3.1.1. TEM Investigations of Grain Boudnaries in Silicon

In what follows I present the pictures used for the one and only major publication concerned with the structure of the grain boundaries. Besides the originals, I give some auxiliary pictures that show essentially the same structure.
 
Grain boundary in Si
Fig. 2 in publication.
Kinematical bright-field image of a low-angle twist boundary on a (111) plane. The diffraction vector in this and the forthcoming figures is indicated by narrow; here it is g = {lll}.
 
Grain boundary in Si
Auxiliary picture to Fig. 2 in publication.
Different contrast conditions show the complete network and the stacking faults in the knots
 
Grain boundary in Si
Same as above.
On the upper left the network switches to the simple heaxagonal form in a twin boundary
 
Grain boundary in Si
Fig. 3 in publication.
Direct lattice image of an amorphous region. White ' dots ' can be thought to correspond to the open channels in a <110> direction; the spacing of the fringes is 0.31 nm .
 
Grain boundary in Si
Fig. 4 in publication.
Low-angle twist boundary on a (100) plane imaged with different diffraction conditions. g={220) in 4 (a,c); g=(400) in 4 (b ); 4 (d) was taken with multi-beam conditions close to the (100) pole. The (220) Kikuchi bands, the major diffraction spots end the position of the aperture on the primary beam are indicated.
 
Grain boundary in Si
Fig. 6 in publication
The "famous" picture showing the "text book" structure of as low-angle twist boundary on
a {100 plane} with its square network of screw dislocations.
 
 
Grain boundary in Si
Auxiliary picture to Fig. 6.
Extrinsic dislocations in the dislocation network of a low-angle twist boundary on a (100) plane.
 
Grain boundary in Si
Part of the structure shown above. Weak beam, showing only one set of dislocations.
 
Grain boundary in Si
Complementary picture to the one above. Showing the other set of screw dislocations.
 
Grain boundary in Si
Similar to Fig. 6 in publication.
 
Grain boundary in Si
Similar to Fig. 6 in publication.
 
Grain boundary in Si
Fig. 7 in paper.
 
Grain boundary in Si
Detail of Fig. 7.
 
Grain boundary in Si
Similar to Fig. 7b).
 
Grain boundary in Si
Fig. 8 in paper
Even the Philosophical Magazine, allowing rather large pictures and good print
quality, could not do justice to this picture.
Here you can see the networl, if just barely.
Image of a low-angle twist boundary on a (100) plane with a twist angle of 8' taken under multi-beam conditions.
