The quality of precession electron diffraction data is higher than necessary for structure solution of unknown crystalline phases

It is shown that a reduction in data quality does not alter the success of structure solution of unknown crystals, with high accuracy of the cation positions. The accuracy of the light-atom positions may be slightly reduced.

Precession electron diffraction of Mn₂O₃ and PbMnO_2.75: solving structures where X-rays fail

The structures of Mn₂O₃ and PbMnO_2.75 have been solved from powder samples by precession electron diffraction data. The number of reflections measured appears to be the significant parameter for structure solution rather than precession angle, resolution limit and Lorentz-type correction.
