Accurate and Fast Multislice Simulations of HAADF Image Contrast by Parallel Computing

  • Conference paper
Book cover Microscopy of Semiconducting Materials 2007

Part of the book series: Springer Proceedings in Physics ((SPPHY,volume 120))

Summary

A new method for fast and accurate multislice calculation, in the frozen-phonon approximation for high angle annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscopy images, is presented. The improvement with respect to the existing approaches is in a strong reduction of the time necessary for image contrast simulation, without losing accuracy. The method is based on the development of optimized parallel computer codes for the multislice calculations in the frozen-phonon approximation.
