摘要
Structures are the cornerstones of structure-function relationship research of materials.After more than a hundred years of development,single crystal X-ray diffraction(SC-XRD)becomes the most common method to determine structures of materials.Nevertheless,the weak interaction between X-ray and matter requires crystals to be larger than 5μm ×5μm × 5μm for normal SC-XRD diffractometer.Recent appearances of X-ray free electron lasers(XFEL)and micro-focused synchrotron beamlines allow SC-XRD data collection from micron-sized crystals,but access to these facilities is limited.The development of three-dimensional(3D)electron diffraction(ED)has provided a powerful tool for scientists to explore the microcosmos,extending the limit of the SC-XRD method[1].
三维电子衍射已逐渐成为人们探索微观世界的强有力的工具.本文中,我们展示了一种新的三维电子衍射数据收集方法,命名为连续旋转旋进电子衍射断层扫描(cPEDT),该方法是旋进电子衍射断层扫描(PEDT)与连续旋转电子衍射(cRED)的结合.使用cPEDT方法,可以避免PEDT方法中步进式过程引入的不必要的电子剂量,同时利用cPEDT收集到的数据也可以进行动力学精修从而确定材料的精确结构.该方法可以促进三维电子衍射在一些电子束敏感材料上的应用,如金属-有机框架(MOF)、共价有机框架(COF),以及一些有机物.
