Electron Diffraction Reveals Partial Charges

Originally Published 4 months ago — by Nature

The article introduces iSFAC modelling, an innovative experimental method using 3D electron diffraction to determine absolute partial charges of atoms in molecules, applicable across various chemical classes. It enhances understanding of chemical bonds by capturing the influence of the chemical environment, aligns well with quantum-mechanical calculations, and offers insights into molecular interactions and properties, even in inorganic structures like zeolites.

Decoding the Mystery of Diffuse Intensities in fcc Electron Diffraction Patterns

Originally Published 2 years ago — by Nature.com

Researchers have investigated the origin of diffuse intensities in face-centered cubic (fcc) electron diffraction patterns. They conducted diffraction experiments and calculations to understand the role of short-range order in the formation of these intensities. The study provides insights into the structural characteristics of fcc materials and contributes to the field of materials science.
