Graphite is in the hexagonal crystal system. Graphite is made up of thin layers of the element carbon and is one of the only two allotropes of the element. The other is diamond.

What is the principle of the electron diffractionof graphite?

The principle of electron diffraction of graphite involves using a beam of electrons to interact with the crystal lattice of graphite. When the electrons hit the lattice, they diffract, producing a pattern that can be used to determine the crystal structure of graphite. By analyzing the diffraction pattern, information about the arrangement of carbon atoms in the graphite crystal lattice can be obtained.

Why are diamonds made from graphite not a mineral?

By definition, a mineral must form by natural processes. So anything man-made, even if it is chemically an structurally identical to a mineral, is not a mineral. However, natural diamond is formed from graphite as well.
