Experimental values of the thermal resistivity for a number of elements, including copper, silver, gold, argon, germanium, silicon, antimony, and bismuth, are compared with theoretical values deduced from the anharmonic coupling between lattice vibrations. For copper-, silver-, and gold�rich alloys experimental and theoretical data for scattering of lattice waves by point defects are compared.

Crystallographic Shear

Since point defects have a limited solubility in the rutile (TiO2) lattice, small deviations from stoichiometry are known to produce crystallographic shear (CS) planes which accomodate local variations in composition. The material used in this study was porous polycrystalline TiO2 (60% dense), in the form of 3mm. diameter disks, 1mm thick. Samples were mechanically polished, ion-milled by conventional techniques, and initially examined with the use of a Siemens EM102. The electron transparent thin foils were then heat-treated under controlled atmospheres of CO/CO2 and H2 and reexamined in the same manner.The “as-received” material contained mostly TiO2 grains (∼5μm diameter) which had no extended defects. Several grains however, aid exhibit a structure similar to micro-twinned grains observed in reduced rutile. Lattice fringe images (Fig. 1) of these grains reveal that the adjoining layers are not simply twin related variants of a single TinO2n-1 compound. Rather these layers (100 - 250 Å wide) are alternately comprised of stoichiometric TiO2 (rutile) and reduced TiO2 in the form of Ti8O15, with the Ti8O15 layers on either side of the TiO2 being twin related.

Dark Field Electron

Tilted beam dark-field microscopy has been applied to atomic structure determination in perfect crystals, several synthesized molecules with heavy atcm markers and in the study of displaced atoms in crystals. Interpretation of this information in terms of atom positions and atom correlations is not straightforward. Therefore, calculated dark-field images can be an invaluable aid in image interpretation.

One of the most important applications of the electron microscope in recent years has been to the observation of defects in crystals. Replica techniques have been widely utilized for many years for the observation of surface defects, but more recently the most striking use of the electron microscope has been for the direct observation of internal defects in crystals, utilizing the transmission of electrons through thin samples.Defects in crystals may be classified basically as point defects, line defects, and planar defects, all of which play an important role in determining the physical or chemical properties of a material. Point defects are of two types, either vacancies where individual atoms are missing from lattice sites, or interstitials where an atom is situated in between normal lattice sites. The so-called point defects most commonly observed are actually aggregates of either vacancies or interstitials. Details of crystal defects of this type are considered in the special session on “Irradiation Effects in Materials” and will not be considered in detail in this session.

High Arsenic

Grown-in dislocations in GaAs have been a major obstacle in utilizing this material for the potential electronic devices. Although it has been proposed in many reports that supersaturation of point defects can generate dislocation loops in growing crystals and can be a main formation mechanism of grown-in dislocations, there are very few reports on either the observation or the structural analysis of the stoichiometry-generated loops. In this work, dislocation loops in an arsenic-rich GaAs crystal have been studied by transmission electron microscopy.The single crystal with high arsenic concentration was grown using the Horizontal Bridgman method. The arsenic source temperature during the crystal growth was about 630°C whereas 617±1°C is normally believed to be optimum one to grow a stoichiometric compound. Samples with various orientations were prepared either by chemical thinning or ion milling and examined in both a JEOL JEM 200CX and a Siemens Elmiskop 102.

Field Imaging

It is necessary to improve the resolution, brightness and signal-to-noise ratio(s/n) for the detection and identification of point defects in crystals. In order to observe point defects, multi-beam dark-field imaging is one of the useful methods. Though this method can improve resolution and brightness compared with dark-field imaging by diffuse scattering, the problem of s/n still exists. In order to improve the exposure time due to the low intensity of the dark-field image and the low resolution, we discuss in this paper the bright-field high-resolution image and the corresponding subtracted image with reference to a changing noise level, and examine the possibility for in-situ observation, identification and detection of the movement of a point defect produced in the early stage of damage process by high energy electron bombardment.The high-resolution image contrast of a silicon single crystal in the [10] orientation containing a triple divacancy cluster is calculated using the Cowley-Moodie dynamical theory and for a changing gaussian noise level. This divacancy model was deduced from experimental results obtained by electron spin resonance. The calculation condition was for the lMeV Berkeley ARM operated at 800KeV.

Stacking Fault Tetrahedra

In electron microscope studies of crystalline solids there is a broad class of very small objects which are imaged primarily by strain contrast. Typical examples include: dislocation loops, precipitates, stacking fault tetrahedra and voids. Such objects are very difficult to identify and measure because of the sensitivity of their image to a host of variables and a similarity in their images. A number of attempts have been made to publish contrast rules to help the microscopist sort out certain subclasses of such defects. For example, Ashby and Brown (1963) described semi-quantitative rules to understand small precipitates. Eyre et al. (1979) published a catalog of images for BCC dislocation loops. Katerbau (1976) described an analytical expression to help understand contrast from small defects. There are other publications as well.
