Abstract

T.E.M. methods are described for the quantitative characterisation of the compositional and structural changes at interfaces and in homo- and hetero-phase multilayer structures. Many of the newer approaches described including the Fresnel and Centre Stop Dark Field Imaging Methods were developed specifically for such characterisations. The range of applications of each of the techniques is assessed as is the importance of delineating the limiting effects of inelastic and inelastic/elastic multiple scattering.
