Scanning Electron Microscopy provides a description of the physics of electron-probe formation and of electron-specimen interactions. The different imaging and analytical modes using secondary and backscattered electrons, electron-beam-induced currents, X-ray and Auger electrons, electron channelling effects, and cathodoluminescence are discussed to evaluate specific contrasts and to obtain quantitative information.

The aim of this monograph is to outline the physics of image formation, electron-specimen interactions, and image interpretation in transmission el- tron microscopy. Since the last edition, transmission electron microscopy has undergone a rapid evolution. The introduction of monochromators and - proved energy ?lters has allowed electron energy-loss spectra with an energy resolution down to about 0.1 eV to be obtained, and aberration correctors are now available that push the point-to-point resolution limit down below 0.1 nm. After the untimely death of Ludwig Reimer, Dr. Koelsch from...

Unter Epitaxie versteht man das orientierte Aufwachsen dunner Schichten auf einer kristallinen Unterlage. Im Idealfall erreicht man einkristalline Schichten, welche die Kristallorientierung der Unterlage fortsetzen. Bei der Aufdampf- methode mu man in der Regel erhohte Temperaturen der Unterlage wahrend des Aufdampfprozesses anwenden, um Epitaxie zu erreichen. In vielen Fallen spielen auch Adsorptionsschichten auf den kristallinen Unterlagen eine Rolle. Zum Bei- spiel wurde in der vorliegenden Arbeit die Epitaxie von Eisenschichten auf Stein- salz-Spaltflachen durch den H 0-Partialdruck...
