electron diffraction

What Types of Electron Diffraction are Used in Catalysis?

Two primary types of electron diffraction techniques are commonly used in catalysis research: Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Low Energy Electron Diffraction (LEED).
TEM: In TEM, a high-energy electron beam is transmitted through a thin sample. The electrons interact with the sample, producing a diffraction pattern that can be analyzed to determine the material's internal structure.
LEED: LEED involves directing a low-energy electron beam at the surface of a sample. The reflected electrons form a diffraction pattern that provides information about the surface structure and atomic arrangement.
