Gas-Phase Electron Diffraction

  • Chapter
Strength from Weakness: Structural Consequences of Weak Interactions in Molecules, Supermolecules, and Crystals

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series ((NAII,volume 68))

Abstract

When a beam of fast electrons hits a set of randomly oriented molecules, the electrons are deflected by the charge distribution of the molecules. The resulting diffraction pattern contains information on the relative positions of the atoms within the molecules, and also on intramolecular motions.
