Propagation of Waves01:07

Propagation of Waves

When a wave propagates from one medium to another, part of it may get reflected in the first medium, and part of it may get transmitted to the second medium. In such a case, the interface of the two mediums can be considered as a boundary that is neither fixed nor free.
Consider a scenario where a wave propagates from a string of low linear mass density to a string of high linear mass density. In such a case, the reflected wave is out of phase with respect to the incident wave, however the...

Reflection of Waves

When a wave travels from one medium to another, it gets reflected at the boundary of the second medium. A common example of this is when a person yells at a distance from a cliff and hears the echo of their voice. The sound waves (longitudinal waves) traveling in the air are reflected from the bounding cliff. Similarly, flipping one end of a string whose other end is tied to a wall causes a pulse (transverse wave) to travel through the string, which gets reflected upon reaching the wall. In...

  • To validate the extended method through calculations on a multi-layer Si-Sb-Si sample.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of a layer-by-layer representation of the Bloch-wave dynamical theory.
  • Extension of Allen et al.'s framework for excitation amplitude and block diagonalization.
  • Multiplication of block-diagonalized matrices for multi-layer sample calculations.
  • Simulation of electron intensities and EDX STEM images for a Si-Sb-Si sample.

Main Results:

  • Successful application of the extended scheme to a multi-layer Si-Sb-Si sample.
  • Calculation of electron intensities and EDX STEM images under various conditions.
  • Demonstration of the method's capability to simulate scattering in inhomogeneous crystalline structures.

Conclusions:

  • The extended Bloch-wave dynamical STEM simulation framework effectively handles inhomogeneous crystals.
  • The layer-by-layer approach provides a powerful tool for analyzing precipitates, defects, and atomic displacements.
  • The method shows promise for advancing 3-dimensional STEM analysis.
  • This work facilitates more accurate simulations of electron scattering in complex materials.
