Electron diffraction Inelastic scattered electrons Elastic scattered electrons Direction and magnitude of v change.

Electron diffraction Inelastic scattered electrons Elastic scattered electrons Direction and magnitude of v change. Only the direction of v is changing. (Bragg scattering) Elastic scattering is due to Coulomb interaction between the incident electrons and the electric charge of the electron clouds and the nucleus. (Rutherford scattering). The elastic scattering is due to the average position of the atoms in the lattice. Energy is transferred to electrons and atoms in the sample. -It is due to the movements of the atoms around their average position in the lattice. - It give rise to a diffuse background in the diffraction patterns. Reflections satisfying Braggs law: 2 dsinθ=nλ Electrons interacts 100 -1000 times stronger with matter than X-rays -more absorption (need thin samples) -can detect weak reflections not observed with x-rays A.
