Precession electron diffraction

Precession Electron Diffraction (PED) is a technique used in electron microscopy to enhance the quality of diffraction data obtained from crystalline materials. It involves the precession of the electron beam around a predetermined axis while the electron diffraction pattern is recorded. Key features of Precession Electron Diffraction include: 1. **Beam Precession**: Instead of maintaining a static electron beam, the beam is rotated or precessed at a specific angle relative to the sample.
