Abstract

It is shown that the dynamical diffraction calculation using periodic extension of the sampling boundary points leads to serious and artificial errors in the High Resolution Electron Microscope (HREM) image simulation for a non-periodic object in FFT Multi-Slice (FFTMS) method which is now routinely used for the simulation of HREM images from periodic objects.In a systematic study of the problem of induced numerical artifacts, a new method has been proposed for the HREM image simulation of non-periodic objects. It is based on some improvements in the calculation of the phase grating and the propagation operator to the Real Space Multi-Slice (RSMS) method, which are compatible with a non-periodic object.It can be seen from the comparison with the experimental HREM images that much more better agreement can be obtained by using Real Space Multi-Slice method for Non-periodic objects (RSMSN).
