Computed Tomography

Computed Tomography

Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

Modeling and Similitude

Modeling and Similitude

Scaled modeling is a fundamental technique in engineering, enabling the study of large and complex systems by creating smaller, manageable replicas that recreate critical characteristics of the original. In hydrology and civil infrastructure, for example, scaled models of dams help analyze water flow, turbulence, and pressure. This method allows for accurate predictions of real-world behavior within a controlled environment, significantly reducing the cost and time involved in full-scale...

To provide a tool for researchers working with a wide range of materials, from crystalline to amorphous and finite objects.

Main Methods:

The study presents SimulaTEM, a program based on the multislice approach for electron diffraction and imaging simulations.
The multislice method is implemented in a way that accommodates non-periodic objects.
The program requires the atomic coordinates of the object to perform calculations.

Main Results:

SimulaTEM can accurately simulate high-resolution micrographs and diffraction patterns.
The software successfully handles a variety of object types, including finite objects, amorphous samples, crystals, quasicrystals, grain boundaries, and nanoparticles.
The simulation capability extends to any arbitrary object for which atomic coordinates can be provided.

Conclusions:

SimulaTEM offers a powerful and flexible tool for simulating electron microscopy data.
The program's ability to handle non-periodic objects significantly expands its utility in materials science research.
SimulaTEM facilitates the interpretation of HREM images and diffraction patterns from complex and diverse material systems.
