The Difference Electron Nanoscope: Methods and Applications

ISBN-13: 9789814774017 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 254 str.

Opis

This book deals with the difference electron nanoscope (DEN), whose principles have been invented and realised by the book author. DEN is a software program that displays 3D difference electron hyperareas floating in space and the relevant efg as a wire frame model within the unit cell of the sample involved. For the first time, diffractometry and spectroscopy have been joined to common synergetic effects that may contribute to a better understanding of electric and magnetic interactions in a crystal. The monograph might contribute to a wide distribution of the method in the scientific world.

Spis treści

Introduction: What is a DEN?. An Overview on the Methods Involved. The Basic Quantity: The Electric Field Gradient (efg). The Three Pillars of the DEN Method. The Extension of Pillar 3: The DEN method. Application of the DEN on a Representative Example (Synthetic Fayalite Fe2SiO4). Summary and Outlook.
