D. Timpel et al., HREM SIMULATIONS OF PARTICLES AND INTERFACES REFINED BY MOLECULAR-DYNAMICS RELAXATIONS, Materials science & engineering. B, Solid-state materials for advanced technology, 37(1-3), 1996, pp. 101-107
Precipitates in glasses as well as multi-layer semiconductor structure
s (quantum wells) are investigated by high resolution electron microsc
opy (HREM) providing local atomic information at the relaxed interface
s. The analysis of micrographs requires the computer simulation of the
HREM contrast using a theoretical atomic structure model of the inter
faces generated by molecular dynamics to describe the relaxations.
