Early Days of Electron Diffraction

Year: 2012

Type: article

Abstract: This year marks the eighty-fifth anniversary of the discovery of electron diffraction. In addition to its important role in materials characterization, electron diffraction contributed substantially to several Nobel Prizes, to foundations of quantum mechanics, and to the development of the theory of covalent bonding in organic chemistry. What follows is a personal narrative describing the development of this technique.
