Selected-area diffraction by JEOL by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-20 Updated 2026-11-05
Official glossary entry and imaging-lens-system diagram: area selection in the objective image plane and imaging of the diffraction plane.
The research distinguishes local magnetic-electrode signals from nonlocal spin accumulation using multi-terminal lateral metal devices. The arXiv preprint was submitted in 2002; the journal article is Physical Review B 67, 085319 (2003).
Scientific background for the 2007 Physics Nobel Prize. Spin-dependent conduction, exchange bias and magnetic read-head applications. Used for mechanism context, not as an official exam answer.
Physical Review Letters 60, 848–850. Full title: Quantized conductance of point contacts in a two-dimensional electron gas. Gate-controlled GaAs-AlGaAs ballistic point contacts show conductance steps from transverse quantization.
Full title: Giant room-temperature magnetoresistance in single-crystal Fe/MgO/Fe magnetic tunnel junctions. Nature Materials 3, 868–871, DOI 10.1038/nmat1257. A primary demonstration supporting the tunnel-junction alternative, without claiming that a larger magnetoresistance alone guarantees lower sensor noise.

Printed p.7 explains magnification as display width divided by probe scan width. The raster-display geometry is useful in scanned transmitted-electron imaging too; the SEM detector mechanisms are not silently substituted for STEM detectors.

Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project

Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
We have two killer features:
  1. topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculus
    Articles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
    • a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
    • a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
    This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.

  2. local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:
    This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.
    Figure 5. . You can also edit articles on the Web editor without installing anything locally.

  4. Infinitely deep tables of contents:
