Abstract

Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy Diffraction Contrast Imaging (STEM-DCI) has been gaining popularity for the identification and analysis of dislocations in crystalline materials due to its ability to supress undesirable image features that are often present in conventional TEM images. However, there does not yet exist a robust body of work demonstrating expected contrast in these imaging conditions. A novel approach for the simulation of STEM-DCI images was developed using a modified form of the scattering matrix formalism. This algorithm was used to simulate a variety of dislocation configurations generated using three-dimensional discrete dislocation dynamics.
