Phase Identification by Rotation Electron Diffraction from Multiphasic Samples

NIST/Sandia/ICDD Electron Diffraction Database: A Database for Phase Identification by Electron Diffraction

A new database containing crystallographic and chemical information designed especially for application to electron diffraction search/match and related problems has been developed. The new database was derived from two well-established x-ray diffraction databases, the JCPDS Powder Diffraction File and NBS CRYSTAL DATA, and incorporates 2 years of experience with an earlier version. It contains...

Practical phase identification by convergent beam electron diffraction.

The purpose of this article is to present a practical guide to the identification of phases in the analytical electron microscope with the aid of convergent beam electron diffraction. There is included a step-by-step approach to phase analysis, from the possible choices of the form of the specimen through how to explore reciprocal space in order to perform a full phase identification, either by...

Possibilities and Limits of Phase Identification by Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) in the SEM

Gas-phase electron diffraction from laser-aligned molecules

Electron diffraction is a valuable tool to capture structural information from molecules in the gas phase. However, the information contained in the diffraction patterns is limited due to the random orientation of the molecules. Additional structural information can be retrieved if the molecules are aligned. Molecules can be impulsively aligned with femtosecond laser pulses, producing a transie...

Electron Diffraction Electron Diffraction

This guide sheet outlines a method for the analysis of cubic crystal forms, this being useful to you for interpreting the transmission diffraction pattern produced by scattering electrons off a thin film target of polycrystalline aluminium. The apparatus also contains samples with hexagonal structures. These are pyrolytic graphite targets, and are available both as single crystals and in polycr...
