Handbook of Nanoscopy (2-Volume Set)

Description

Wiley, 2012. — 1442 p.This completely revised successor to the Handbook of Microscopy supplies in–depth coverage of all imaging technologies from the optical to the electron and scanning techniques. Adopting a twofold approach, the book firstly presents the various technologies as such, before going on to cover the materials class by class, analyzing how the different imaging methods can be successfully applied. It covers the latest developments in techniques, such as in–situ TEM, 3D imaging in TEM and SEM, as well as a broad range of material types, including metals, alloys, ceramics, polymers, semiconductors, minerals, quasicrystals, amorphous solids, among others. The volumes are divided between methods and applications, making this both a reliable reference and handbook for chemists, physicists, biologists, materials scientists and engineers, as well as graduate students and their lecturers.Contents Volume 1 Preface The Past, the Present, and the Future of Nanoscopy Methods Transmission Electron Microscopy Atomic Resolution Electron Microscopy Ultrahigh-Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy at Negative Spherical Aberration Z-Contrast Imaging Electron Holography Lorentz Microscopy and Electron Holography of Magnetic Materials Electron Tomography Statistical Parameter Estimation Theory - A Tool for Quantitative Electron Microscopy Dynamic Transmission Electron Microscopy Transmission Electron Microscopy as Nanolab Atomic-Resolution Environmental Transmission Electron Microscopy Speckles in Images and Diffraction Patterns Coherent Electron Diffractive Imaging Sample Preparation Techniques for Transmission Electron Microscopy Scanning Probe Microscopy - History, Background, and State of the Art Scanning Probe Microscopy - Forces and Currents in the Nanoscale World Scanning Beam Methods Fundamentals of the Focused Ion Beam System Volume 2 Preface Low-Energy Electron Microscopy Spin-Polarized Low-Energy Electron Microscopy Imaging Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy Atom Probe Tomography: Principle and Applications Signal and Noise Maximum Likelihood Estimation in MRI 3-D Surface Reconstruction from Stereo Scanning Electron Microscopy Images Applications Nanoparticles Nanowires and Nanotubes Carbon Nanoforms Metals and Alloys In situ Transmission Electron Microscopy on Metals Semiconductors and Semiconducting Devices Complex Oxide Materials Application of Transmission Electron Microscopy in the Research of Inorganic Photovoltaic Materials Polymers Ferroic and Multiferroic Materials Three-Dimensional Imaging of Biomaterials with Electron Tomography Small Organic Molecules and Higher Homologs
