The diffraction patterns of crystalline materials with local order containsharp Bragg reflections as well as highly structured diffuse scattering. Theinstrumental requirements, experimental parameters and data processingtechniques for obtaining high-quality diffuse scattering data have previouslybeen determined for X-ray and neutron diffraction, but not yet for electrondiffraction. In this study, we show that the spatial resolution of the diffusescattering in three-dimensional electron diffraction (3D ED) data depends onvarious effects, including the convergence of the electron beam, the pointspread function of the detector and the crystal mosaicity. In contrast tosingle-crystal X-ray diffraction, the detector point spread function for 3D EDis broader for a hybrid pixel detector than for a CCD. In our study, we alsocompare the diffuse scattering in 3D ED data with the diffuse scattering insingle-crystal X-ray diffraction data and show that the diffuse scattering in3D ED data can be obtained with a quality comparable to that fromsingle-crystal X-ray diffraction. As electron diffraction requires much smallercrystal sizes than X-ray diffraction, this opens up the possibility toinvestigate the local structure of many technologically relevant materials forwhich no crystals large enough for single-crystal X-ray diffraction areavailable.
