= Electron diffraction
{wiki=Electron_diffraction}
Electron diffraction is a technique used to study the structural properties of materials at the atomic or molecular level by utilizing the wave-like behavior of electrons. When a beam of electrons interacts with a material, it can be scattered by the atoms in the material, producing a diffraction pattern. This phenomenon is based on the principles of wave-particle duality, which describes how particles like electrons can exhibit properties of both particles and waves.
