Structure analysis of new mineral species: current state and perspectives

A brief overview of X-ray diffraction techniques currently used for the structural investigation of new minerals is provided, focusing mostly on X-ray diffraction from single crystals, which remains the most widely used method, and on the emerging field of electron diffraction methods that are expected to overtake, to some extent, the role of X-ray diffraction methods.
