Using Convergent-Beam Techniques

Abstract

In the preceding chapter, we described how to obtain a variety of CBED patterns under various experimental conditions. In this chapter you will find out why these patterns are so useful: they contain a wealth of quantitative data, much of which you can't obtain by any other technique and many of which augment standard X-ray crystallographic methods (but always at higher spatial resolution). The established techniques largely depend on simple observation of the patterns whereas newer techniques involve quantitative simulations of the patterns.
