sn02 nanowires with diameters of 30 — 200 nm have been synthesized by using carbothermalprocess via a thick film of tin dioxide and carbon powder precursor. the nanowires werecharacterized by x-ray power diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem),transmission electron microscopy (tem) and selected area electron diffraction (saed).the gas sensing characteristic of nanowires toward eth...

Precession electron diffraction (PED) is a hollow cone non-stationary illumination technique for electron diffraction pattern collection under quasikinematical conditions (as in X-ray Diffraction), which enables “ab-initio” solving of crystalline structures of nanocrystals. The PED technique is recently used in TEM instruments of voltages 100 to 300 kV to turn them into true electron diffractom...

Electron diffraction offers advantages over X-ray based methods for crystal structure determination because it can be applied to sub-micron sized crystallites, and picogram quantities of material. For molecular organic species, however, crystal structure determination with electron diffraction is hindered by rapid crystal deterioration in the electron beam, limiting the amount of diffraction da...

Single-shot ultrafast electron diffraction (UED) was introduced as a viable way to measure ultrafast processes, such as structural transitions in materials. For UED, the dynamics in a sample are induced by a femtosecond laser pulse and ultrashort electron bunches are used to probe the ultrafast processes in the sample. The ultracold charged particle cloud (UCPC) source researched in this work i...
