Abstract

For perfect crystal, diffuse scattering is mostly inelastic due to phonons, plasmons and other processes. Thermal diffuse scattering or phonon scattering can lead to large effects in the electron diffraction pattern especially near second order phase transition where phonon softening occurs. Additionally, elastic diffuse scattering comes from structural deviations from a periodic lattice. These structural deviations can be defects, partial ordering of otherwise disordered structure or structural fluctuations. By studying diffuse scattering we can obtain information about the crystal imperfections and dynamics which can not be obtained from other characterization methods.
