Abstract

The addition of a Gatan imaging parallel electron-energy loss spectrometer (IPEELS) to a Hitachi HF 2000 cold field emission TEM has allowed us to produce high quality energy-filtered coherent electron diffraction patterns and electron holograms from a wide variety of materials. In this paper we review the recent achievements and make an assessment of the use of coherent electron diffraction in solving problems at high spatial resolution in materials science.
