Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy Advanced Characterization Methods for Materials Science Applications

This book:
Discusses existing approaches for experimental design in the recording of high-fidelity quantitative ADF data
Presents the most common types of scintillator-photomultiplier ADF detectors, along with their strengths and weaknesses. Proposes strategies to minimize the introduction of errors from these detectors and avenues for dealing with residual errors
Discusses the practice of reliable multiframe imaging, along with the benefits and new experimental opportunities it presents in electron dose or dose-rate management
Focuses on supervised and unsupervised machine learning for electron microscopy
Discusses open data formats, community-driven software, and data repositories
Proposes methods to process information at both global and local scales, and discusses avenues to improve the storage, transfer, analysis, and interpretation of multidimensional datasets
Provides the spectrum of possibilities to study materials at the resolution limit by means of new developments in instrumentation
Recommends methods for quantitative structural characterization of sensitive nanomaterials using electron diffraction techniques and describes strategies to collect electron diffraction patterns for such materials
This book helps academics, researchers, and industry professionals in materials science, chemistry, physics, and related fields to understand and apply computer-science-derived analysis methods to solve problems regarding data analysis and interpretation of materials properties.
