Abstract

Splitting of HOLZ lines on CBED patterns is systematically observed at the proximity of interfaces and prevents local strain measurements by monitoring of line shifts. It was previously suggested that such splitting occurs due to interface-strain relaxation in thin TEM lamella. Here we confirm this model by dynamical simulation of CBED patterns using the multislice algorithm.
