Abstract

Dark-field images of two-dimensional antiphase domain structures with stepped boundaries have been simulated for imaging conditions corresponding to some current high resolution electron microscopes. The simulations reveal that the positions of the dots in the dark-field images do not give a true representation of atomic structure; thus, in contrast to the brightfield superstructure images, it is very misleading to say that bright dots in the dark-field image correspond exactly to the positions of the minority atoms.
