INDUSTRY/UNIVERSITY COOPERATIVE RESEARCH: Studies of Subnanometer Crystalline Regions Using Coherent Electron Microdiffraction

计算机硬件和灵敏的电子阵列探测器的最新技术进步使得检查极小体积材料的结构成为可能。用常规方法无法获得关于这些体积的明确结构资料。本研究将开发利用先进设备测定纳米尺寸区域结构的技术。此外，必要时还将从这些区域对电子衍射理论进行修正。这项研究将由亚利桑那州立大学和埃克森化学公司合作进行。

Recent technical advances in computer hardware and sensitive electron array detectors have made it possible to examine the structure of extremely small volumes of material. Unequivocal structural information on such volumes cannot be obtained by conventional means. This research will develop techniques for the determination of the structure of nanometer size regions using advanced equipment. In addition modifications to the theory of electron diffraction from such regions will be developed as necessary. The research will be conducted cooperatively between Arizona State University and Exxon Chemical Company.
