Research interests
Scott's research interests centre around developing techniques for atomic resolution imaging of materials in (scanning) transmission electron microscopy.
Using theoretical modelling and numerical simulation to analyse the elastic and inelastic scattering behaviour of fast electrons moving through solids, Scott works closely with experimental collaborators to extract the maximum scientific information from experimental microscopy images.
Topics of current interest include:
- Using segmented and pixel detector geometries to form novel and useful imaging modes.
- Measuring the composition of materials at the nanoscale by using absolute-scale comparisons between experimental data and simulated images.
- Quantitative determination of atomic scale structure in thick (for electron microscopy, i.e. tens on nanometers) nanostructures.
