Publisher's Synopsis
There has been a considerable expansion in the breadth and depth of studies involving scanning tunneling microscopy and high-resolution electron microscopy. The purpose of this book is to highlight recent developments and applications of atomic-resolution imaging methods to surfaces and bulk defects. Papers from a range of scientific and engineering disciplines are presented. Recent advances in imaging techniques, including quantitative image matching, are emphasized. Applications to ceramics, intermetallics and semiconductor surface reconstructions are also featured.
