Title: The application of maximum entropy to Z-contrast imaging in a stem

Abstract

Maximum entropy (Gull and Skilling, IEE Proceedings, 131F, 646 (1984)) is an image processing routine based on Bauesian probability which can produce a ``most likely`` image from original data given a particular point spread function. By combining maximum entropy and analysis with incoherent Z-contrast imaging, it is possible to retrieve crystal lattice information at atomic resolution from directly acquired experimental data without the need for preconceived structures. Results are given for simulated and experimentally acquired Z-contrast images of semiconductors (graded SiGe, <110> Si, <110> GaAs) at 300 kV.
