SAED Calculations with Reference Material Matching

Description

SAED Calculations with Reference Material Matching

You have synthesized your material and want to know whether the images seen in TEM are exactly your synthesized material or an impurity. If two types of material are present in one sample, you want to know which structure corresponds to which material. We will analyze your SAED (Selected Area Electron Diffraction) patterns and, after calculations, match your data with reference materials to determine whether the material shown in the SAED patterns is your material or something else.

File Upload Guidelines

• High-resolution SAED images in TIFF, PNG, or JPEG format (uncompressed preferred).
• Raw diffraction pattern files or original camera output when available.
• Scale bar or calibration details (camera length, pixel size or calibration factor).
• TEM operating conditions (accelerating voltage and any imaging parameters).
• Sample information (composition, synthesis method, and note if multiple phases are suspected).
• Any known or expected reference phases, space group information, or CIF files if available.

What You Will Get

• Calculated d values: Precise d-spacing values extracted from your SAED patterns.
• Reference match: Matched reference material details with identification of phases present and match confidence.
• Publication-ready SAED image: Edited SAED image suitable for direct use in international publications.
• Indexing and phase assignment: Clear indexing of diffraction rings/spots indicating which structure corresponds to which material.
• Summary report: A concise report describing methods, calculations, and matching criteria.
