High‐resolution Electron Microscopy of semiconductors and metals

Abstract
Review: Two‐dimensional information on the microstructure of materials at a resolution comparable to interatomic distances is crucial for the study of interfaces, defects, growth mechanisms etc. One of the most important analytical methods for gaining such information is high‐resolution electron microscopy (HREM). The interpretation of the results on semiconductors, magnetic alloys and multilayers, can often be facilitated through image processing and simulation.
