Abstract

23 sets of space groups remain indistinguishable by the convergent-beam electron diffraction (CBED) method. Recently, Tsuda, Saitoh, Terauchi, Tanaka & Goodman [Acta Cryst. (2000), A56, 359-369] demonstrated that the coherent CBED method can distinguish two space-group pairs (I23, I213) and (I222, I212121) by observing the relative arrangements of 2-fold-rotation and 21-screw axes. The other ten space-group sets, which are composed of principal rotation and screw axes and other 2-fold-rotation axes such as P321 and P3121 (P3221), are shown to be distinguishable using the coherent CBED method.
