Description
Book SynopsisThis book is a practical guide to the use of Monte Carlo simulation techniques for the study of electron solid interactions in the electron microscope. Programs, optimized for use on personal computers, are developed to deal with typical applications including secondary, and back- scattered, electron imaging. EBIC imaging of semiconductors and X-ray microanalysis.
Trade Review`... provides an outstanding introduction for the microscopist seeking to make new use of this powerful simulation tool, as well as a great resource for established modelers looking to extend their knowledge... clearly written and strongly supported by practical examples throughout.' Radiation and Physical Chemistry
