Overview

Electron microscopy has evolved as a powerful technique for the examination and understanding of material microstructures, and electron microscope methods are now essential for developing new engineering materials. The objective of this series of monographs is to provide overviews of the impact of electron microscopy in different branches of materials science. Each book in the series has been designed to be based upon the materials spectrum, from metals and ceramics to polymers and semiconductors, and to deal with the full range of available electron microscope techniques, such as electron diffraction, lattice imaging, scanning electron microscopy and microprobe analysis. This particular book covers all aspects of the use of the transmission electron microscope in the study of grain boundaries and interphase interfaces in metals and alloys.
