Xiaodong Zou is the chair of Inorganic and Structural Chemistry
Unit, Department of Materials and Environmental Chemistry, and
director of the Berzelii Centre EXSELENT on Porous Materials,
Stockholm University. She is a member of the IUCr Commission on
Electron Crystallography (2002-2011) and the Structure Commission
of International Zeolite Association (2010-). She received several
awards, including the K.H. Kuo Award for Distinguished Scientist
(2010) and,
Göran Gustafsson Prize in Chemistry (2008) and Tage Erlander Prize
(2002), both given by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. Her
main research interests include method development for 3D
structure
determination of nano-sized materials by X-ray diffraction and
electron crystallography, especially on zeolites and related porous
materials and complex intermetallic compounds, and synthesis and
applications of inorganic open-framework materials and
metal-organic frameworks. Peter Oleynikov has been a researcher at
Stockholm University since 2008. He writes programs for computer
control of electron microscopes and for analysis of the diffraction
data obtain, as well as programs simulating EM
images and electron diffraction patterns.
Sven Hovmöller was visiting scientist in Madrid and Nantes and was
Secretary of the IUCr commission on Electron Crystallography
1999-2002. He introduced image processing of EM images by Fourier
transform analysis from molecular biology into inorganic chemistry
in 1984 and started, together with Xiaodong Zou, the series of
annual International schools in Electron Crystallography, in 1994.
Hovmöller develops new methods and computer programs for electron
crystallography and is also
interested in quasicrystals and their approximants and protein
structure and its prediction.
`The fields of electron microscopy and electron diffraction have
been around for a long time and, until recently, it has proved
difficult to use these techniques to determine the structures of
crystals in the way that traditional x-ray crystallographers have
been doing. However, the new subject of Electron Crystallography
has been rapidly developing and this book shows beautifully how
modern electron microscopes can now be used to solve crystal
structures.
The authors have produced a unique and thorough work that will
enable students and researchers alike to learn how this is done.
Electron Crystallography is the only book that I am aware of that
describes
modern electron diffraction/microscopy at a genuinely readable
level. It should find a place on the shelves of students and
researchers alike.'
