What are the Analytical Techniques for Measuring Lattice Strain?
Several analytical techniques can be employed to measure lattice strain in catalytic materials. X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a widely used method that can provide information about the lattice parameters and the degree of strain. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) offers high-resolution images of the lattice structure, allowing for direct observation of strain effects. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) can also be used to study the surface morphology and strain at the atomic level.
