Mapping Electron Beam-Induced Radiolytic Damage in Molecular Crystals
Source abstract
Abstract
Every electron crystallography experiment is fundamentally constrained by radiation damage [1]. Despite its crucial importance, little is understood about the onset and progression of radiolysis in beam-sensitive molecular crystals [2]. Since the typical metric used for monitoring the degradation induced by radiolysis is the attenuation of Bragg reflections in electron diffraction patterns [3], the scope of previous analyses [2-6] has mostly been limited to indirect observation via the back focal plane. Here, a simultaneous visualization of the effects of electron beam-induced radiolysis—in both real space and reciprocal space—remains elusive.
