47. For our current setup, the time resolution is mostly determined by the electron pulse width. With an electron flux of the order of microam-peres, internuclear separations can usually be determined with a precision of 0.001 Å. To date, the accuracy of UED has been less than that of GED because of the demand on time resolution. The electron flux must be kept very low (on the order of hundreds of femtoamperes) to maintain the ultrafast temporal resolution. Improvements in electron gun design are currently underway.

49. Vibrational displacements of the atoms are normally treated as small and harmonic. At a higher level of sophistication, small anharmonicity corrections and centrifugal distortions are included. See, for example, a) L. S. Bartell, J. Chem. Phys. 1955, 23, 1219-1222;

54. Internuclear distances and RMS vibrational amplitudes are typically obtained from quantum chemical calculations followed by normal coordinate analysis of the resulting Cartesian force field. See, for example: refs. [45], [31]. Alternatively, RMS vibrational amplitudes may be obtained from spectroscopic data, see V. S. Mastryukov, O. V. Dorofeeva, J. Struct. Chem. 1979, 20, 504-508, or estimated using empirical equations (ref. [34]).
55. We note that the experimental molecular intensity is dominated by the scattering terms involving heavier atoms (ref. [12]).

57. Conversion of a two-dimensional UED pattern into a one-dimensional scattering intensity curve is similar to the radial averaging of intensity data introduced in 1947 by I. and J. Karle for a standard GED experiment: I. L. Karle, D. Hoober, J. Karle, J. Chem. Phys. 1947, 15, 765.

However, as our extensive studies of the temperature impact on the shapes of sM(s), f(r), ΔsM(s), and Δf(r) have indicated, a temperature difference of several Kelvin would not have a significant effect on the quality of UED simulations (Figure 12).
