Electron diffraction conditions of a crystal containing planar defects. The electron beam follows the crystalline direction u. The diffraction spots are the vectors g of the reciprocal lattice that intersect the Ewald sphere; they are given by the condition u· g = 0 (zero-order Laue zone). The vectors g of higher-order Laue zones u· g = n are not in diffraction condition but, in the presence of planar defects, they can be degenerated along the direction s normal to the defect plane and the vectors g + ks with k ∈ [−1, 1] intersect the Ewald sphere when (g + ks) = 0. |
