Electron crystallography is a scientific technique used to determine the atomic and molecular structures of crystalline materials using electron diffraction. This method takes advantage of the wave nature of electrons, which can provide high-resolution structural information about materials thanks to their short wavelengths compared to X-rays. The key aspects of electron crystallography include: 1. **Electron Diffraction**: When a beam of electrons is directed at a crystalline sample, the electrons are scattered by the atoms in the crystal lattice.
