Abstract

Abstract : Electron diffraction tomography, a potential method for structure analysis of nanocrystals, and, in more detail, the strategies to use automated diffraction tomography (ADT) technique are described. Examples of ADT application are discussed according to the material class. Abstract : Electron diffraction tomography (EDT) has gained increasing interest, starting with the development of automated electron diffraction tomography (ADT) which enables the collection of three‐dimensional electron diffraction data from nano‐sized crystals suitable for ab initio structure analysis. A basic description of the ADT method, nowadays recognized as a reliable and established method, as well as its special features and general applicability to different transmission electron microscopes is provided. In addition, the usability of ADT for crystal structure analysis of single nano‐sized crystals with and without special crystallographic features, such as twinning, modulations and disorder is demonstrated.
