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 idealized inverse-opal lattice is a network of slender struts that has cubic symmetry. We analytically investigate the elastoplastic properties of the idealized inverse-opal lattice. The analysis reveals that the inverse-opal lattice is bending-dominated under all loadings, except under pure hydrostatic compression or tension. Under hydrostatic loading, the lattice exhibits a stretching dominated behavior. Interestingly, for this lattice, Young's modulus and shear modulus are equal in magnitude. The analytical estimates for the elastic constants and yield behavior are validated by performing unit-cell finite element (FE) simulations. The hydrostatic buckling response of the idealized inverse-opal lattice is also investigated using the Floquet–Bloch wave method.

The Bloch wave method has been widely used for interpreting reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED) patterns and the consistency between the theory and high energy electron reflection (HEER) experiments has been claimed by different authors. The recent rigorous investigation on the consistency between the Bloch wave method and the multislice approach due to Cowley and Moodie in the reflection case for Au(001) surface has also provided a clear theoretical proof for the validity of the Bloch wave method in reflection case. However, a severe deviation of the Bloch wave solution for the Au(110) surface in the reflection case from the stabilized solution of its multislicing via the multislice iteration has recently revealed by the BMCR method (Bloch wave + Multislice Combined for Reflection).Fig.1 shows the results calculated for the Au(110) surface using the BMCR method. The incident angle is 30mRad and the absorption is included by taking the imaginary potential as 10% of the real potential in both the Bloch wave and multislice calculation.
