It is interesting to note that for the diamond type structure of Si, Ge and diamond, the forbidden {200} reflections in the exact <100> orientation diffraction pattern cannot be seen. In contrast, we also note a standing controversy over the structure of the MgAl2O4, spinel. Its structure was determined long ago by x-ray powder method as Fd3m (the diamond type). However, its electron diffraction pattern taken in the <100> orientation shows weak {200} reflections, which are taken as evidence that the spinel should have the space group F43m (the blende type), rather than Fd3m. Others speculate that these {200} reflections result from the high order Laue zone (HOLZ) reflections, and the spinel should be Fd3m. Nevertheless, still others think that these analyses are not conclusive. We have carefully studied the space group of TiBe2 using the convergent beam electron diffraction technique, and unambiguously demonstrated that its space group must be Fd3m.

The advantages of quantitative Convergent Beam Electron Diffraction (CBED) method for x-ray structure factor determination have been reviewed by Spence. The CBED method requires accurate values of Debye-Waller (D-W) factors for the estimation of the coefficients of crystal potential of the higher order beams, Vg, the calculation of the absorption potential, V′g using the Einstein model for phonons, and finally the conversion of the fitted values of the coefficients of crystal potential, V″, to x-ray structure factors. Debye-Waller factors are conventionally determined by neutron or x-ray diffraction methods. Because of the difficulties in conducting high temperature neutron and x-ray diffraction experiments, D-W factors are rarely measured at temperatures above room temperature. Debye-Waller factors at high temperatures can be determined by Convergent Beam Electron diffraction (CBED) method using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) employed with a hot stage attachment. Recently Holmestad et al. have attempted to measure the D-W factors by matching the energy-filtered Higher Order Laue Zone (HOLZ) line intensities near liquid nitrogen temperature.

AbstractWith X-ray diffraction techniques, it is possible to routinely measure lattice parameters to several parts in 104 for macroscopic specimens. However, measurements of lattice parameter changes for quaternary (InGaAsP) device structures several microns in width are not usually feasible with X-ray diffraction techniques. Convergent Beam Electron Diffraction (CBED), which is one of the techniques available on a modern transmission electron microscope (TEM), may be sensitive to these small, localized lattice parameter changes. Unfortunately, dynamical diffraction effects prevent direct extraction of changes in the lattice parameter from CBED patterns which are obtained from high atomic number materials. For this reason, we have chosen to calibrate the relative position of CBED features with X-ray lattice parameter measurements which were obtained from planar quaternary layers grown on InP substrates. For the active quaternary region of an electro-optical device structure, it is shown that this approach may be sensitive to a relative change in the lattice parameter as small as ±2 parts in 104, which is the uncertainty in the X-ray calibration measurements.
