In a STEM an electron beam is focused into a small probe on the specimen. This probe is raster scanned across the specimen to form an image from the electrons transmitted through the specimen. The objective lens is positioned before the specimen instead of after the specimen as in a CTEM. Because the probe is focused and scanned before the specimen, accurate annular dark field (ADF) STEM image simulation is more difficult than CTEM simulation. Instead of an incident uniform plane wave, ADF-STEM simulation starts with a probe wavefunction focused at a specified position on the specimen. The wavefunction is then propagated through the specimen one atomic layer (or slice) at a time with Fresnel diffraction between slices using the multislice method. After passing through the specimen the wavefunction is diffracted onto the detector. The ADF signal for one position of the probe is formed by integrating all electrons scattered outside of an inner angle large compared with the objective aperture.

The (110) twin structure of YBa2Cu3O7 superconductor oxide, which is formed to reduce the strain energy of the tetragonal to orthorhombic phase transformation by alternating the a-b crystallographic axis across the boundary, was extensively investigated. Up to now the structure of the twin boundary still remained unclear. In order to gain insight into the nature of the twin boundary in Y-Ba-Cu-O system, a study using electron diffraction techniques including optical and computed diffractograms, as well as high resolution structure imaging techniques with corresponding computer simulation and processing was initiated.Bulk samples of Y-Ba-Cu-O oxide were prepared as described elsewhere. TEM specimens were produced by crushing bulk samples into a fine powder, dispersing the powder in acetone, and suspending the fine particles on a holey carbon grid. The electron microscopy during this study was performed on both a JEOL 2000EX and 2000FX electron microscopes operated at 200 kV.

Attempted preparation of a chelated Co(II) β-silylamide re-sulted in the unprecedented disproportionation to Co(0) and a spirocyclic cobalt(IV) bis(β-silyldiamide): [Co[(NtBu)2SiMe2]2] (1). Compound 1 exhibits a room temperature magnetic moment of 1.8 B.M and a solid state axial EPR spectrum diagnostic of a rare S = 1/2 configuration. Semicanonical coupled-cluster calculations (DLPNO-CCSD(T)) revealed the doublet state was clearly preferred (–27 kcal/mol) over higher spin configurations for which density functional theory (DFT) showed no energetic preference. Unlike other Co(IV) complexes, 1 had remarkable thermal stability, and was demonstrated to form a stable self-limiting monolayer in initial atomic layer deposition (ALD) surface saturation tests. The ease of synthesis and high-stability make 1 an attractive starting point to begin investigating otherwise inaccessible Co(IV) intermediates and synthesizing new materials.
