Abstract:
The Large Angle Convergent Beam Electron Diffraction (LACBED) technique has been applied to determination of the tetragonal mismatch in coherent Si/Si1-xGex/Si heterostructures. Two-dimensional (2D) dynamical simulation of the LACBED patterns has been performed and compared with the corresponding experimental ones. A good agreement is found in the whole simulated area, particularly as regards the splitting of the Bragg contours, due to the strain field present in the TEM cross-sections.

Electrostatic Boundary Conditions in Dielectrics
Consider a case where both the mediums across a boundary are two different dielectric materials. Recall that the electric field and electric displacement are proportional and related through the material's permittivity.

Current Source in One Mesh: The analysis process is straightforward when a current source is found in only one mesh within the circuit. Mesh currents are assigned as usual, with the mesh containing the current source excluded from the analysis. Kirchhoff's voltage law (KVL)...
