Serial electron crystallography for structure determination and phase analysis of nanocrystalline materials

Serial crystallography using electron diffraction has been developed as a fully automated method for collecting electron diffraction data from a large number of crystals. It is demonstrated how the data can be used for structure determination and phase analysis.
