Electron crystallography has been used as the one of powerful tool for studying the structure of biological macromolecules at high resolution which is sufficient to provide details of intramolecular and intermolecular interactions at near-atomic level. Previously it commonly uses two-dimensional crystals that are periodic arrangement of biological molecules, however recent studies reported a novel technical approach to electron crystallography of three-dimensional crystals, called micro electron-diffraction (MicroED) which involves placing the irregular and small sized protein crystals in a transmission electron microscope to determine the atomic structure. In here, we review the advances in electron crystallography techniques with several recent studies. Furthermore, we discuss the future direction of this structural approach.

An electron beam microcolumn composed of an electron emitter, micro lenses, scan deflector, and focus lenses have been fabricated and tested in the STEM mode. In this paper, we report a technique of precisely aligning the electron lenses by the laser diffraction patterns instead of the conventional alignment method based on aligner and STM. STEM images of a standard Cu-grid were observed using a fabricated microcolumn under both the retarding and accelerating modes.

적층으로 구성되는 초소형 전자렌즈의 실리콘 렌즈와 절연체인 파이렉스는 접합과 정렬을 동시에 수행하여야 한다. 이를 위한 방법으로 회절을 이용한 정렬과 레이저 접합을 이용하였으며, source 렌즈와 Einzel 렌즈의 정렬오차는 가장 큰 개구를 기준으로 최대 $\pm$4% 이내에서 이루어졌다. 정렬 조건과 레이저 접합 조건을 제시하였으며, 접합을 견고히 하기 위한 양극 접합 방식을 기술하였다. 전류영상화를 통해 선폭이 9 $\mu$m인 Cu grid를 시험한 결과 완성된 전자렌즈는 감속모드보다 가속모드에서 분해능이 좋았으며, 작은 개구를 가진 렌즈의 정밀한 정렬과 조합으로 높은 분해능을 믿을 수 있었다.

(Sr1-xCax)CuO2 단결정을 융제법으로 제조하고 단결정 X-선 회절법을 이용하여 그 결정구조를 밝혔다. 이 화합물의 결정축계는 사방정계(orthorhombic system)이며, 공간군은 Cmcm(63), 그리고 격자상수 a, b, c는 각각 3.4645Å, 16.1417Å, 3.8727Å이었다. (Sr1-xCax)CuO2 화합물에서 Sr대신 치환되는 Ca이온의 한계를 구조적인 관점에서 연구하였다. 이를 위해 X-선 회절(CAD4), energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDAX) and electron probe micro-analysis (EPMA) 등을 사용하였다. Ca가 치환됨에 따른 Cu-O 결합길이의 변화로부터 Ca의 치환한계를 결정하였는데 그 한계치는 Xca≒0.73이었다.

Titanium carbide(TiC) films, known as having excellent characteristics of resistance to wear and corrosion, were deposited on SUS-304 sheets using HCD(Hollow Cathode Discharge) reactive ion plating with acetylene gas as the reactant gas. The characteristics of TiC films were examined by X-ray diffraction, micro-Vickers hardness tester, ${\alpha}$-step, SEM(Scanning Electron Spectroscopy), ESCA(Electron Spectroscopy for Chemical Analysis), and AES(Auger Electron Spectroscopy) and the results were discussed with regard to the changes of various deposition conditions(bias voltage, acetylene flow rate, temperature).

The optimum reaction conditions for the preparation of the precipitated calcium carbonate of an average particle size of 0.05.mu. in diameter was set in which the Box-Wilson Plan was applied. The reaction conditions are as follows; 1) concentration of milk of lime; 6.56% w/w 2) temperature; 14.24.deg. C #) velocity of carbon dioxide introducing; 1.95l/min. The crystal form was found that of calcite in X-ray diffraction analysis. The particle size was determined by the sedimentation volume measurement. The shape was identified by the elctron micro-diffraction pattern and the electron microscopic photographs.

In this work, various electron microscopy and analysis techniques were used to investigate the microstructural evolution of a 9% Cr tempered martensite ferritic (TMF) steel T91 upon ultrasonic nanocrystalline surface modification (UNSM) treatment. The micro-dimpled surface was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy. The characteristics of plastic deformation and gradient microstructure of the UNSM treated specimens were clearly revealed by crystal orientation mapping of electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), with flexible use of the inverse pole figure, image quality, and grain boundary misorientation images. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) observation of the specimens at different depths showed the formation of dislocations, dense dislocation walls, subgrains, and grains in the lower, middle, upper, and top layers of the treated specimens. Refinement of the $M_{23}C_6$ precipitates was also observed, the size and the number density of which were found to decrease as depth from the top surface decreased. The complex microstructure and microstructural evolution of the TMF steel samples upon the UNSM treatment were well-characterized by combined use of EBSD and TEM techniques.

Micro-pulling down$({\mu}-PD)$법을 이용하여 직경 $0.8{\sim}1.0mm$, 길이 $30{\sim}35mm$의 ZnO가 첨가된 near-stoichiometric $LiNbO_3$, 단결정을 성장하였다. 성장된 결정의 결정구조를 powder x-tay diffraction(XRD) patterns으로 확인하였고, electron probe micro analysis(EPMA)를 이용하여 결정내 Zn 이온들이 균일하게 분포되었음을 확인하였다. 또한 2 mol% 이상의 ZnO 첨가시 $OH^-$ 흡수밴드의 특성이 크게 변화함을 관찰함으로써 ZnO 첨가량에 일치한 역치(threshold)가 존재함을 확인하였다.

This paper presents the effect of silica fume and nano silica, used individually and in combination with the set accelerator and/or hydrated lime, on the properties of class F high volume ultra fine fly ash (HV-UFFA) cement composites, replacing 80 % of cement (OPC). Compressive strength test along with thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy were undertaken to study the effect of various elements on the physico-chemical behaviour of the blended composites. The results show that silica fume when used in combination with the set accelerator and hydrated lime in HV-UFFA cement mortar, improves its 7 and 28 day strength by 273 and 413 %, respectively, compared to the binary blended cement fly ash mortar. On the contrary, when nano silica is used in combination with set accelerator and hydrated lime in HV-UFFA cement mortar, the disjoining pressure in conjunction with the self-desiccation effect induces high early age micro cracking, resulting in hindering the development of compressive strength. However, when nano silica is used without the additives, it improves the 7 and 28 day strengths of HV-UFFA cement mortar by 918 and 567 %, respectively and the compressive strengths are comparable to that of OPC.
