Scattering of Electrons by an Atom—Fundamental Process for Visualization of a Single Atom by TEM

Atomic scattering factorAtomic scattering factor f(2θ), which is the amplitude including phaseScattering of electrons by an atom of waves scattered from an atom, is explained in a last part of Sect.  5.1 . The argument 2θ corresponds to scattering/diffraction anglesScattering/diffraction angles. In this chapter, we study details of the theory and derivation. This knowledge is a basis for the observation of a single atom using a transmission electron microscopeTransmission electron microscope (TEM).
