Abstract:
The structural analysis of silica mesoporous crystals (SMCs) is a key step for understanding their properties, especially toward drug delivery. Although various techniques can be applied, electron crystallography has been proved the most powerful method in the structure solution of mesoporous materials. In this chapter, we will begin with introducing basic crystallography and extend to the 3D structure solution using a set of HRTEM images. Typical examples will also be given to show the structure features of 2D, 3D, cage-type, and hyperbolic surface-type mesostructures. A drug delivery system using SMCs as a reservoir will be given at the end.

Electronic Structure of Atoms
An atom comprises protons and neutrons, which are contained inside the dense, central core called the nucleus, with electrons present around the nucleus. Taking into account the wave–particle duality of electrons and the uncertainty in position around the nucleus, quantum mechanics provides a more accurate model for the atomic structure. It describes atomic orbitals as the regions around the nucleus where electrons of discrete energy exist, characterized by four quantum...
