Abstract

Convergent-beam diffraction in the transmission electron microscope is a powerful technique for the characterization of crystalline materials. Examples are presented to show the way in which convergent-beam zone-axis patterns can be used to determine: the unit cell; the symmetry; the strain of a crystal. The patterns are also recognizable and so can be used, like fingerprints, to identify phases.
