This study presents a new method for reconstructing object potentials using scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM). The technique works even with multiple scattering and does not require sample thickness information.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Physics
  • Electron Microscopy

Background:

  • Accurate reconstruction of object potentials is crucial for understanding material properties at the nanoscale.
  • Conventional methods often struggle with complex scattering phenomena and require precise sample thickness measurements.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a robust method for reconstructing projected object potentials from scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) data.
  • To overcome limitations of existing techniques, particularly in the presence of multiple scattering and unknown sample thickness.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizes data acquired in the coherent imaging mode of a scanning transmission electron microscope.
  • Employs a novel algorithm for reconstructing the object potential, applicable even with multiple scattering.
