- Multislice

The multislice algorithm is a method for the simulation of the interaction of an electron beam with matter[1]. The algorithm is used in the simulation of high resolution Transmission electron microscopy images [2].
The multislice algorithm treats the electrons as incoming waves, and treats the interactions with matter as occurring on multiple single slices of the specimen. In this manner the interaction between specimen "layers" may be neglected and the calculation time reduced.
