With the advent of crystal growth techniques which enable device structure control at the atomic level has arrived a need to determine the crystal structure at a commensurate scale. In particular, in epitaxial lattice mismatched multilayers, it is of prime importance to know the lattice parameter, and hence strain, in individual layers in order to explain the novel electronic behavior of such structures. In this work higher order Laue zone (holz) lines in the convergent beam microdiffraction patterns from a thermal emission transmission electron microscope (TEM) have been used to measure lattice parameters to an accuracy of a few parts in a thousand from nanometer areas of material.Although the use of CBM to measure strain using a dedicated field emission scanning transmission electron microscope has already been demonstrated, the recording of the diffraction pattern at the required resolution involves specialized instrumentation. In this work, a Topcon 002B TEM with a thermal emission source with condenser-objective (CO) electron optics is used.
