What Does CBED Stand For?

CBED stands for Convergent Beam Electron Diffraction

CBED, or Convergent Beam Electron Diffraction, is an advanced microscopy technique that utilizes a convergent beam of electrons to probe the structural and crystallographic properties of materials at the nanoscale. By focusing a beam of electrons onto a sample, CBED generates detailed diffraction patterns that provide insights into the symmetry, orientation, and phase of crystalline structures. This method is particularly valuable in materials science and nanotechnology for analyzing complex structures, identifying defects, and determining local atomic arrangements with high spatial resolution.
