Multislice Manager

The multislice manager allows to slice orthogonal unit-cells into very thin slices in order to account for HOLZ effects. It generates the 3-dimensional projected potential of the unit cell and then project it slice by slice. The multislice manager is available as an tabbed panel in the HREM map panel of the multislicer. The 3-D potential is calculated with a spatial resolution in the third dimension identical to that used for calculating the projected potential. The selection of the number of sub-slices does not affect the sampling in the third direction that is always set to the maximum number of sub-slices that can be selected. A 3-D Fourier transform calculates the crystal potential, that is then sliced and projected. Slicing requires a large amount of RAM (1 GB useful...).

The wave plot selection panel allows to plot the diffracted beams after each sub-slices. The 2-D table permits the selection of the beam to plot.

The Frozen lattice pane (Fig. 2) allows to add a small random uncorrelated shift to the atoms position (Enable checkbox). This can help solve artifacts generated when the projected potential is generated using atom potential patches. The Bicubic checkbox is used by default when the projected potential result in patching atoms potentials.
