Electron Holography (1993 edition)

by A. Tonomura

Holography was devised for breaking through the resolution limit of electron microscopes. The advent of a "coherent" field emission electron beam has enabled the use of Electron Holography in various areas of magnetic domain structures observation, fluxon observation in superconductors, and fundamental experiments in physics which have been inaccessible using other techniques. After examining the fundamentals of electron holography and its applications to the afore mentioned fields, a detailed discussion of the Aharonov ... Read More

Holography was devised for breaking through the resolution limit of electron microscopes. The advent of a "coherent" field emission electron beam has enabled the use of Electron Holography in various areas of magnetic domain structures observation, fluxon observation in superconductors, and fundamental experiments in physics which have been inaccessible using other techniques. After examining the fundamentals of electron holography and its applications to the afore mentioned fields, a detailed discussion of the Aharonov-Bohm effect and the related experiments is presented. Many photographs and illustrations are included to elucidate the text. Read Less
