Abundant dislocations and dislocations associated with stacking faults were observed and characterized in YBa2Cu3O7−δ (δ= 0.77). The crystallographic orientation of the dislocation and the fault were analyzed using Kikuchi patterns matched with computer generated Kikuchi maps. The Burgers vector of the dislocation and the displacement vector of the fault were determined by using the g·b = 0 and g · R=0 criteria.Bulk samples of YBa2Cu3O7 were produced by standard pressing and sintering up to 970 °C. Samples were heated in air, then quenched into liquid nitrogen to reduce oxygen content. Subsequent anneal at 200 ° C took place with samples sealed in silica with 1/2 atm. of argon. TEM specimens were thinned by ion mill and examined in a JEOL 2000FX electron microscope operating at 200kv.X-ray powder diffraction and convergent beam electron diffraction with 200 Å spot size show that YBa2Cu3O6.23 has a tetragonal structure.

AbstractBy transmission electron microscopy with extended Burgers vector analyses, we demonstrate the edge and screw character of vertical dislocations (VDs) in novel SiGe heterostructures. The investigated pillar-shaped Ge epilayers on prepatterned Si(001) substrates are an attempt to avoid the high defect densities of lattice mismatched heteroepitaxy. The Ge pillars are almost completely strain-relaxed and essentially defect-free, except for the rather unexpected VDs. We investigated both pillar-shaped and unstructured Ge epilayers grown either by molecular beam epitaxy or by chemical vapor deposition to derive a general picture of the underlying dislocation mechanisms. For the Burgers vector analysis we used a combination of dark field imaging and large-angle convergent beam electron diffraction (LACBED). With LACBED simulations we identify ideally suited zeroth and second order Laue zone Bragg lines for an unambiguous determination of the three-dimensional Burgers vectors. By analyzing dislocation reactions we confirm the origin of the observed types of VDs, which can be efficiently distinguished by LACBED. The screw type VDs are formed by a reaction of perfect 60° dislocations, whereas the edge types are sessile dislocations that can be formed by cross-slips and climbing processes. The understanding of these origins allows us to suggest strategies to avoid VDs.

The technique of convergent-beam electron diffraction (CBED) has been established. However there is a distinct discrepancy concerning the CBED pattern symmetries associated with translation symmetries parallel to the incident beam direction: Buxton et al. assumed no detectable effects of translation components, while Goodman predicted no associated symmetries. In this report a procedure used by Gjønnes & Moodie1 to obtain dynamical extinction rules will be extended in order to derive the CBED pattern symmetries as well as the dynamical extinction rules.
