In this paper, we propose a new method for static mesoscale sample diagnosis using three-dimensional radiography with high-energy electron radiography (HEER). The principle of three-dimensional high-energy electron radiography (TDHEER) is elucidated, and the feasibility of this method is confirmed by start-to-end simulation results. TDHEER is realized by combining HEER with the three-dimensional reconstruction method, by which more information about the samples can be attained, especially regarding the samples’ internal structures. With our study, the internal structures and the three-dimensional positions of the spherical sample are determined with a ~3 μm resolution. We believe that this new method enhances the HEER diagnostic capability and extends its application potential in mesoscale sciences.

In recent years there has been a trend in the structure determination of reconstructed surfaces to use high energy electron diffraction techniques, and to employ a kinematic approximation in analyzing the intensities of surface superlattice reflections. Experimentally this is motivated by the great success of the determination of the dimer adatom stacking fault (DAS) structure of the Si(111) 7 × 7 reconstructed surface.While in the case of transmission electron diffraction (TED) the validity of the kinematic approximation has been examined by using multislice calculations for Si and certain incident beam directions, far less has been done in the reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED) case. In this paper we aim to provide a thorough Bloch wave analysis of the various diffraction processes involved, and to set criteria on the validity for the kinematic analysis of the intensities of the surface superlattice reflections.The validity of the kinematic analysis, being common to both the TED and RHEED case, relies primarily on two underlying observations, namely (l)the surface superlattice scattering in the selvedge is kinematically dominating, and (2)the superlattice diffracted beams are uncoupled from the fundamental diffracted beams within the bulk.
