Modelling fine-sliced three dimensional electron diffraction data with dynamical Bloch-wave simulations
Recent interest in structure solution and refinement using electron diffraction (ED) has been fuelled by its inherent advantages when applied to crystals of sub-micrometre size, as well as its better sensitivity to light elements. Currently, data are often processed with software written for X-ray d...

description | Recent interest in structure solution and refinement using electron diffraction (ED) has been fuelled by its inherent advantages when applied to crystals of sub-micrometre size, as well as its better sensitivity to light elements. Currently, data are often processed with software written for X-ray diffraction, using the kinematic theory of diffraction to generate model intensities – despite the inherent differences in diffraction processes in ED. Here, dynamical Bloch-wave simulations are used to model continuous-rotation electron diffraction data, collected with a fine angular resolution (crystal orientations of ∼0.1°). This fine-sliced data allows a re-examination of the corrections applied to ED data. A new method is proposed for optimizing crystal orientation, and the angular range of the incident beam and the varying slew rate are taken into account. Observed integrated intensities are extracted and accurate comparisons are performed with simulations using rocking curves for a (110) lamella of silicon 185 nm thick. R (1) is reduced from 26% with the kinematic model to 6.8% using dynamical simulations. |
