Abstract

Dislocation motion and interaction can best be observed using the technique of transmission electron microscopy. This requires the thickness of the material being investigated to be about 1000 "formula". The objective of this research is to thin rutile to 1000 "formula" by developing a technique based on ion bombardment.
