Abstract

The best technique for observing lattice defects such as dislocations and stacking faults in transmission electron microscopy. This technique requires a thin film about 1000A thick of the material to be investigated. Metallic films are usually prepared by an electrothinning technique, but this method is not suitable for the preparation of metal oxide specimens. This research was undertaken with the intention to develop a specimen preparation technique and to observe the imperfections, such as dislocations and stacking faults in single crystal rutile.
