Course objectives
Lectures give the basic principles of charged particle optics. Different approaches to the perturbation theory are described and applied to the optical systems with the rectilinear or circular central trajectory. The methods for the computation of electromagnetic fields of individual optical elements are discussed.
Learning outcomes
Upon completion of the course, the student will: - Be able to describe the paraxial properties of electron-optical systems - Understand the effect of aberrations on the properties of electron optical systems - Understand the effect of wavefront and geometric aberrations on the resolution of an electron microscope - Understand the effect of parasitic aberrations on the electron microscope, including how to correct them - Understand the principles of image formation in electron microscopes
Syllabus
  • ~High resolution electron microscopy: with (Ruska - TEM) and without (Binning and Rohrer - STM) optical elements.  Mathematical tools for charged particle optics: approximative methods for the solution of the classical (Lagrange, Hamilton and Hamilton - Jacobi) and quantum (Schroedinger) equations of motion.  The description of the beam in the phase space.  The computation and practical realization of the rotationally symmetric and multipole magnetic and electrostatic fields.  Optical elements in charged particle optics: lens,prism and mirror.
