crystal structure

"Crystal" is an object in which a unit composed of atoms and molecules is periodically arranged. The unit is called a unit cell. If we know the atomic arrangement in the unit cell, we obtain the entire knowledge of the crystal. The arrangement of atoms and molecules in the unit cell is called "crystal structure." In TEM, convergent-beam electron diffraction (CBED) is used for the detailed analysis of the crystal structure.
