Abstract:
Quantitative convergent beam electronic diffraction (QCBED) method is a powerful tool for the investigation of the atomic and electronic structure of crystals. In this work, a global optimization algorithm has been adopted and a new fitting manner has been suggested in our recently developed QCBED program. A study of the charge density distribution in intermetallics is demonstrated as an example. Using the QCBED method, an investigation of lattice distortion in oxides is attempted.

Diffraction
Diffraction is the change in the direction of travel experienced by an electromagnetic wave when it encounters a physical barrier whose dimensions are comparable to those of the wavelength of the light. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths about as long as the distance between neighboring...

X-ray Diffraction of Biological Samples
According to Bragg's law, when X-rays strike the sample positioned on a stage, the rays are scattered by the electron clouds around the sample atoms. The X-ray diffraction or scattering is caused by constructive interference of the X-ray waves that reflect off the internal crystal...
