ADF image Distortion

Figure Example ADF image of PbZr0.2Ti0.8O3 and a corresponding \(e_{xx}\) distortion map.

Strain++ is an open source program used to measure strain from high resolution transmission <script type="math/tex">test</script> electron microscope (TEM) images. Strain is measured using the geometric phase analysis (GPA) algorithm as detailed in Martin Hÿtch’s paper:

Hÿtch, M. J., Snoeck, E. & Kilaas, R. Quantitative measurement of displacement and strain fields from HREM micrographs. Ultramicroscopy 74, 131–146 (1998)

GPA is a Fourier space technique and is therefore more robust to noise than real space techniques, making it a great tool for quick and easy strain analysis.
