Selected area (electron) diffraction (abbreviated as SAD or SAED) is a crystallographic experimental technique typically performed using a transmission electron microscope (TEM).

Selected area electron diffraction (SAED) is one of the most common techniques for acquiring two-dimensional (2D) electron diffraction patterns. A selected area aperture, which is located at the imaging plane below the sample, is typically used to …

Both selected area electron diffraction (SAED) and XRD signals originate from the crystal structure of the material being investigated. Accordingly, they are related to each other.

TEM is useful for imaging the bulk structure, allowing better observations of crystal defects. Contrast in the image is produced by the scattering of electrons due to their interaction with atoms in the sample.

In this three-part series of articles, I will go through my procedures for collecting, recording, and analyzing selected area electron diffraction (SAED) images in the TEM to assure that the data are reliable and presentable.

The SAED could show you a pattern of rings (from polycrystals) or a spots pattern (from simgle crystals). In powder XRD you observe rings integrated in every peak and in single crystals …

In the early days of TEM, it was most common to select an area of the sample from which to record the diffraction pattern by use of an aperture positioned below the sample in a typical TEM, at an intermediate image plane. This is known as selected area diffraction (SAD).

The achievement of this work is that fine tuning of experimental and evaluation parameters can improve the absolute accuracy and reproducibility of selected area electron diffraction (SAED) to 0.1% without using internal standard.
