Abstract

The ability of electron diffraction to determine the structure of non-crystalline materials has been critically revised on the basis of the main sources of error: the premature temination of the experimental intensity curve and the problems associated with the elimination of the inelastically scattered intensity. A method of studying the problem is presented and the efficacy of the most representative procedures for reducing errors in the final correlation functions is checked.
