Electron diffraction simulation on Micro-VAX II computers with the aid of an array processor

Abstract
A computer program for 2-d electron diffraction pattern simulation has been developed under the DEC Micro-VAX II/Micro-VMS environment. Diffraction patterns or images formed by focusing an electron beam of arbitrary energy on a sample can be simulated. The 3-d sample structure can be either pre-calculated or on-line generated based on the symmetry and other necessary information provided by the user. The output is a series of diffraction patterns or images, at the user's ch...

Title of program: MIDS
Catalogue Id: ABLK_v1_0

Nature of problem
To simulate the 2-d convergent beam electron diffraction(CBED) patterns produced by focusing a coherent beam, such as that from a field emission gun, on a crystal or defective sample for structure study at the atomic level. The simulation helps researchers to understand various electron diffraction phenomena observed experimentally and to predict new ones.
