Ewald’s Sphere Ewald’s sphere is built for interpreting diffraction lkl=1/ Ewald circle C incident beam diffracted beam 2 kd H ki g G 130 0 CG-C0=0G or kd-ki=g Laue equation Wherever a reciprocal lattice point touches the circle, e.g., at G, Bragg's Law is obeyed and a diffracted beam will occur. At H, no diffraction.
Convergent Beam Electron Diffraction (CBED) CBED uses a conver- gent beam of elec- trons to limit area of specimen which con- tributes to diffraction pattern. Each spot in SAED then becomes a disc within which variations in intensity can be seen. CBED patterns contain a wealth of information about symmetry and thickness of specimen. Big advantage of CBED is that the information is generated from small regions beyond reach of other techniques.
