Deskripsi
The ability of scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) to image single atoms is becoming increasingly sophisticated. Here, the authors use differential phase contrast STEM to map the atomic electric fields within single Au atoms and SrTiO3crystals, a step toward visualizing such intra- and interatomic electronic structure as chemical bonds.
