Principles of Electron Optics, Volume 2: Applied Geometrical Optics / Edition 2

by Peter W. Hawkes, Erwin Kasper

Overview

Principles of Electron Optics: Applied Geometrical Optics, Second Edition gives detailed information about the many optical elements that use the theory presented in Volume 1: electrostatic and magnetic lenses, quadrupoles, cathode-lens-based instruments including the new ultrafast microscopes, low-energy-electron microscopes and photoemission electron microscopes and the mirrors found in their systems, Wien filters and deflectors. The chapter on aberration correction is largely new. The long section on electron guns describes recent theories and covers multi-column systems and carbon nanotube emitters. Monochromators are included in the section on curved-axis systems.

The lists of references include many articles that will enable the reader to go deeper into the subjects discussed in the text.

The book is intended for postgraduate students and teachers in physics and electron optics, as well as researchers and scientists in academia and industry working in the field of electron optics, electron and ion microscopy and nanolithography.

About the Author

Peter Hawkes obtained his M.A. and Ph.D (and later, Sc.D.) from the University of Cambridge, where he subsequently held Fellowships of Peterhouse and of Churchill College. From 1959 – 1975, he worked in the electron microscope section of the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge, after which he joined the CNRS Laboratory of Electron Optics in Toulouse, of which he was Director in 1987. He was Founder-President of the European Microscopy Society and is a Fellow of the Microscopy and Optical Societies of America. He is a member of the editorial boards of several microscopy journals and serial editor of Advances in Electron Optics.

Erwin Kasper studied physics at the Universities of Münster and Tübingen (Germany), where he obtained his PhD in 1965 and the habilitation to teach physics in 1969. After scientific spells in the University of Tucson, Arizona (1966) and in Munich (1970), he resumed his research and teaching in the Institute of Applied Physics, University of Tübingen, where he was later appointed professor. He lectured on general physics and especially on electron optics. The subject of his research was theoretical electron optics and related numerical methods on which he published numerous papers. After his retirement in 1997, he published a book on numerical field calculation (2001).

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

Fully revised and updated reference providing the applications of electron optics in geometrical optics

Editorial Reviews

This volume and the second (see following entry) are two of a three- part textbook and source-book (v.3 is not yet published). The fundamentals are set out in detail for students seeking to master basic ideas or to begin the analysis of some class of systems not yet explored. Principal electron optical components are likewise dealt with in great detail. Where optical elements that are not quite so common are concerned, readers are directed to original articles and reviews or specialist texts. Annotation c.

"This work should be regarded as both a textbook and a source-book; the fundamentals of the subject are set out in detail, and there the student should find everything needed to master the basic ideas or to begin the analysis of some class of systems not yet explored; the principle electron optical components are likewise dealt with in great detail. I like to recommend this work to each who is concerned within the field of particle optics."
—OPTIK
"The importance of the present volumes is that they present again the whole subject in a very coherent way, but particularly also taking into account the developments of the past twenty years. They should be regarded both as a text book and an important reference....Their aim of providing a very up to date account of the principles of electron optics has been well achieved and they can be highly recommended."
