Available identifiers

MaRDI QIDQ6674128

simuating TEM images of an unstrained crystal by numerically solving the Darwin–Howie–Whelan equation describing the electron propagation

Defining Formula: $\begin{array}{cc}\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}z}{\psi }_{𝐠}(z)& =2\mathrm{i}\pi s_{𝐠}{\psi }_{𝐠}(z)+\frac{\mathrm{i}\pi }{{\rho }_{𝐠}}\sum _{𝐡\in {\Lambda }_m^{*}}{U}_{𝐠\mathbf{-}𝐡}{\psi }_{𝐡}(z)\\ s_g& =-\frac{g\cdot (2k_0+g)}{2n\cdot (k_0+g)}\end{array}$

$U_g$ symbol represents Electric Potential Fourier Coefficients

${\Lambda }_m^{*}$ symbol represents Reciprocal Lattice

${\psi }_g$ symbol represents Amplitude of Electron Wave

$g$ symbol represents Reciprocal Lattice Vectors

$k_0$ symbol represents Wave Vector of an Electron

$n$ symbol represents Unit Normal Vector

$s_g$ symbol represents Excitation Error
