Multipole analysis of the electron density and electrostatic potential in germanium by high-resolution electron diffraction Original Research Article

Accurate electron structure factors measured by significantly improved transmission electron diffraction technique were used in a high-resolution quantitative study of the electron density and electrostatic potential in Ge polycrystalline sample. The parameters of the multipole model adapted for electron diffraction were found and topological features of the electron density and electrostatic potential were determined with this model.
