Application of electron microscopy and x-ray structural analysis for the determination of sizes of structural elements in nanocrystalline materials (Review)

  • Published:
Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

The possibilities of determining the sizes of structural elements in various nanocrystalline materials by electron microscopy and X-ray structural analysis are analyzed. It is shown that these sizes depend on the fine structure of the materials and the procedures used. At a modern level of systematic development, to qualitatively determine the size characteristics of nanostructured materials, an integrated study with the use of various methods is advisable.
