We describe a phase plate for transmission electron microscopy taking advantage of a hitherto-unknown phenomenon, namely a beam-induced Volta potential on the surface of a continuous thin film. The ...

The ability to achieve spatial resolutions that are greater than is possible in standard optical microscopy is what makes electron microscopy so important for the investigation of nanoscale structures ...

With resolution 1,000 times greater than a light microscope, electron microscopes are exceptionally good at imaging materials and detailing their properties. But like all technologies, they have some ...

A new technique that combines electron microscopy and laser technology enables programmable, arbitrary shaping of electron beams. It can potentially be used for optimizing electron optics and for ...

Layered LiCoO₂ and corresponding SNED diffraction pattern highlighting atomic structure and interfacial phase transitions. Ishikawa, Japan-- Modern energy technologies are essential for meeting the ...

The high sensitivity of the reflection electron microscopy (REM) technique to small changes in the crystal structure and composition of the top surface layers of various crystalline materials makes it ...
