Abstract

Observations on small vapour-deposited particles of silver and gold with direct lattice imaging in the Cambridge University 600 kV high-resolution electron microscope have established unambiguously the presence of dislocations in particles as small as 15 nm in diameter. The detailed structure of more complicated “polyparticles” can also be characterized directly.
