Electron crystallography

Electron crystallography is a topic in the intersection between electron microscopy and crystallography. It can be defined as the study of crystals by electrons, but may also include studies of non-crystalline objects, such as grain boundaries, surfaces and defects or individual particles.

Textbook on electron crystallography by Xiaodong Zou, Sven Hovmöller and Peter Oleynikov

At our department, MMK, we have specialized on developing and applying new methods for crystal structure determination by electrons. This includes both analysis of high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) images and quantitative analysis of electron diffraction (ED) patterns.

You can find papers on electron crystallography published by Sven Hovmöller and Xiaodong Zou.
