1、Interaction of Radiations with Mattersthe probe to microstructures1Why?n nThe interaction of electromagnetic radiation with crystalline solids is now understood in considerable detail so that it can be exploited to provide the necessary information.To characterize a microstructure it is necessary to

2、 perturb the material by interacting in some way with it.2Examplesn nOne sees a matter only because the matter reflects visible light.n n X-ray and high energy electron beam could“see”crystal lattices.3The dilemman nInteraction of radiation with materials under probe may cause damage to or change th
