abstract = {Off-axis electron holography is a powerful tool to measure
electrostatic and magnetic fields at the nanoscale inside a
transmission electron microscope. The electron wave that has
passed through a thin specimen can be recovered from an
electron hologram and the phase can be related to the
specimen thickness or the electrostatic potential in and
around the specimen. However, dynamical diffraction may
cause a deviation from the expected linear relationship
between phase and specimen thickness, which emphasizes the
need for comparisons with corresponding computer
simulations.Here, we study few-layer-thick two-dimensional
WSe2 flakes by off-axis electron holography. Voronoi
tessellation is used to spatially average the phase and
amplitude of the electron wavefunction within regions of
unit-cell size (see Fig. 1). A determination of specimen
thickness of the WSe2 is not possible from either the phase
or the amplitude alone. Instead, we show that the combined
analysis of phase and amplitude from experimental
measurements and simulations allows an accurate
determination of the local specimen thickness. Extremely
thin specimens that are tilted slightly away from the [001]
zone axis show an approximately linear relationship between
phase and projected potential. If the specimen thickness is
known, the electrostatic potential can be determined from
the measured phase.We used this combined approach to
determine a value for the mean inner potential of 18.9 ±
0.8 V for WSe2, which is approximately $10\%$ lower than the
value calculated from neutral atom scattering factors. In
this way, a comparison of high-resolution electron
holography data with simulations has been achieved on a
quantitative level, enabling an assessment of the
experimental conditions under which electrostatic potentials
can be extracted directly from the phases of measured
wavefunctions.The authors are grateful to L. Houben, M.
