Bg. Frost et al., Simulation of electron phase shifts by electrostatic potential across electroceramic interfaces, J PHYS D, 32(14), 1999, pp. 1734-1738
An expression for the electron-wave phase shifts caused by the potential of
an electric dipole is extended to a general equation representing the phas
e shifts caused by the electrostatic potential across a parallel-plate capa
citor. The capacitor is then used to construct a simple model for the phase
shifts caused by the potential barriers present across internal interfaces
in solids. The phase simulations yields phase shifts for electroceramic in
terfaces in good agreement with the phase images reconstructed from off-axi
s electron holograms of acceptor-doped grain boundaries in SiTiO3.
