Electron microscopy in solid state physics

This book reports on the capabilities and limitations of the application of electron microscopy to solid state physics and materials science. It is divided into two parts: 'Electron Microscopic Methods' and 'Applications in Solid State Physics'. In the first part the methods of electron microscope examination employed in solid state physics are described, with special reference to the reliable interpretation of electron micrographs (image formation, image interpretation). Without any claim to completeness, the second part of the book on the applications of electron microscopy comprises those fields of solid state physics and materials science to which it may appreciably contribute
