kSA RHEEDSim, the innovative new RHEED simulation software from k-Space, is now available for both labs and classrooms.
According to k-Space CEO, Darryl Barlett, “almost immediately after launching kSA RHEEDSim, we heard from many of our customers asking for a version to support both their research teams and students.”
kSA RHEEDSim for Labs supports up to 6 simultaneous users. kSA RHEEDSim for Classrooms supports up to 50 simultaneous users.
kSA RHEEDSim is also available as a fully integrated software add-on with kSA 400, the world’s leading analytical RHEED system.
The Power of RHEED at Your Fingertips
With kSA RHEEDSim, simply click to select the crystal surface and your experimental parameters. The software renders the predicted pattern based on a kinematic, single scattering electron beam diffraction model.
kSA RHEEDSim can simulate any crystal surface that can be defined by a periodic 2D surface lattice. Simulation possibilities range from basic simulated RHEED patterns of common structures, to complex patterns produced by reconstructions or complex surfaces, to dynamic simulations of changing phenomena. This makes kSA RHEEDSim a great resource for researchers and a fantastic teaching tool for students.

And with kSA 400, the world’s leading analytical RHEED system, it’s easy to compare your own experimental RHEED patterns with the simulated RHEED patterns, and to track the behavior of RHEED under changing conditions.
Powered by Experience
From our start in 1992, k-Space has been the leader in tools for RHEED analysis. kSA RHEEDSim is part of our ongoing commitment to help you advance your research using RHEED.
Additional feature highlights of kSA RHEEDSim:
- Visualize the 2D surface structure relative to the incident electron beam. See it update live as parameters are changed.
- Visualize the 3D crystal structure for predefined or generated presets.
- Define new surfaces to simulate from bulk crystal data loaded from CIF files or generated manually.
- Overlay your simulation output with other RHEED image data.
- Approximate the effect of surface reconstruction.
