摘要
We demonstrate atomic-resolution chemical mapping using energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy in scanning transmission electron microscopy. Theoretical simulations of the imaging process demonstrate that these images are directly interpretable. This is due to the fact that the effective ionization interaction is local and this is an incoherent mode of imaging.
