DESCRIPTION:Dr. Lukáš Palatinus\nA crystallographer by education\, Dr. L
 ukáš Palatinus has for a long time been driving developments regarding c
 rystallographic software and diffraction methods\, with a particular focus
  on electron diffraction. Dr. Palatinus studied mineralogy and geochemistr
 y at Charles University in Prague. Since 2009\, he is the head of the grou
 p of electron crystallography at the Institute of Physics of the Czech Aca
 demy of Sciences in Prague\, which develops methods for crystal structure 
 analysis from electron diffraction data\, with a focus on structure refine
 ment from 3D electron diffraction tomography data using the dynamical diff
 raction theory.\n\n\nAbstract The lecture will be focused on the theory an
 d practice of 3D electron diffraction (3D ED) – a crystallographic techn
 ique allowing structure analysis from single submicrometric crystals. Born
  almost two decades ago\, this technique is now going through a phase of e
 xplosive development. Some eight years ago its general applicability and a
 chievable accuracy were still a matter of debate. Five years ago\, the fir
 st reports showing reliable localization of hydrogen atoms by 3D ED appear
 ed\, and refinements with figures of merit approaching those of X-ray diff
 raction became possible. Today\, observation of hydrogens and other struct
 ural details is considered routine\, and advanced applications like charge
  density analysis from 3D ED data are appearing. The lectures will give an
  overview of this development and they will be especially focused on the p
 ossibilities 3D ED offers today in literally all areas of structural cryst
 allography with examples from hydrated materials\, MOFs and complex organi
