Product Description
‘This is an excellent and comprehensive book describing the theory of the elastic and inelastic scattering of the electrons by crystals….This book fills a gap in the existing books on electron microscopy because it discusses in considerable depth inelastic scattering in electron diffraction and microscopy…very useful both as a textbook and as a reference book….comprehensive and right up to date…suitable for scientists ranging from research students to … More >>

I have used this book extensively in lecture preparations for an advanced graduate-level TEM course. There has long been a need for such a book, which covers all aspects of electron interactions in materials with extraordinary depth and clarity. The book is remarkably well organized and clearly written, with illustrations that actually illustrate rather than distract. I found it very readable, yet deep in its content. Technical issues are confronted directly, dealt with properly, and not overly belabored. This is definitely a “physicist’s book”; people with weak backgrounds in applied mathematics or quantum mechanics may want to review these topics before plunging in. But if you have the background, you’ll be pleased to know that someone has finally covered the subject the way it should be covered.
