From the Rietveld analysis it was shown that the nanowires had a monoclinic structure of the space group C2/M and the lattice parameters were a=1.5582 nm, 6=0.382 nm, c=0.9112 nm. HRTEM conclusions agree with refinement results obtained from experimental XRD data. The good agreement between the experimental and simulated images confirms that the nanowires is indeed K_2Ti_6O_13 nanowire.The growth axes of nanowires were mainly along the [010] direction.展开更多

Coincidence of the simulations by these two methods was achieved. The calculated results showed that the exit wave function highly dominated by zero order Laue zone, while high order ones modify the exit wave function to some extent depending on the situation. High order Laue zone effects become important for the following cases: sample consists of light elements, the thickness is very thin, lattice planar spacing perpendicular to the direction of the incident beam is large, and the electron beam has long wavelength. In these cases the exit wave function should be corrected by adding high order Laue zone effects. The analytical expression is effective and convenient for dealing with high order Laue zone effects.展开更多
