3D Electron Diffraction for Structure Analysis of Challenging Inorganic Materials

Abstract

3D electron diffraction (3DED) covers a large number of methods unified by a common goalstructure determination from electron diffraction experiments in a similar way as it is done by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The method was first introduced by Kolb et al. in 2007 [1], and since then it has acquired a number of different flavors [2]. 3DED has been used for solving a wide variety of crystal structures covering oxides, silicates, intermetallics, metal-organic frameworks, small organic molecule structures and proteins [3].
