HOLZ

In convergent-beam electron-diffraction (CBED) patterns at a zone axis orientation, the bright-field disc is often intersected by a set of fine dark lines known as higher-order Laue zone (HOLZ) lines. These lines result from high-angle scattering, causing higher-order Laue reciprocal planes to intersect the Ewald sphere. 

HOLZ4 is an interactive program that simulates these HOLZ lines using kinematical approximation and a first-order dynamic correction. The main features are listed here,

• Intensity Threshold Adjustments: Easy adjustments for intensity thresholds.
• Index Display: Updated display system to show indices on the entire CBED pattern and on HOLZ lines.
• Crystal Constraint: Introduced for tuning lattice parameters.
• Figure Preparation Tools: Provided figure label tool and region of interest (ROI) feature for preparing publication-ready figures.
• File Saving Formats: Integrated interface for saving files in TIFF, PNG, JPEG, and GIF formats.
