Crystallography and quantum mechanics have always been tightly connected because
reliable quantum mechanical models are needed to determine crystal structures. Due to this …

Rational material design requires a deep understanding about the relationship between the
structure and properties of materials, which are both intimately related to their chemical …

This article begins with pure aluminum and a discussion of the form of the crystal structure
and different unit cells that can be used to describe it. Measurements of the face-centered …

This encyclopedia, written by authoritative experts under the guidance of an international
panel of key researchers from academia, national laboratories, and industry, is a …

This paper reviews the convergent-beam electron diffraction (CBED) technique. Point-and
space-group determination methods of ordinary crystals are described, along with an …

This review summarizes the recent progress in experimental determination of electron
densities in inorganic crystals and its contribution to our understanding of bonding and …

Atom positions and anisotropic Debye–Waller factors of the rhombohedral phase of LaCrO3
have been refined simultaneously with the low-order structure factors, using a structure …

In this SpringerBrief in crystallography, we will not treat the fundamentals of crystallography
or quantum mechanics. For that purpose, the reader is invited to consult general-purpose …

A nanoscale structure analysis method using convergent-beam electron diffraction (CBED)
has been applied to an orbital-ordered state of Fe 2+ 3 d electrons in a spinel oxide FeCr 2 …

The technique of quantitative convergent-beam electron diffraction (QCBED) is reviewed as
a method for making very accurate and precise measurements of low-order bonding …
