Abstract

This work analyzes the characterization of the structural properties of quantum heterostructures by HREM. A simulation of atomistic type is used to construct a Fe/Ag bilayer few nm thick and the HREM image of this structure is calculated by using a standard dynamical diffraction method. The comparison of the two calculations indicates that the interfacial disorder spans few layers and can be resolved against the background of two well-registered lattices.
