Electron Diffraction
Electron diffraction is a powerful analytical technique used to investigate the atomic and crystalline structure of materials. By directing a beam of electrons onto a thin sample and analyzing the resulting diffraction pattern, researchers can determine crystal symmetry, lattice spacing, and defects with exceptional precision.
At its core, electron diffraction leverages the wave nature of electrons, making it an essential tool in materials science, solid-state physics, nanotechnology, and chemistry. It provides structural information at the nanoscale—far beyond the limits of optical methods.
