Differential programming enabled functional imaging with Lorentz transmission electron microscopy

Abstract Lorentz transmission electron microscopy is an advanced characterization technique that enables the simultaneous imaging of both the microstructure and functional properties of materials. Information such as magnetization and electric potentials is carried by the phase of the electron wave,...
