Purpose of the Study:

To present a novel, straightforward interpretation method for many-beam zone-axis dynamical electron diffraction patterns.
To address the phase problem in determining non-centrosymmetric two-dimensional crystal structures, especially those with heavy atoms.

Main Methods:

Development of a new interpretation technique for conventional dynamical electron diffraction patterns.
Consideration of implementation for weak multiple scattering and extension to strong dynamical effects.
Proposal of a method for acquiring high-resolution diffraction data despite specimen bending.
