Based on an analytical expression of electron dynamical diffraction derived recently, the exit wavefunctions of nonperiodic samples have been calculated. The results have shown that the amplitude and phase obtained by the analytical expression were in good agreement with those obtained using the multi-slice method. Besides, the influence of the higher-order Laue zone on the wavefunction for different sample thickness was studied in detail and the results showed that the exit wavefunction is dominated by the zero-order Laue zone. When the sample is very thin, the influence of the higher-order Laue zone should be considered.
