Abstract

High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) has been used to study structures found in secondphase particles in commercial alumina compacts. Analytical electron microscopy has been used to identify elements present in the particles. Computer image simulation has been used for both the structural interpretation of high resolution images and predicting the effect which the presence of other elements would have on the observed structures.
