Wavelength of electron

Because of the much shorter wavelength of electron beams, the Ewald sphere becomes practically planar in electron diffraction, and diffraction spots are expected in this case which would only appear in X-ray diffraction if the specimen were rotated. 

One of the basic features of high-energy ED is the short wavelength of electrons used 0.05 A (accelerating voltage lOOkV). Therefore Ewald s sphere practically degenerates into a plane, and the electron diffraction pattern (ED) is the planar cross-section of the reciprocal lattice (Fig.2.). 

There are numerous needs for precise atomic data, particularly in the ultraviolet region, in heavy and highly ionized systems. These data include energy levels, wavelengths of electronic transitions, their oscillator strengths and transition probabilities, lifetimes of excited states, line shapes, etc. [278].

Figure 2.11 Formation of a single crystal diffraction pattern in transmission electron microscopy. The short wavelength of electrons makes the Ewald sphere flat. Thus, the array of reciprocal lattice points in a reciprocal plane touches the sphere surface and generates a diffraction pattern on the TEM screen. The outer ring may be visible when the Ewald sphere surface touches the reciprocal plane above the original plane.

The wavelength of electrons (k) for 200 kV, which is used to obtain the pattern, should be 0.00251 nm according to Table 3.2. The diffraction photograph is taken at the camera length (L) of 1.0 m. Since the lattice parameter of NaCl (a) is 0.563 nm, we can find out that the Rm matches that of 200 and R matches that of 220, according Equation 3.18. Then, we should check whether the angle (RmRn) matches that between specific planes. The plane angle in a... 

Generally, the wavelength of electrons (k) and the acceleration voltage (V0) has a relationship given by k a 1 / f%. Do the values in Table 3.2 satisfy the relationship exactly Show the relationships between k and V in Table 3.2 and compare them with values obtained from this relationship.
