Four-dimensional scanning transmission electron microscopy (4D-STEM) is one of the most cutting-edge directions in electron microscopy. By performing a two-dimensional scan across the sample surface while recording a full diffraction pattern at each scan point with a pixelated detector, 4D-STEM generates a four-dimensional dataset containing both real-space and reciprocal-space information. This technique breaks through the limitations […]
