A new package has been developed to determine unit-cell parameters from a single electron diffraction pattern in TEM, expanding the application range of existing electron diffraction techniques. By reconstructing a reciprocal primitive cell, converting it to a Niggli cell, and finally determining the unit cell parameters, the software addresses the impact of experimental conditions on accuracy.
Electron diffraction techniques in transmission electron microscopy (TEM) have been successfully employed for determining the unit-cell parameters of crystal phases, albeit they exhibit a limited accuracy compared with X-ray or neutron diffraction, and they often involve a tedious measurement procedure. Here, a new package for determining unit-cell parameters from a single electron diffraction pattern has been developed. The essence of the package is to reconstruct a 3D reciprocal primitive cell from a single electron diffraction pattern containing both zero-order Laue zone and high-order Laue zone reflections. Subsequently, the primitive cell can be reduced to the Niggli cell which, in turn, can be converted into the unit cell. Using both simulated and experimental patterns, we detail the working procedure and address some effects of experimental conditions (diffraction distortions, misorientation of the zone axis and the use of high-index zone axis) on the robustness and accuracy of the software developed. The feasibility of unit-cell determination of the TiO2 nanorod using this package is also demonstrated. Should the parallel-beam, nano-beam and convergent-beam modes of the TEM be used flexibly, the software can determine unit-cell parameters of unknown-structure crystallites (typically >50 nm).
