Quantitative Comparisons
Bragg Spot Intensities Phonon Background
(a) 50 nm
(b) 200 nm
Section averages of the Bragg maxima and the phonon background for experimental
and simulated images of Si(100) at 200 kV with sample thicknesses (a) and (b)

Quantitative Comparisons
Causes of Discrepancy
• Point spread of Bragg spots
• Atomic correlations
• Quantitative comparisons
of the HOLZ:TDS ratio
and of the phonon
background
Anjan Soumyanarayanan
Challenges Imposed
• Guarding from Contamination and Beam Damage
– Improving the sample preparation technique and ‘treatment’
