The method successfully reproduced the distinctive crystal structures of both carbon (graphite and diamond) and silicon dioxide (low-quartz, low-cristobalite, and coesite). It worked. However ...

It melts at 3727 C. The stable form of carbon at room temperature is Graphite which has a hexagonal crystal structure. (Top diagram) Diamond is metastable at room temperature and has a diamond cubic ...

Yuuki Kubo, University of Tokyo The researchers validated their method by applying it to well-studied materials, successfully reproducing the unique crystal structures of carbon (graphite and ...

It is worthwhile to contrast the diffraction of electrons with the diffraction of light by a two dimensional grid. It is also worthwhile to take along the model of the graphite crystal structure.
