Determination of Crystal Structures

104
In the late 1800s, the revelation that light extended beyond visible wavelengths led to the discovery of X-rays by Wilhelm Roentgen. Recognized as high-energy electromagnetic radiation with short wavelengths, X-rays prompted exploration into their interaction with crystals. Max von Laue proposed in 1912 that the periodic arrangement of atoms, ions, or molecules in crystals would cause them to diffract X-rays, a hypothesis confirmed through experiments with copper sulfate and zinc sulfide...

X-ray Crystallography

26.9K
The size of the unit cell and the arrangement of atoms in a crystal may be determined from measurements of the diffraction of X-rays by the crystal, termed X-ray crystallography.
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

5.2K
X-ray diffraction or XRD is an analytical tool that utilizes X-rays to study ordered structures such as crystalline organic and inorganic samples, polycrystalline materials, proteins, carbohydrates, and drugs.
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...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Solid State Physics
  • Electron Microscopy

Background:

  • The conventional multislice method (CMS) is widely used for dynamical electron diffraction simulations.
  • The revised real space (RRS) method offers higher accuracy for low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) but was limited to orthogonal crystal systems.
  • Accurate simulations are crucial for understanding material structures at the nanoscale.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To derive and validate the revised real space (RRS) method for non-orthogonal crystal systems.
  • To compare the accuracy of RRS and CMS methods for non-orthogonal crystals across a range of accelerating voltages.
  • To elucidate the impact of accelerating voltage on the discrepancies between RRS and CMS simulations.

Main Methods:

  • Derived the mathematical expression for the RRS method applicable to non-orthogonal crystal systems.
  • Validated the derived RRS formula using Na2Ti3O7 and Si crystals by verifying Schrödinger's equation.
  • Compared RRS and CMS simulation results for non-orthogonal crystals at accelerating voltages from 10 kV to 40 kV.

Main Results:

  • The RRS method was successfully extended to non-orthogonal crystal systems.
  • CMS and RRS methods show similar results for accelerating voltages above 40 kV.
  • At accelerating voltages of 20 kV and below, CMS introduces significant errors in both zero-order and higher-order Laue zones for non-orthogonal crystals.

Conclusions:

  • The RRS method is necessary for accurate dynamical electron diffraction simulations in non-orthogonal crystal systems, especially at low accelerating voltages.
  • The accuracy difference between RRS and CMS increases as accelerating voltage decreases.
  • This work expands the applicability of RRS, enhancing its utility in advanced electron microscopy techniques.
