Abstract:
Precession Electron Diffraction and Convergent-Beam Electron Diffraction are used in a complementary way to determine the space group of three known structures following the general method described in the first part of this paper. The selected structures concern a monoclinic example (coesite SiO(2) with space group C2/c) and two cubic examples (γ-Al(4)Cu(9) with space group P43[combining overline]m and pyrite FeS(2) with space group Pa3[combining overline]). For each case, a minimum number of zone axis patterns are used to determine the space group without ambiguity, which illustrates the simplicity and reliability of the method.
