Three-dimensional imaging of YB56 by high-resolution electron microscopy

Abstract

The three-dimensional potential map of YB₅₆ was obtained by inverse Fourier transformation of three-dimensional phases and amplitudes in three high-resolution images taken along the [100], [110] and [111] directions of YB₅₆ crystals; the size of the imaging region was 14 nm × 14 nm × ∼4 nm, and the image directly showed the three-dimensional potential map of the crystal, a useful method for three-dimensional structure analysis in nanoscale regions.
