Electron diffraction and electron microscopy
- Ute Kolb (Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz)
Naturally occurring single crystals of bixbyite, (Fe,Mn)2O3, from the Thomas Mountain Range in Utah, USA were studied via (scanning) transmission electron microscopy (S)TEM. With up to 5 cm edge length, these mineral specimens are the largest bixbyite crystals found worldwide. Their hexahedral shapes are often modified by {211} facets at the corners and small {211} truncations along their...
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) or porous coordination polymers (PCPs) are known for their versatile combination of inorganic building units and organic linkers, which offers immerse opportunities in a wide range of applications. Such applications are often designed by considering the inherent properties of MOFs, which in turn are governed by the crystal structures. Therefore, development of...
