Bragg's second law, which deserves to be more widely known, is recounted. The significance of Bragg's law in electron diffraction and microscopy is then discussed, with particular emphasis on differences between X-ray and electron diffraction. As an example of such differences, the critical voltage effect in electron diffraction is described. It is then shown that the lattice imaging of crystal...

The single crystals of the NLO material, L-Alaninium maleate were grown by using the submerged seed solution method. The identity of the crystal was confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystalline perfection was analyzed using high resolution X-ray diffraction and it was found that the crystalline perfection is quite good. The values of the laser damage threshold and the Vicker’s...

We describe the technical aspects of the in-situ X-ray diffraction of a protein crystal prepared by a nanodroplet-based crystallization method. We were able to obtain diffraction patterns from a crystal grown in a capillary without any manipulation. Especially in our experimental approach, the crystals that moved to the nanodroplet interface were fixed strongly enough to carry out X-ray diffr...

single crystal zno microrods are deposited on the surface of zn plate through corrosion of zn plate by h2o2, which is a green neutral reagent and easy to transform to h2o and o2. the structure and morphology of the obtained zno microrods were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem), transmission electron microscopy (tem) and electron diffraction. a thermodyn...

Upon guest CHCl3 release, the one-dimensional (1D) coordination polymer ·CHCl3 gives rise to a non-porous structure, , following a unit cell volume reduction of ca. 22%. Due to the considerable structural transformation, the single crystal does not maintain its integrity, and therefore the structure determination has been carried out by combining single crystal X-ray diffraction and ab initio X...

A synthetic route for the formation of 2-[bis(2-trifluoromethylphenyl)phosphinoylmethyl]pyridine N-oxide (1c) and 2-[bis(3,5-trifluoromethylphenyl)phosphinoylmethyl]pyridine N-oxide (1d) was developed and the new ligands characterized by spectroscopic methods and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. The coordination chemistry of 1c was examined with Yb(NO3)3 and the molecular structure of...

The full strain and stress tensor determination in a triaxially stressed single crystal using X-ray diffraction requires a series of lattice spacing measurements at different crystal orientations. This can be achieved using a tunable X-ray source. This article reports on a novel experimental procedure for single-shot full strain tensor determination using polychromatic synchrotron radiation wit...
