Abstract:
A computer program for simulation of polycrystalline electron diffraction pattern and phase identification is described. In addition to simulating electron diffraction pattern for a single phase, the program has the ability to model two phases with selected mass ratio. Experimental polycrystalline electron diffraction patterns can be directly compared to simulated patterns for phase identification. Examples of how to use the program are also given.

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...
