Abstract

The iterative wave-function reconstruction (IWFR) method developed by Allen et al. (2004) was reviewed with concern for its applicability. The high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) studies of the materials such as GaAs, $YBa_2Cu_3O_7$ and $Al_2CuMg$ reported in the literature were utilized in this review. In this process the basis of validity, the limiting conditions and the information limit of this method were discussed. It was particularly noted that the phase contrast image of the exit plane wave evaluated from this method reveals not only $C_s$-corrected atomic resolution within information limit, but also strong tendency of contrast proportional to the magnitude of the atomic number of compositional atoms in a crystal.

Allen et al. (2004)에 의해 개발된 IWFR 방법에 대해서 응용성에 관심을 가지고 고찰되었다. 이 고찰에는 문헌에 보고된 GaAs, $YBa_2CuO_7$ 및 $Al_2CuMg$의 재료에 대한 HRTEM 연구물들이 이용되었다. 이 고찰 과정에서 이 방법의 타당성에 대한 이론적 근거, 제한조건 및 정보한계들을 명확히 제시되었다. IWFR 방법을 통해 얻은 결정 밑 표면에 전자 파동함수의 상(phase)-영상은 구면수차에 의한 영상 왜곡이 교정된 정보한계 범위 내에서 원자분해상을 나타낼 뿐만 아니라 결정의 구성원자의 원자번호에 대체적으로 비례하는 강도 분포를 나타내는 강한 경향이 있음이 특히 주목되었다.
