron optics, electron and ion microscopy and nanolithography.

• Offers a fully revised and expanded new edition based on the latest research developments in electron optics
• Written by the top experts in the field
• Covers every significant advance in electron optics since the subject originated
• Contains exceptionally complete and carefully selected references and notes
• Serves both as a reference and text

About the Author

Peter Hawkes obtained his M.A. and Ph.D (and later, Sc.D.) from the University of Cambridge, where he subsequently held Fellowships of Peterhouse and of Churchill College. From 1959 – 1975, he worked in the electron microscope section of the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge, after which he joined the CNRS Laboratory of Electron Optics in Toulouse, of which he was Director in 1987. He was Founder-President of the European Microscopy Society and is a Fellow of the Microscopy and Optical Societies of America. He is a member of the editorial boards of several microscopy journals and serial editor of Advances in Electron Optics.
Erwin Kasper studied physics at the Universities of Münster and Tübingen (Germany), where he obtained his PhD in 1965 and the habilitation to teach physics in 1969. After scientific spells in the University of Tucson, Arizona (1966) and in Munich (1970), he resumed his research and teaching in the Institute of Applied Physics, University of Tübingen, where he was later appointed professor. He lectured on general physics and especially on electron optics. The subject of his research was theoretical electron optics and related numerical methods on which he published numerous papers. After his retirement in 1997, he published a book on numerical field calculation (2001).

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

A fully revised and updated reference examining the fundamental physical principles of electron optics, emphasizing basic geometrical optics

Editorial Reviews

This volume and the second (see following entry) are two of a three- part textbook and source-book (v.3 is not yet published). The fundamentals are set out in detail for students seeking to master basic ideas or to begin the analysis of some class of systems not yet explored. Principal electron optical components are likewise dealt with in great detail. Where optical elements that are not quite so common are concerned, readers are directed to original articles and reviews or specialist texts. Annotation c.
